PURCHASED OUR 2009 JOURNEY IN THE SUMMER OF ї09. I LIVE IN THE COUNTRY AND DRIVE APPROXIMATELY 25 MILES TO AND FROM WORK, WITH ONLY 4 STOP LIGHTS BETWEEN. AT 27K MILES WE HAD TO HVE THE FRONT BRAKES AND ROTORS REPLACED. SUDDENLY ONE DAY WITHOUT ANY SORT OF WARNING IT SOUNDED LIKE MY FRONT END HAD FALLEN OFF WHEN I CAME TO A STOP. THE NOISE WAS SO BAD THAT I PULLED TO THE SIDE AND PUT MY HAZARDS ON HONESTLY THOUGHT IT WAS AN ENGINGE ISSUE BECAUSE THE NOISE AND SHAKE WAS SO HORRIBLE. HUSBAND CAME AND DROVE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. FOUND OUT THAT WE WERE METAL ON METAL THE FRONT BRAKES AND ROTORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED REAR WERE JUST FINE. DEALERSHIP TRIED TO TELL US THIS IS NORMAL AND THAT IT WAS IN THE MILAGE RANGE TO NEED THIS WORK DONE. TOLD THEM THEY WERE CRAZYїTHIS WAS THE 9TH DODGE VEHICLE WE HAD OWNED AND NEVER HAD WE HAD AN ISSUE LIKE THIS. THEY ENDED UP COMPING THE ROTORS FOR US BUT WE NEEDED TO PAY FOR BRAKES. DODGE CAME ALONG IN JUNE OF 2011 AND REIMBURSED US FOR THE BRAKE REPAIR. NOW 15K MILES LATER I SUDDENLY HAD THE SAME HORRIBLE NOISE BUT IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. TOOK IT TO THE DEALEARSHIP AND WHAT DO YOU KNOW THE REAR BRAKES AND ROTORS NEED TO BE REPLACED. CALLED CHRYSLER THIS MORNING, WAITING TO SEE WHAT COMES OF IT. *TT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 DODGE JOURNEY SE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30-35 MPH, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKES EXHIBITED AN UNUSUAL SQUEALING NOISE THAT WOULD BECOME LOUDER WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE WOULD EXHIBIT AN ABNORMAL RUBBING NOISE WHEN ATTEMPTING A TURN. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO SECURE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS AND POSSIBLE REPAIRS. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 34,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 34,100.
