My daughter wants to purchase a 2011 Journey with AWD and the fancy stuff. I'm retired from Chrysler (Wood Model Maker) and have been reading the reviews/complaints about the electrical problems on the Journey. I am steering her away from this vehicle due to all the problems with the battery issues. Has anyone fixed this battery draining issue? Please let me know. I am a loyal Chrysler man but my daughter lives alone and I do not want her to try and start her car here in Michigan and the battery dies? I would rather she looks at the Chevy lineup with their SUV's. They have no problem like the 2011 Journey has. Thanks, Ron

I just drove my 2010 Journey SXT home. It has 74 miles on it. At 50 miles, driving from the dealership, while applying the brakes gently on the expressway, the front end starting shaking and the steering wheel started shaking back and forth. I could not believe it. It wasn't too bad but when my dear wife got home (I bought this for her) she took me out to dinner down the road about 12 miles. While applying the brakes two and three times each, the steering wheel was shaking and you could feel the vibration coming through the floorboard. It was terrible and it keeps getting worse. So I Googled 2010 Dodge Journey Brake Problems and WOW. HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS. I only wish I had read these before I purchased the vehicle. I CALLED THE DEALER AND AM RETURNING THE VEHICLE TOMORROW, TUESDAY June 22, 2010 and getting our 2008 Jeep Commander back. This is the absolute worse vehicle I have ever owned. I have purchased over 20 vehicles in my lifetime and am a retiree from Chrysler. I feel very ashamed that Chrysler Engineering would let this Vendor, who ever they are sell them these junk Rotors and brake pads. The front end of this vehicle is Junk and I believe people should seriously consider not buying this. The Vendor should be sued. I don't care who calls , this is exactly what happened.
