Description of the problem | Tl* the contact owns a 2016 dodge challenger. The contact stated that the air bag warning indicator illuminated. Also, whenever the brake pedal was depressed, the brakes made a squeaking noise as if they were prematurely wearing. The contact stated that the brakes failed to stop the vehicle in a timely manner. The vehicle also made a clunking noise as if metal were touching whenever the gears were shifted from park to drive and vice versa, as well as whenever the contact drove downhill. The contact took the vehicle to poway chrysler jeep dodge ram (13811 poway road, poway, ca 92064; 858-218-2213) where it was diagnosed that the brake pads needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and opened case numbers: 30285247 and 31041577. The manufacturer also sent an investigator to view the brakes.
