I have had my tires replace about every 25,000 miles the are wearing really bad on the inside I have had alignments done and there is no issue with the alignment I have spent over $1000 on tires not sure if it is caused by the brakes and rotors being bad. I've had them replaced twice also.

We had to change the brake pads and/or rotors three times in 70,000 miles. The last brake job required replacing the rear caliper, along with the rotors and pads - which was very costly. The mechanic told us this was fairly common, with this car. My only complaint with this vehicle, is the brakes. They are simply terrible. Dodge really needs to fix this mistake.

We have had to replace front brake pads and rotors approximately every 12,000 miles on this car. We bought the car used with only approximately 18,000 miles on it and at approximately 19,000 miles the front brake pads and rotors had to be replaced for worn out pads and warped rotors. Took it to a Dodge dealer to see why the brakes wore out so early and they said it had non-mopar brake pads on it so it voided the warranty and there was nothing they could do for us. It has approximately 58,000 miles on it now and we have had to replace the front brake pads and rotors 3 times for worn out pads and warped rotors and the rear brake pads and rotors once at 40,000 miles for the same. I have never had a vehicle go thru brakes like this one. The brakes are undersized for the weight of the vehicle and Dodge knows it but refuses to do anything about it, that is not right! when the brakes wear out this quickly with normal driving conditions there is a problem. This needs to be addressed before someone gets injured or killed due to this poorly designed brake system.

I experienced shaking/pulsations on the brake pedal when slowing down for a stop (the faster I was going before decline in speed, the larger the shaking/pulsation would be). I took the vehicle to a local mechanic who informed me that the calipers on the front wheels were sticking and that the pistons were getting hot and would eventually crack. He also informed me that this is not normal for a vehicle that is less than 2 years old with only 15K miles on it.

We have had our car for 15 months now, brake pads and rotors need to be replaced every 3-5 months! caliper on front end was so damaged from brake system the mechanic almost wouldn't let us drive home. This is our only car we have 2 kids and one income, we can't afford to risk our children's lives, and we can't afford to keep making payments on a death trap on top of all the repairs.

At 9000 miles, I had to stop very fast because someone pulled out in front of me. When I stopped, the whole front end shuttered. I took it in to machaik Dodge, they replaced the rotors and pads stating they were warped. They said nothing about it being a safety recall. Which it still isn't. I finally received a recall letter 2 months after it being fixed the first timer. Now at 35,000 miles, I need brake pads. I took it back to machaik today 1/27/2012, they told me they would replace the brake pads for a $100 deductible. My problem is all the complaints people are having with the brake pads and having to replace them every 15-25,000 miles.

The transmission hits very hard about 50% of the time when shifting into drive from any other stick position this is causing transmission damage Chrysler is aware of the problem the dealer shop mark Dodge showed me an email they got back from Chrysler after the shop foreman noted this defect was happening and contacted Chrysler about what to do. The response from Chrysler was " [xxx] this has been noted in several prior cases. At this time it is considered characteristic- [xxx] " so a transmission banging into gear is characteristic.

1) I had the front brakes replaces after owning the care 7 days. The dealer replaced the front rodars and brake pads. Six weeks later I complained of the metal to metal sound from the rear brakes, but the dealer told me, "you can keep driving the car, it's ok for now". now the brakes are totally gone and the front brakes are causing the car to shake when you slow down...again!! 2) the car doesn't always start. You have to crank the key 4-5 times before it will start. This seems to be in intermittent problem. 3) the transmission jerks into gear. 4) the plastic in the wheel well coming off.

I just bought a 2010 Dodge Journey for my family one month ago and the brakes are already giving me problems. The brakes were fine when I first bought the vehicle one month ago. I am having severe vibrations in the steering wheel as a result of the rotors being warped. The car only has about 22600 miles on it and the rotors should not be warped at this point in the car's life. When braking down steep hills, the car vibrates so bad that it sounds like an 18-wheeler using its jake brake down a hill. I read online after the problem started and Dodge has 2 lawsuits against them for inadequate brakes in the Dodge Journey. I am extremely angry that I just bought this car based on it's many safety options and now I am having these problems that could put my family in danger or cost me a great deal of money.

2010 Dodge Journey. Consumer states problem with brakes and rotors a few days after purchasing the vehicle, it noticeably shook when the brake was applied going down a hill. The shaking was especially noticeable in the steering wheel and brake pedal. The consumer took the vehicle to the dealer about the problem and the dealer stated nothing was wrong and they declined to make any repairs. After two months of complaining, the dealer finally confirmed there was a problem with the front and rear rotors. They determined the rotors were out of specification. They cut the front rotors and resurfaced the rear rotors under warranty. The problem subsided for a while, but did not resolve it. A few months later, the consumer received a call from Chrysler stating there was a problem with the brakes and rotors and they would replace them if the consumer paid a warranty deductible of $100. The rear brakes and rotors had to be replaced in June 2011. The consumer received a letter from Chrysler which stated the warranty was being extended for the front brake components only. The consumer stated the brake and rotor problems have not been resolved despite numerous attempts on his part.
