2010 DODGE JOURNEY Complaints

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. *TT

2010 DODGE JOURNEY. CONSUMER STATES PROBLEM WITH BRAKES AND ROTORS *TGW 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. *JB

WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS 65-75 MPH AND HAVING TO BRAKE HARD THE STEERING WHEEL AND BRAKE PEDALS BEGIN TO VIBRATE VIOLENTLY AND THE BRAKES FEEL AS THOUGH THEY ARE NOT WORKING CORRECTLY? 2010 DODGE JOURNEY SXT WITH CURRENTLY 24K MILES. *TR

WENT ON A VACATION TO YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK. ALL THE WAY OUT HAD INTERMITENT PULSATION OF THE STEERING WHEEL WHEN BRAKING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. FRONT DISCS AND BRAKE PADS WERE REPLACED BY DEALER AT 11921 MILES BECAUSE OF WARPED ROTORS.AFTER MANY MORE COMPLAINTS OF PULSATIONS WHEN BRAKING THE DEALER REPLACED THE REAR DISCS AND PADS AT 23184 MILES, ACCOUNT WARPED ROTORS. SO AFTER 6 1/2 MONTHS ( OCTOBER 10 ) THE FRONT ROTORS WERE WARPED AND 10 MONTHS LATER ( AUGUST 8, 2011 ) THE REAR ROTORS WERE WARPED. THE PULSATION HAS HAPPENED AGAIN ALREADY AND IT IS ONLY AUGUST 22 2011.EACH TIME I TAKE THE CAR IN FOR THE PULSATION PROBLEM THE DEALER SAYS HE TAKES IT FOR A RIDE AND FINDS NO PROBLEM. EACH TIME IT HAS HAD THE SAME MILEAGE IN AS THE MILEAGE OUT. I DON'T THINK THE DEALER EVEN TOOK IT FOR A RIDE BECAUSE HE ALREADY KNEW WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS.

I PURCHASED MY 2010 DODGE JOURNEY SXT IN OCT 2010. THE VEHICLE HAS DIED (ELECTRICAL PROBLEM) NUMEROUS TIMES WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT SPEEDS UP TO 70; HOWEVER, AS LOW AS 10. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE IN FOUR TIMES AND THEY HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO REPLICATE THE ERROR AND HAVE SENT ME HOME WITH THE VEHICLE. IT HAPPENED AGAIN ON FRIDAY AND I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC AND NARROWLY ESCAPED AN ACCIDENT. I WAS ABLE TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL AND COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. MY CHILDREN WERE IN THE VEHICLE AND I WORRY THAT WE ALL WILL BE KILLED. THIS TIME ALL OF THE LIGHTS CAME ON THE DASH AND THE VEHICLE STOPPED. PREVIOUSLY THERE WAS NO FOREWARNING. I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN 02/11, 03/11, 04/11 AND 06/11 AND THE ISSUES HAVE NOT BEEN RESOLVED. I HAVE READ SEVERAL BLOGS REPORTING THE SAME PROBLEM AND NO RECOURSE HAS BEEN DONE TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. I'M WORRIED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY AND OTHERS. *TR
