The parking brake system on my 2023 Dodge Charger has repeatedly become loose and does not hold the vehicle securely. The vehicle has been taken to a Dodge dealership multiple times for adjustment or repair of the parking brake. After the most recent dealership service, the parking brake worked temporarily, but approximately one month later it became loose again and stopped holding the vehicle properly. The problem is especially concerning when the vehicle is parked on the sloped driveway outside my garage. Even when the parking brake is fully applied, the vehicle is not securely held in place and could potentially roll downhill, creating a safety risk to people, other vehicles, and property

"Between 12,000 and 13,000 miles, the parking brake pedal on my 2023 Dodge Charger began dropping to the floor with no physical resistance. It would fail to engage unless I rocked the vehicle back and forth. During an inspection at 14,000 miles, the dealership discovered the parking brake shoes had completely ground down to bare metal. During this entire period, the vehicle’s active audible safety chime completely failed to warn me of any brake drag while driving. While my specific VIN is not currently included in the manifest, this vehicle make and model has an active Federal Safety Recall (NHTSA Campaign 24V112000) for improperly adjusted parking brakes from the factory.
