I am writing you in reference of the purchased of my brand new vehicle, a 2009-dodge journey se on june 08, 2008. This car beginning to have problems after it 6,000 miles having a numerous repairs since them. I submitted the car to the lemon law before the warranty time expired. Chrysler group denied it arguing that my car is running under the company expectation. Currently the car still has suspension problem and noises(such as brake noises, turn wheel noises and other). The car bouncing after 50 mp miles and every time that bumps on the street or on the highway the vehicle makes strongly bounces. The company states the bouncing and the noises are part of the cars manufactured. In addition to all the reported repairs, the seats get easily stain with any type of liquid and the black color of the interior is fading, I mean the black is becoming gray. I will submit any document that could support my claim if is required.

The contact stated that the vehicle was taken to the dealer for brake repairs and an alignment when he was informed that the vehicle did not have a stabilizer bar installed. The dealer advised that because the component was not covered under warranty, he would be liable for the installation of a stabilizer bar.

Tl*the contact owns a 2009 dodge journey. While the contact was driving approximately 65 MPH, the vehicle began to vibrate excessively. The vehicle was taken to the dealer on five different occasions for the similar failure. The front suspension ball and seat was replaced. In addition, the front brake pads and rotors were replaced at a different time. The failure continued to occur. The failure mileage was 7,000.
Brake pads failed prematurely at 19529 miles (20% remaining). Rotors needed machined. Brakes should have a minimum wear warranty requirement. Also the front struts, tie rods and waterpump needed replaced.
I have a 2009 dodge journey. I have not had any injuries associated with the issue, however feel as though there is the possibility for injury to occur. The car is 2 years old and already the rotors have been diagnosed as being warped 3 times, one of which the car had only been driven 6000 miles since the warpage and then warped again. Completely unacceptable. There is also a problem with the suspension. Due to the fact that all this is occurring, I feel as though this could lead to major safety issues.
