2009 dodge journey tires and tire censors boise,id larry miller dodge. Have had issues with tires air pressure and censor every month since buying 2009 dodge journey in 2008. I have only taken my journey to the dealer ship for all repairs on my journey every time I take my vehicle I tell them I am still having the same issue with my tires. They deflate often and the censor turns on after I leave anywhere between 48hrs up to 2 weeks. Like I said this has been a consistent issue since I drove my car off the lot in 2008 and still hasn't been resolved and now they are telling me I should just buy new tires. I understand that it is almost time for new tires but I feel that censor and deflation in my tires should have been resolved a long time ago. Because of this issue I have spent many hrs in the repair waiting for them to try to figure out the issue 3-5 hrs each time.because they haven't been able to resolve I will never buy a dodge vehicle again. Dodge has given me a very bad experience with my first car. I wish that I had went with the original vehicle that I wanted to purchase a subaru outback.

I drive the dodge journey for 13 months from new. The car has now 32,500 miles on it. I had to replace brakes - pads and rotors three times. Recently I found out that the rear tires are also worn - the lower part of the inside wall on both tires is worn not evenly? The local dealer, supported by dodge officials, claims this is normal wear and tear for this car, shirking the manufacturer's responsibility.
Front brake pads and rotors needed to be replaced at 12k miles on our 2009 dodge journey. Now we just had all brake lights go out. We took it to our mechanic and they found only 1 bulb bad. After the 1 bulb was replaced, all lights started working again. Why would they put these bulbs in series rather than parallel so that only the bad bulb would be out rather than all? That is a big a safety problem in my opinion. Also one tire now has a bulge in the sidewall and needs replaced. The vehicle has about 15k miles.
Brakes, tires and electrical system. I have to get new tires already and I only have 36,000 miles on the car. I have had to change the brakes front and back 3 times already. I am about to have to change the rotor on all 4 wheels. When I turn the windshield wipers off the head lights flash off and back on. Then while driving the dash lights will flash off and on again.

On monday, march 8, 2010, my wife, two year old daughter and I suffered a third episode of the following dangerous malfunctions: steering, transmission and drivetrain issues that, without notice, result in an unbearable screeching and grinding noise emanating from underneath the vehicle at speeds between 15 and 30 MPH, a pause and hesitation in acceleration between speeds of 15 and 30 m.p.h. That causes the car to jump forward, the immediate loss of accurate steering and a burning smell throughout the car interior we suffered the most recent episode, without notice, while driving through rush hour traffic at 7:45 a.m. We waited two hours for a tow truck to arrive. Fortunately, my wife and daughter were only shaken, but not injured. In the last three months, we have had an unsafe rear tire replaced, sunroof parts replaced for constant leaking, a new electronic module installed to prevent the episodes of the entire electronic system malfunctioning causing the loss of car function and door locks and multiple power steering parts replaced.
