“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.”
