This problem may be covered under warranty. Ask your Dodge dealer.
I changed brake pads that's what they said it was, It stopped squeaking for a bit and now it comes and goes all the time and I don't know what to do. Just got the car and I'm so upset

A week after I bought this car, which had around 21k miles, I noticed that the brakes made an annoying squeaking noise. Not all the time just whenever. I took it to brake repair place and they stated that nothing could be found wrong. I know this year had a brake release recall which was fixed so I have just chalked it up to that.

I am a Chevy person; but the look of the Calibur really appealed to me for some reason. After owning vehicle couple months took to dealer for squealing brakes. Was squeaking again before i got home. Since dealer was 1/2 hour away, went back couple weeks later. Was told Chrysler knew about this and had been working on it for over a year? Several trips to dealer (which always seemed to take up half my day), Cleaned, adjusted, new brake shoes.......never fixed. and the dealer was no longer cooperating. Finally this year i traded it in for a Ford Escape; and I love it. Will never own a Chrysler product again.

If it's not one thing it's another... my breaks sound bad, and it's irritating because I don't stomp on my breaks or abuse my car in other ways so why is this happening? I just think it's too soon to have to replace my breaks

Its no my only problem i have sent the crappy car to the dealer for warranty like 25 times and it always stays the same or worst.

Car only has 30,000Km(driven 90Km average daily) and squeaks at every stop. Returned to dealer and they said I needed "service" to remove rust from brakes and calipers not covered by "bumper to bumper" warranty. I thought it was warebars on brake pads was not. I did not have "service" because tech told me that rust would return and posed no problem with brakes. I will take apart and put some brake pad anti-squeel but in the meantime I drive with CD player cranked...can't hear squeal :)

Premature brake wear on front and rear brakes for a second time since original brakes. I am a very slow and cautious driver, therefore this issue was beyond me. The car is a money pit.
