I WAS GETTING NOISE FROM THE BRAKES AND A SLIGHT VIBRATION AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, 50 MPH OR HIGHER. PER DEALER DIAGNOSIS FRONT AND REAR ROTORS NEEDED TO BE TURNED, BUT THE BRAKE PADS ARE FINE, THEY TURNED THE ROTORS. ABOUT APRIL OR MAY I BEGAN TO FEEL THE SLIGHT VIBRATION AGAIN WHEN DRIVING AT SPEEDS ABOVE 50 MPH. I FORGOT TO TELL THE DEALERSHIP IN APRIL WHEN I HAD MY OIL CHANGED. I WAITED UNTIL THE NEXT OIL CHANGE BUT BY THIS TIME I HAD 13,000+ MILES ON IT. I WAS ADVISED MY FRONT ROTORS NEEDED REPLACING AND THAT I WAS OUT OF THE 12 MONTH/12,000 MILE WARRANTY AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY A $50 DEDUCTIBLE TO HAVE PADS AND ROTORS REPLACED, ALTHOUGH AGAIN THE PADS WERE NOT WORN. I PAID RELUCTANTLY, BUT I NEEDED MY VEHICLE WORKING PROPERLY AS I WAS PLANNING TO TAKE A "JOURNEY" IN IT. NOW I HAVE ABOUT 17,000 MILES AND THE PULSATION AND NOISE IS BACK. THE DIAGNOSIS IS THE REAR ROTORS NOW NEED REPLACING BUT AGAIN THE PAD WEAR IS OK. THE DEALER AND CHRYSLER LLC ARE NOW TELLING ME AGAIN I AM OUT OF WARRANTY AND HAVE TO PAY A $50 DEDUCTIBLE TO REPLACE THE REAR ROTORS AND PADS BECAUSE IF YOU REPLACE ROTORS YOU SHOULD ALSO REPLACE PADS. I HAVE NOTICED MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS FOR DODGE JOURNEY OWNERS FROM 2009-PRESENT ABOUT BRAKES AND ROTORS. I STRONGLY BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND THE ROTORS AT LEAST NEED TO BE RECALLED. I HAVE AN 11 YEAR OLD CHILD AND I AM NOW EXPECTING ANOTHER. DO NOT WANT TO DRIVE A VEHICLE WHERE I CONSTANTLY HAVE TO REPLACE ROTORS EVERY 5000 MILES ON THE FRONT AND 15,000 ON THE REAR. THIS IS NOT NORMAL FOR ANY VEHICLE NEW OR USED THAT I HAVE OWNED, INCLUDING OTHER SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES OF THIS SIZE. *TR
2009
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I HAVE A BRAND NEW 2009 DODGE JOURNEY. THE STEERING MAKES NOISE, INTERIOR LIGHTS DON'T WORK, HAZARD LIGHTS DON'T WORK, LOCKS MALFUNCTION, ALARM MALFUNCTIONS AND WON'T TURN OFF...I BROUGHT IT IN TO HAVE THE STEERING ISSUE LOOKED AT AND WAS TOLD THEY NEED TO KEEP IT FOR AT LEAST A DAY TO FIX IT. THEY REFUSE, HOWEVER TO GIVE ME A RENTAL UNTIL THEY FIND A DIAGNOSIS, WHICH THEY NOW TELL ME WILL TAKE AT LEAST 2 DAYS. SO, I'M DRIVING AROUND WITH A CAR THAT HAS ONE THING AFTER ANOTHER BREAKING ON IT BECAUSE I CAN'T AFFORD TO GO 2 DAYS WITHOUT A CAR. I HAVE TO WORK. THEY DON'T STAND BY THEIR PRODUCT AND IT'S GOING TO CAUSE PROBLEMS FOR MANY CONSUMERS. *TR
