TIRED OF SPENDING MONEY OVER AND OVER AGAIN FOR THE SAME PROBLEM WITH NO RESOLUTION. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN SERVICED 14 TIMES ACCORDING TO DODGE CORPORATE OFFICE SINCE IT WAS PURCHASED IN APRIL 2010
I HAVE HAD THE ROTORS, PADS, CALIPERS, AND MASTER CYLINDER REPLACED SEVERAL TIMES IN THE PAST 7 YEARS, MORE THAN ANY OTHER VEHICLE I HAVE OWNED IN MY 45 YEAR LIFETIME. I HAVE HAD ALL OF MY CAR'S REPAIRS DONE THROUGH SEARS SO THE BRAKES ARE WARRANTIED. I HAD THE MASTER CYLINDER REPLACED IN DEC. 2016 AND NOW HAVING TO TURN AROUND AND HAVING TO REPLACE THEM AGAIN.
I HAVE REPLACED BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS NUMEROUS TIMES. I HAVE HAD TO HAVE THE ENTIRE BREAKING SYSTEM REPAIRED SEVERAL TIMES. HAVE SPENT A LOT OF MONEY ON REPAIRS. BRAKES SHOULD NOT HAVE TO BE REPLACED THIS OFTEN.
THE VEHICLE HAS A 100000+ MILES NEVER REALIZED THAT I WOULD HAVE TO CHANGE THE BRAKES NEARLY 30 TIMES IN THAT TIME FRAME ALMOST 4 OR 5 TIMES A YEAR THEY SHAKE VIBRATE I REPLACED THE ROTORS THE CALIPERS SHOES AND ANYTHING TO DO WITH BRAKES INCLUDING BOOSTER AND FLUID CHECKED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND EVERYTHING THEY SEEM TO LOCK UP AND AT ONCE SO HOT IT MELTED MY DRIVERS SIDE HUB CAP OFF THEY LOCKED UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREEWAY AND ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT I FEEL THE BREAKS ARE TOO LIGHT FOR THE WEIGHT OF THE VEHICLE THE CAR IS PAID FOR AND OUT OF WARRANTY AND CAN'T REPLACE THE AMOUNT OF MONEY I PAID FIXING BUT IS THERE A RECALL? HAS ANYBODY FILED A LAWSUIT?HAS ANYBODY GOT HURT INJURED OR EVEN LOST THERE LIFE TO THESE BREAKS?
I HAVE HAD TO HAVE THE BREAK PADS AND ROTORS CHANGED 4 TIMES IN THE LAST YEAR. I HAVE READ SO MANY COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE SAME ISSUE. WHY IS THERE NOT A RECALL?
BRAKES WILL NOT HOLD CAR ON A DOWNHILL STEEP GRADE. WHILE ON A CITY STREET GOING DOWN HILL A RED LIGHT AHEAD. I APPLIED BRAKES CAR COULD NOT STOP WITH PLENTY OF TIME TO STOP I HAD TO ROLL THROUGH THE RED LIGHT.
I HAVE NEEDED TO REPLACE THE BRAKES TWICE WITH LESS THAN 50,000 MILES ON MY CAR. IT COULD BE A DANGER IF THEY COMPLETELY FAIL.
I BOUGHT MY 2010 DODGE JOURNEY NEW AFTER AN ACCIDENT TOTALED OUT MY PREVIOUS VEHICLE. I AM A SINGLE MOM WITH ONE VEHICLE FOR OUR FAMILY OF 4 AND THOUGHT THIS WOULD BE A GOOD SAFE VEHICLE FOR MY FAMILY. QUITE THE OPPOSITE! I HAVE SPENT SO MUCH MONEY ON THIS CAR FOR REPAIRS, HAVE HAD 2 RECALL ISSUES (ONE OF WHICH LEFT ME AND ONE OF MY DAUGHTERS STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AT NIGHT), AND HAVE ALSO HAD TO REPLACE THE BRAKES, ROTOR, CALIPER, MORE TIMES THAN I CAN REMEMBER. THE LAST TIME WAS IN FEB. AND NOW MY CAR HAS ALREADY RECENTLY STARTED SHAKING AGAIN WHEN I APPLY THE BRAKES. I HAVE ONLY DRIVEN ABOUT 9,000 MILES SINCE REPLACED LAST. THIS IS NOT A SINGLE INCIDENT BUT A REPETITIVE SAFETY ISSUE. I CANNOT KEEP UP WITH THE EXTREMELY HIGH AMOUNT OF REPAIRS AND COSTS IT TAKES TO KEEP THIS VEHICLE SAFE TO DRIVE.
BKES ARE ABLE TO MAINTAIN WEIGHT OF VEHICLE THEY SHOULD BE UP DATED TO TO ACCEPT WEIGHT OF VEHICLE OR MANUFACTURER SHOULD BUY BACK THESE PIECES OF GARBAGE
I HAVE A 10 DODGE JOURNEY AWD R/T , I AM ALSO A ASE CERTIFIED MECHANIC. MY WIFE DRIVES THIS THING EASY.. NO MATTER WHAT BRAND OF ROTORS OR PADS I USE THE PROBLEM COMES BACK.. THE PROBLEM I SEE IS, THE BRAKES ARE NOT UP TO PAR, BASICALLY TO SMALL FOR THIS VEHICLE.. THE ROTORS SHOULD HAVE BEEN AT LEAST 1 TO 1.5 INCHES LARGER IN DIA.
