Squeaking noise when brake pedal is pressed....
Horrible windshield wiper squeaking....
Are there any service bulletins on them, and if not, what gives?

RE: Anyone else bothered by these small issues?
well if your brakes are squeaking maybe your brake pads are wore out and the squealers are rubbing. or else it could be a rock in the brakes if you get a rock in there hold down the brakes and drive in reverse for a few meters and it should pop out. don't know what to tell you about the wipers tho good luck. the one problem i got is that when i have my heat set to feet and defrost on and the fan is on high it starts to make a high pitch squealing noise like the squealers on brake pads. its on the drivers side where the noise comes from.

RE: Anyone else bothered by these small issues?
Do you mean squeeking from the brake pedal, or squeeking from the brakes? I've got squeeking from the brakes. No matter what I do, I can't get it to go away. The dealership, after looking at it several times, says "it's normal". I seriously doubt it's normal, but I've resigned myself to eventually just upgrading rotors and pads as soon as I can. The DC rotors and pads seem to be pretty crappy in general, anyway.

He was talking about the brake pedal. My 05 Hemi does it, but not all the time.
04 SRT clutch died.
Door seals on both of them.
Those are the only issues I have had with my 05 Hemi or 04 SRT. The 05 has just under 13K and the SRT has 11K, both are tight, no rattles (other than the aftermarket tonneau) and look great!

I am a little bothered by the wiper squeeks and streaking. I think the factory DC wipers are just awful. Anyway, I will putting in some Rain-x or Bosch wiper blades in soon. Mine is an 06 with 7,400 miles on it.
