2010 Dodge Journey AWD brakes problems

Filed May 20, 2019 · Brakes · 56,000 miles · MO

I bought this vehicle brand new since I put at least 3-4 sets of brakes on this car and 2 sets of rotors a year since owning it. I have 56000 miles on my car I know that brakes and rotors are not covered under warranty it's regular maintenance on a vehicle. But this is over kill. My car is currently in the shop I believe that my anti lock brake pump assembly is out. I've replace the master cylinder and 2 brake lines I still have no pedal to speak of. The first month I owned this car the brakes and rotors were replaced by barreth in washington, mo

When driving, both at low neighborhood speed and at highway speed, the engine stalls, lights and radio stay on, steering wheel locks and brakes lock. It has happened several times intermittently and unpredictably. I didn't become scared until it happened when I was on a highway going 60mph and almost wrecked trying to safely exit (date indicated below). The car is now in my driveway because I am afraid to drive it. A mechanic said it was related to a previously-issued safety recall but when I called a dealer to make an appointment for the recall repair, I was told that my vehicle was not included in the recall, despite the glaring similarity. I have not received a recall notice and, as stated, dealerships will not repair my vehicle for free.

This car is six years old and I have now had to replace brake pads and rotors three times. Each time the technician indicates that there is minimal brake pad left and the rotors are rusted, pitted and overheated. They recommend in each case that the the repair is a safety concern. What I have read online from other journey owners is that the brakes are woefully inadequate for the vehicle size and weight. It is time that chrysler repair this once and for all.

The 2010 dodge journey we own has just been one problem after another. We did not purchase it new, we purchased it pre-owned from the dodge dealership. But we have paid to keep it up and stay ahead of most problems but there are several that are reoccuring and nothing seems to make them any better. The lights on the dashboard will light up and when you take it in to be looked at there is nothing that can be found wrong with it. The brakes seem to go bad pretty frequently. We are constantly getting the light that tells us that the ESC is disabled and when you take it to get someone to look at it they cannot find what is causing this. It just seems like we are putting more and more money into the 2010 dodge journey we own. Constantly paying a mechanic to look at it and fix the most recent issue that arises from the warning lights on the dash. We cannot trade it in because we still owe on the vehicle and we cannot afford an increase in the payment. Dodge does not admit that it is a defective model or that there is anything that is causing this. I am hoping that someone will look into the 2010 dodge journey and all it's problems and give some sort of relief to those of us who purchaced one of these problem cars without knowing that the brakes would constantly go bad and there will be a little "demon" in the car that flips the lights on and off on the dashboard whenever he feels like it. I know I cannot be the only person that has had nothing but trouble with a 2010 dodge journey. But maybe dodge can take this demon infested car back and give my family something that we feel a little bit more safe in.

I purchased a new dodge journey in april 2010. I have had the rotors replaced in may 2010, april 2011, june 2012, july 2013, and the rotors need replace once again. This is five times in four years! The car has about 43,000. I paid last april 2014 to have the rear brakes replaced and the back rotors re-surfaced. Plus I replaced the tires which were $1200.00. The worst problem that I am having is the total loss of electronics when we hit a bump. The lights, heat/air, all electronics go out. My fear is that when this happens the air bags don't work either. There is something wrong with how the key fob fits into the dash board. I'm not able to trade vehicles at this point. I feel like this car is going to make me go bankrupt. I fear that the brakes/rotors will fail or the electronic issue will cause me to wreck with my little girl in the car. What can I do?

I am a mechanic and my mother owns a 2010 dodge journey it has 60000 on the odometer and I have replaced the rotors/pads 3 times with napa premium grade not the junk factory my self. The front once and the back all 3 times. The stealership has done them 2 times on all four corners. No recall the dealership said everyone they sold has come in with the same issue (mostly the rear multiple times). Not even a service bulletin... How is this possible? How may times is this going to happen? Consumer protection needs to get on this and file a class action lawsuit. Also same issue trying to find tires for this car was a real problem. She paid the same amount for the tires as I did for 33" m/ts for my expedition.

I am currently the owner 2010 dodge journey awd. I have had to replace tires, brakes, and rotors numerous times; noise from driver door, windows rolling down and doors unlocking by themselves, hard shifting in automatic transmission,car pulsates/steering wheel vibrates violently when braking starting at about 40 MPH. I have frequent problems with the locks and alarm when temperatures drop below 40 f, car does not always lock or unlock using either key fob or by pressing button in car, must press it multiple times. Lock mechanism could be heard attempting to turn, lock next to window appeared to be jumping slightly. I have been having problems with my car not starting for several months. I would have to take the key fob out, turn it around, and insert it again. It shut off on me as I was driving 65mph on a main highway.. Almost causing a crash. Ran a diagnostic and it came back that my module was bad, I checked online and it seems there was a recall on this module but only for the "ring." I contacted the chrysler and after two weeks of going back and forth with them and the dealership, they informed me they would not help due to high mileage and out of warranty. We are told only dealerships can get this part, install it, and program it. My google searches on this issue shows way too many results for this not to be a serious issue that chrysler refuses to take responsibility for. A recall needs to be done on this part as well with all of the 2010 dodge journey's not just the ones from a certain plant. Once I turn off the car, you can hear the computer shutting itself down and making all kinds of noise, then it appears to reboot, the radio will turn on and stays on for five min. The automatic starter starts on it's own once you shake the key fob.. No need to press the button anymore?! Kuhmo tires on this vehicle have been replaced twice in one year.

Purchased vehicle new from dealer. The airbag light stays on when outside temp gets below 40 degrees. After owning the journey for a year, we have had to replace tires, brakes, and rotors after only 10,000 miles; replace a faulty battery and complained to dealer about the air noise at driver door, windows rolling down and doors unlocking by themselves, hard shifting in automatic transmission all within the odometer reading 15,000 miles.
