Stratus LE

  • 28,000 miles

Brake warning light keeps coming on - announced with it's dinging sound. This only happened when I made right hand turns...even when I had NO pressure applied to the brake pedal. However, yesterday, the "brake" light came on AFTER I'd stopped at a red light...as in about 30 seconds after I stopped. When I called a dealer near where I work, they diagnosed...over the phone, mind you... that my brakes were worn and need replacing. Sorry...over 80% of the miles are highway and there's no loss of braking. Also, my mileage is 28-30 on the highway. Doesn't seem brakes are 'stuck'. HELP....please!
