2009 DODGE JOURNEY Complaints

COMPLETE BREAK DOWN OF BRAKE COMPONENTS FOR 2009 DODGE JOURNEY. BRAKES, ROTORS, AND CALIPERS ALL REPLACED AT 14,600 MILES DUE TO DEFECTS. NOT COVERED BY FULL WARRANTY. *TR

AFTER RAINING THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR DOOR FILLS WITH WATER. WHEN I CLOSE THE DOOR I HEAR THE WATER SWISH AROUND INSIDE AND THEN I SEE IT DRAIN OUT OF THE BOTTOM OF THE DOOR. THIS IS THE 4TH TIME THAT I HAVE SEEN THIS HAPPEN IN AS MANY WEEKS. MY WIFE HAS ALSO NOTICED THE EXACT SAME THING BEFORE I DID. THE DOOR FILLS WITH WATER PRETTY MUCH EVERY TIME IT RAINS. IT SEEMS LIKE IT IS AT LEAST FILLING UP WITH SEVERAL CUPS OF WATER. I AM CONCERNED WITH MOLD GETTING INTO THE CAR AND ALSO THE PROBABILITY OF AN ELECTRICAL SHORT. THIS HAPPENS EVERY SINGLE TIME IT RAINS. IN ADDITION TO THE DOOR FILLING WITH WATER THE LOW TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON AND THE REAR LEFT TIRE WILL SLOWLY DEFLATE. I HAVE ALREADY HAD THE TIRE REPLACED ONCE AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN IN A MATTER OF WEEKS. OUTSIDE AIR TEMPERATURE SEEMS TO HAVE NO EFFECT ON WHEN THIS OCCURS BECAUSE IT HAPPEN DURING THE COLD AND WHEN IT IS HOT OUT. USUALLY THE LOW TIRE PRESSURE WARNING WILL COME ON WITHIN ONE WEEK OF FILLING THE TIRE. *TR

I HAVE AN 09 DODGE JOURNEY THAT HAS ISSUES FROM DAY ONE. 1ST THE A/C BROKE. THEY FIXED IT THAT WAS ONLY 2 WEEKS AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR. THE CAR WAS NEW AND BOUGHT IN 01/2009. AT A LITTLE OVER 12000 MILES MY BRAKES WERE GONE. I HAD TO ROTATE ROTORS AND PUT NEW BRAKE PADS. EVER SINCE THEN I HAVE HAD TO CHANGE THE PADS (2 TIMES THE ROTORS COMPLETELY ALL OTHER TIMES ROTATING THE ROTORS)5 MORE TIMES. I HAVE CALLED CHRYSLER AND ALL THEY HAVE DONE IS MADE THE WARRANTY TO 36000 MILES BUT THAT IS NOT FIXING A PROBLEM. I HAVE GOTTEN ONLINE AND RESEARCHED. I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING THIS PROBLEM . THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF OTHERS AND THERE ARE ACTUALLY LAWSUITS OUT THERE FOR THIS REASON. I WAS IN A FENDERBENDER IN DEC. 2010 AND I CAN NOT HELP BUT WONDER IF I WOULD HAVE HAD BRAKES THERE WERE 100% IF IT COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED.WITH ALL THE COMPLAINTS I AM WONDERING HOW MUCH IT WILL TAKE FOR A RECALL OR SOMETHING TO BE PUT INTO EFFECT. I HOPE IT DOES NOT TAKE PEOPLE GETTING KILLED FOR THIS TO BE CORRECTED. *TR

I HAVE A 2009 DODGE JOURNEY AND THE TIRE (WHILE NOT IN MOTION) TIRE WENT FLAT. FOUND OUT THE SENSOR FOR THE AIR PRESSURE IS THE ISSUE. THIS IS A HAZARDOUS TO EVERY OWNER. WHAT IF THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPEN W/ OTHER PASSENGERS IN THE VEHICLE ESPECIALLY MY BABY. THIS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A HORRIFIC ACCIDENT. THIS VEHICLE SHOULD BE RECALL W/ SOME OTHER ALTERNATIVE MEASURES FOR THE SENSORS. I UNDERSTAND ALL FOUR TIRES HAVE SENSORS AND THIS CAN HAPPEN AT ANY TIME. *TR

BOUGHT 2009 JOURNEY WITH 47,000 KM'S ON IT ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO FROM DODGE DEALER. HAVE HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED TWICE NOW BECAUSE IT WOULD NOT START. DEALER SEEMS TO BE IN THE DARK ABOUT HOW TO FIX PROBLEM. POOR, POOR, EXAMPLE OF CUSTOMER SERVICE AND CAR QUALITY. *TR

INAUG 2010, I HAD THE BRAKE PADS CHANGED BARELY A YEAR AFTER BUYING THE CAR. THE NEXT MONTH I HAD TO HAVE NEW ROTORS BECAUSE THEY WARPED. A MONTH LATER THEY WERE WARPED AGAIN, COULDN'T GET THEM CHANGED UNTIL MAR 7, 2011. EXACTLY 30 DAYS LATER THEY WERE WARPED AGAIN. JUST HAD THEM AND THE BRAKE PADS REPLACED ON MAY 8, 2011. *TR

ALL FOUR BRAKES ON MY 2009 DODGE JOURNEY HAVE FAILED AFTER ONLY 25,000 MILES. BRAKE PARTS HAVE BROKEN AND THE FRONT TWO BRAKES ARE CONSIDERED UNDER WARRANTY BUT THE BACK BRAKES ARE NOT UNDER WARRANTY. THE DEALERSHIP STATED THE CAR WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE UNTIL THE BRAKES WERE FIXED. DONAVAN DODGE IN SIERRA VISTA ARIZONA HAS REPAIRED THE BRAKES BUT THE DEALERSHIP IS NOT TAKING ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR FAILURE OF EQUIPMENT FOR THE BACK BRAKES. THIS TYPE OF FAILURE PLACED ME AND ANY PASSENGERS IN DANGER. I REQUESTED THE BROKEN PARTS FOR THE BRAKE EQUIPMENT THAT WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. THEY HAVE TO SEND THE ONES UNDER WARRANTY BACK TO THE DODGE CORPORATION. *TR
