I am having similar problems with our pos 2012 Journey that we bought brand new. I had to replace the rear brake pads at only 18,000km. At this time it became apparent that the rear calipers were sticking and probably the cause of the premature brake wear...and horrible fuel economy The local stealership said this was normal, and that it was not covered. They also never said anything about this extended brake warranty that I have been reading about online (http://www.autosafety.org/sites/default/files/imce_staff_uploads/Dodge%20Journey%20Brake%20Warranty%20Extension.pdf). Now the car has 37,000km, and again the rear pads are "metal on metal"!! And again, the stealership (a different one this time) has told us this is normal, and not covered. I still have not had to replace the front brakes btw, so this rear wear is definitely not "normal". I know there was a class action filed in the USA, but don't know what the result was, or if we would be covered here in Canada. Here is the link; http://www.courthousenews.com/2010/08/20/ChryslerCA.pdf I definitely think this is a design flaw! There needs to be a recall, plus compensation for anyone with these problems. ...and this is not to mention the other flaws of this lemon, such as the horrible seat fabric(stains by itself, and can't be cleaned), the horrible hard shifting and miss shifting transmission (4 speed), horrible fuel economy that is much worse than advertised, burnt window motors, hard time starting, etc, etc.
