I mean seriously, 6000kms?

My first set of brakes on my journey were replaced at 9000 miles! The rotars to! I have since had brakes and rotars placed on the car 5 times!! This is a 2010 car! The dealer was less then helpful and I am so frustrated! Being a women these people think I am stupid and will not work with me. I JUST HIRED A LAWYER!!! This car is a piece of crap and I am not spending another dime replaceing the brakes!! FOR A NOTE- I replaced the brakes on JUNE 17. This past weekend- they are once again grinding !! I am at a lose here!! SO SO frustrated! quote name='JTroy' date='14 August 2010 - 01:15 PM' timestamp='1281809732' post='9142'] Follow Up: I brought my Journey to the dealer and stated that I was not going to pay anything, but due to number of brakes issues I wanted them to inspect the brakes. (I had already inspected the front brakes and found the driver's side pads worn to the wear indicator, and the pax side had about 3/16" left.) When I picked the car up I was ready for a confrontation about paying for the inspection. To my pleasant surprise, they did not try to charge me and also gave me some helpful information... (besides the fact that the calipers and slide pins were working smoothly)... Apparently the electronic traction control system engages even when your foot is not on the brakes - you can supposedly feel this as a "lift" in the gas pedal while driving. Through this action one side can wear more then the other. I was also told the the common brake issues with Journeys have been traced to some bad batches of brake rotors that were not tempered properly, so they pretty much melted like butter on a hot griddle. When customers had them replaced, many of them got replaced with the same bad batch of rotors, so some customers got 2 or 3 sets of bad rotors in a row. Truth? Who knows, but my car has gone 25,500 miles and this is my first set of replacement pads (will install Monday). I also chose to replace the rotors. Got the NAPA Premiums, part number 48880683 for $46.30 each at my local NAPA. Also bought Wagner ThermoQuiet pads for $57.99 at Advance Auto Parts. right now they're having a rebate offer - $15 per pair, so my net cost is $42.99. New front brakes for $135.59 plus tax.

Join the club!! I got my first set at 9000 miles of both brakes and rotars!! Since i have replaced the brakes and rotars five time!!! It has to be a fault of Dodge! My dealer will not help me and refuses to say this is a defect of dodge!! I have been back and forth with this problem since two months after my purchase!!! quote name='mdewitt71' date='06 September 2010 - 02:25 PM' timestamp='1283801159' post='9402'] Just took my 2010 Journey in for the brakes squeeling and they said my front pads are worn pretty good and I aint got much life in the front rotors as well. 20,500 miles, guess the OE parts suck....... The Dodge dealership wanted $371 to fix it with OE parts, I wont make that mistake. Gonna start looking for aftermarket parts this week.

I bought the first dodge Journey Sold at the dealership in Oct 09. It is a 2010. I had my first set of brakes and Rotars at 9000 miles. Since then nothing but trouble. I have had my brakes and rotars changed 5 times. I most recently replaced my tires as well. What a hassle this car has been. The tires are 180 a piece and a special order!!!!!!!! This car is a piece of Crap! The dealer has been less then helpful each time telling me the brakes are my own fault! Im sorry but I know tons of people that have a car with over 100000 miles that have only changed their brakes ONCE!! It seems to me after all the postings i have found that DODGE is responsible for this faulty brake problem. I have spent almost 5000 on all the work! Nothing has been covered under my warranty! The worst of it all is I owe so much on the car its impossible to get rid of!! I need advise or help if anyone has any to suggest@!!
