Vehicle is 2010 dodge journey. It only has about 23,000 miles on it. When brake, the steering wheel shakes very badly. I'm afraid that the brakes are going to go out. It occurs every time I brake. The vehicle will be going into the shop. This should not happen on such a new vehicle.

I have never heard of a car needing this done in it 1st 10,000 miles once again I see many complaints out there.
Just made a left hand turn from a traffic light . A car approximately 100ft. Down the road was waiting to make a left hand turn into a driveway. When I put my foot onto the brake pedal it went all the way down to the floor. My vehicle could not stop and I ended up running right into the other vehicle. I did not know what happened. The vehicle was taken in for an inspection and nothing could be found wrong with the braking system.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 dodge journey. The contact stated that the brakes were undersized and were causing an abnormal increase in stopping distance when driving at least 35 MPH. The vehicle was taken to the dealer but the dealer was unable to repair the failure. The contact traded the vehicle after receiving it back from the dealer. The failure mileage was 10,000.

I bought a dodge journey a few weeks ago. I live in the mountains, and the first time I went to drive down the hill I had problems with the breaks. They would shake the steering wheel horribly, and I would feel a grinding on the pedal. I would have to pump the brakes just to gain control of the car. I took it back to the dealer I bought it from, they told me it is just the way the car is made. I felt that wasn't acceptable, so they replaced the break pads with a more expensive pad. The shaking is better, but I can still feel the grinding and have a feeling this won't last very long. Dodge needs to replace the entire brake system, I feel like the breaks are an essential part of a car for safety and I don't feel safe driving my family in this car. It needs to be fixed before people start getting hurt.
Dec. 29th 2010. I have a 2010 dodge journey r/t. It is not even a year old. It has taken me several times to turn the car on each time I get in the car. It stalls while I am driving. The lights on the dash and nav flash on and off for some crazy reason. The alignment is and has always been off. The car moves toward the right. The steering wheel shakes when I slow down. Now the brakes are making noises. I have taken it to two dealerships to be serviced numerous times and they can not find anything wrong. The dealership where I bought it has left my car on empty(the gas) after it has been serviced. The dealership contacted dodge(that is what the service manager said) over a month ago, and stated that they were waiting on a part to put a device on my car to figure out what is wrong. I have called twice and the service department & they will not call me back. So I guess I have to drive around a car that is dangerous and dodge is doing nothing. I do not accept this!!!! Something needs to be done. If the service dept. Won't call me what am I to do. And the warning screen for the nav. Doesn't come up when I turn the car on. So I guess dodge can risk that liability too. I guess it will take someone being injured to get their attention.
Tl*the contact owns a 2010 dodge journey. While driving 45 MPH downhill with the brakes applied, the contact noticed a vibration in the steering wheel and a grinding noise from the brakes. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer where the rotors were turned under warranty. The failure continued. The contact called the dealer who stated that the vehicle could be repaired again at his expense. The contact called the manufacturer who advised him to speak with the dealer. The failure mileage was approximately 9,300.
