Component | SERVICE BRAKES |
Product type code | VEHICLE |
Description of the problem | 90% of the time when in reverse the brakes give a very loud grinding sort of sound as if metal is on metal. The amount of pressure applied on the brakes does not matter as it will happen even with the lightest of pressure. Owned this vehicle 28 days and it is in the shop for a second time already, first repair attempt was for the service dept to "break in the brakes" which i have never heard of being needed on a new car and the dealership said that was chrysler's engineering's recommendation. This solved the problem until the moment they brought my car around in the service bay in which it returned but slightly softer when the service manager put it in reverse. Over the next couple days it went right back to the loud grinding sound as before and has continued. On my second return, a week later, the dealership has admitted to 5 other 200's having come back with the same issue so far since my first repair attempt. Car is in the shop on its 4th day this time around and still waiting for a definite solution to this issue. |
