First as everyone else has experienced the brakes started to squeal. Then around 30,000 miles when brakes were applied at speed around 60 mph the steering wheel began to vibrate. Later followed by extreme motion in the wheel from left to right and eventually the brakes began to cease during acceleration. Had the rotor resurfaced and new pads. 8,000 miles later steering wheel doing the same thing and when I took it to the dealership they said my tires were bad and nothing wrong with the brakes. I find this hard to believe as the exact same problem happened before ending up with a bill around $1,000. So now I am waiting for the breaks to get so bad that they will actually service the problem. I am so disgusted with this and don't know what course of action to take.

Both cars I got from the dealer broke down and had to be towed back to dealership. I told them I don't want to do business with them anymore. They never contacted the bank that the deal was no longer in affect and they needed to return the money. Now my bank has me and the owner of the first car that was sold to someone else. I called the dmv and was told its true the first car belongs to someone else. I need help this is fraud.

I own a 2006 Dodge Charger srt8. My brakes has been squeaking since 7,500 miles. The brakes were wore out by that time. The life of a brake is 12,000 miles. There is only 21,500 miles now. I changed my front and back brakes three different times. Even changed the rotors. To no avail they still squeak! I brought my car to the dealer service center at least 10 times about the brakes. Last visit was in November 2007. They said there is nothing else that can be done.
