Front and Rear Brake Rotors
The braking system on a 2012 Dodge Charger is engineered so the front rotors typically do more work than the rear rotors—front rotors absorb more kinetic energy during stops, so they wear faster and often require attention sooner. At Larry H. Miller Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram 104th in Denver, CO, our certified technicians evaluate both front and rear rotors using precise thickness gauges and performance tests to determine whether resurfacing or replacement is the safest, longest-lasting option. Choosing OEM rotors and pads ensures compatibility with the Charger’s ABS and stability systems, preserving braking balance and vehicle dynamics. We explain the differences clearly: front rotor issues often produce pulsation or vibration under braking, while rear rotor wear might show as noise or reduced stopping force in specific conditions. Our service lanes are set up for efficient inspections, and we provide upfront estimates, OEM parts, and warranty-backed labor—delivering both immediate savings and lower long-term costs. For convenience, you can schedule service online, and check our current service specials to maximize value. Drive away confident that your Charger’s braking system was serviced by factory-trained technicians who know these vehicles inside and out.

Different types of 2012 Dodge Charger Disc Brakes
Disc brake systems for the 2012 Dodge Charger range from standard solid rotors to vented and slotted high-performance designs. Solid rotors are common on the rear of many sedans and offer cost-effective, reliable braking for everyday driving. Vented rotors—a standard on high-performance models—feature internal cooling vanes to dissipate heat more effectively during repeated heavy braking, making them ideal for the Charger’s performance profile. Slotted or drilled rotors enhance pad bite and help evacuate gases and debris under extreme use, but may wear pads faster and require specific pad compounds. At Larry H. Miller Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram 104th our technicians recommend the proper rotor type based on your driving habits and the 2012 Dodge Charger’s factory setup. We install OEM or manufacturer-recommended upgrades when appropriate, and always back parts and labor with dealership warranty coverage. Before any work, we provide a detailed explanation of benefits and costs, and you can take advantage of financing or our current service specials. Ready to protect your braking system?
