THIS COMPLAINT PERTAINS TO A LIMITED SUPPLY CHAIN PROBLEM WITH THE 2010 DODGE JOURNEY TIRE AND WHEEL COMBINATION WHICH MAY LEAD TO ACCIDENTS. MY 2010 JOURNEY HAS A CUSTOM TIRE SIZE OF 225/55/19, WHICH IS HOW DODGE DESIGNED IT. KUHMO IS THE ONLY TIRE MFG THAT SUPPLIES THIS TIRE SIZE. IN MAY OF 2011 I HAD ONE TIRE FAILURE AND IT TOOK APPROX. 12 DAYS TO LOCATE A TIRE DUE TO A NATIONAL BACK ORDER. THAT RESULTED IN ME RIDING ON MY SMALLER SPARE TIRE DURING THAT TIME. ON JULY 4TH 2011 WE HAD ANOTHER TIRE FAIL AND AGAIN THERE IS NO REPLACEMENT AVAILABLE DUE TO THE CUSTOM TIRE SIZE AND KUHMO'S NATIONAL TIRE SHORTAGE. I AM NOW RIDING ON MY SPARE AGAIN WHILE MY MECHANIC SEARCHES NATIONALLY FOR A TIRE. MY RECOMMENDATION IS THAT YOU ALERT DODGE/CHRYSLER OF THIS ISSUE AND HAVE THEM FIND AN ALTERNATE SUPPLIER OF THIS CUSTOM TIRE SIZE. *TR

I AM EXPERIENCING PREMATURE BRAKE WEAR WITH MY 2010 DODGE JOURNEY THAT WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW. THIS WILL BE THE SECOND TIME I HAVE HAD TO HAVE THE BREAKS REPLACED DUE TO FAULTY BREAK REPLACEMENT, HOWEVER, THEY ARE WANTING ME TO PAY A DEDUCTIBLE WHICH I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR FAULTY BRAKE WORK. *TR
