PREMATURE FRONT BRAKE WEAR ON 2009 DODGE JOURNEY. AT 13,000 MILES THE FRONT BRAKE PADS HAD TO BE REPLACED FOR STATE INSPECTION. THIS WAS IN MAY OF 2009. NOW THAT THE CAR HAS 27,000 MILES ON IT THE FRONT BRAKES STARTED GRINDING SUDDENLY. NOW THE FRONT BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACED. NEVER HAD TO REPLACE BRAKES ON A CAR EVERY 13,000 MILES. CHECKED THE INTERNET AND FOUND VERY SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. IS THERE A RECALL OR A PERMANENT FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM OTHER THAN REPLACING BRAKES EVERY 6 MONTHS? *TR
