“After 14000 miles front brakes need to be replaced. Also own a 2011 Chrysler 200, also needed to replace front brakes at 19000 miles. I believe Chrysler is using poor material for there front brakes. Since I replaced the 2011 brakes, with auto zone parts, I have gone over 40,000 miles more and brakes are still good. Would like to find out if this should be a recall. Thank you.”
