What owners wrote
Dt: the consumer states while driving at 40 MPH the ABS failed to activate. The vehicle skidded off the road and into several trees. Upon impact, the frontal and side/curtain airbags failed to deploy. The contact felt it was a traction control problem. The ABS failed once before. There have been no repairs made at this time.

I own a 2006 dodge charger daytona r/t. She is driven very little and only has 5200 miles. The brakes have already started to develop a squeal at low speeds. It is my understanding that a large amount of other 2006+ chargers also have this issue. Updated 01-16-08.
