Problems with 2006 Dodge Stratus SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC

Without warning, while driving my 2006 dodge stratus sxt at 35 mph the bolts on the caliper bracket broke. i had no brakes and had to have it towed. one of the bolts crumbled in the mechanics hands when he removed it and the caliper bracket was bent. the bolts broke and bracket bent on the front driver's side of the car. a bracket was ordered from a local dealership and installed on my car. the brakes are good but now on the left front there is a constant squeak which worsens when braking and from time to time while driving, a knocking sound comes from the same area. i have put it in the shop twice but the knocking sound is so sporadic the mechanics have not heard it. *tr

Purchased the car in june 2007 still under warranty thinking i would not have problems since any repairs should be covered under warranty. i have taken the car in 6 times for the same repairs. the first is the brakes, they squeak and rub. they have scrubbed them 3 different time and it still is happening. (they are collecting moisture to cause rust) the second is a bump stop which i understand is common in dodge/chrysler products. they refuse to do anything more with it since when they put it on the machine the codes come back with no problems. they had replaced some of the parts back a few months ago. this repair cut down on the amount of bump stops but did not stop them. there is a creaking sound in the front end. they have greased the struts and replaced a carried arm. the noise is still there. the lights dim after 17-30 seconds when the car is running. everyone but the mechanics seems to see this one happening. dealer also sold this vehicle without disclosing it had been in a prior accident! *tr
