Today driving down the road with buildings on both sides I heard squealing echoing. As I came to a stop in my garage and shut the door I smelled the most awful burning smell. My fiancee say it was metal burning, and I felt by my tires and they were hot. My SUV has 23000 and they are mostly highway miles. I did some research on here and found it is a common problem and should not be happening already on my car. I have also had problem with my touch screen radio having a mind of its own. It switches radio stations on its own. It has switched from cd to radio to aux on its own. It has maxed out on volume on its own and it shut completely off on its own. I think there is a short but the dealership can't find anything wrong with it.

When applying the brakes and coming to a stop there was an awful grinding noise and it felt as if the vehicle might be jerking or not stopping correctly. I brought it to the dealership first thing on monday and after their inspection was told that the rear brake pads are defective. There was some surface rust on the pads and rotors, but I was told that is normal and that these parts accumulate rust overnight but it normally grinds off when driving the next day. The dealership did not have the rear brake pads or rotors in stock, so they are on order. I was told the vehicle would be ok to drive until the parts come in and they instructed me that I had to come pick the journey back up and could not leave it at the dealership. With the grinding noise, vehicle jerking and new knowledge of the "defective" parts, I am not comfortable driving this vehicle right now.

I bought my new dodge journey on the 16th of july 2012. I live approximately 40 miles from the dealership were I bought my journey. Most of my driving is highway so I didn't notice the issue right away. The first time I came to a stop with my new vehicle the brakes shuddered like they were grabbing then letting go and grabbing again, really fast. I returned to the dealership 4 different times for this and a transmission shudder which they say chrysler has no fix. Is this something you have seen from journeys before? Thanks for your time.

Brakes on the 2012 dodge journey squeaked and appeared to not want to stop properly. I took vehicle in for service and was told that it was break dust that caused the problem. After the squeaking got worst, I took it back in was told that they replaced my brake pads. Here I am 2 months later with the same problem. In addition, the vehicle has a slow take off. When trying to obtain speed the vehicle stalls before speed is picked up. Now, I'm having problems with the passenger seatbelt not giving a light signal nor alarming signal that seatbelt is not on.
