Is this pretty easy to do? I seen else where people had problems getting the piston to work properly afterwards causeing over heating issues on the brake. If the dealer doesnt cover it I will end up doing it myself. I just need 4 months then I can finally rid myself of this lemon. Has anyones esp and power outlet button went out yet. For some reason that doesnt work anymore

Never got it but since I see this I will call. I had the fronts replaced didnt know they were doing the backs as well. Thanks

I was wondering if anyone here had to replace their back brakes on their Journey yet? I have 30,000 miles and the pads are completely gone. I tried changing them but I cant get the driver side rear piston to colapse so I can fit the caliper over the new pads. Any suggestions would be nice. I tried loosening the bleeder screw and compressing the piston and this thing will not budge. When I apply the brake it grabs so I dont think it is seized.

Ill keep that in mind next time it happens.

Dont get me wrong had this stuff never happened, I would say this is a great car. I loved it when we first got it. These issues are expected on a new build, Im just upset Chrysler doesnt want to do anything to fix the problems. I seen the new one due out, I hear they replaced the steering and more importantly the engine.

I was able to be one of the last to lease a vehicle right before they stopped them. The last day. I traded my Dodge truck in for this pretty cool looking crossover they had. What a mistake to buy a newly built car. At about 6,000 the alarm just randomly would start going off, the fix unlock manually with key, then start the car. This is really fun at 3 in the morning when you hear a horn going off that wakes you up to find out it is yours. At first I was concerned maybe someone had broken into my garage and tried stealing such a gem. NOPE!!! So after multiple trips to the dealer for this still no fix. Can't seem to duplicate the issue!! DUH 18,000 miles I needed new brake pads, rotors were warped, and the tires were worn. Called Chrysler and after a few calls they agreed to pay for the everything all I had to pay for was $50 for the work.(except for the tires). Chrysler told the dealer to replace with all new parts, but got away with just turning the rotors. Two weeks later after new tires were put on they respun the rotors because they were still bad. Well in the 2 weeks the airbag light came on and there is a weird noise coming from the engine along with the smell of rubber burning. They turned off the airbag light, but I guess the pulley screw for the water pump was coming out and thats where the smell was coming from. So after a few days they fixed the issue. Nothing to major since the usual radio not working sometimes and the alarm still randomly goes crazy. Im thinking of having it towed to the dealer next time it happens. There is also some clunking going on in the steering when you turn and when you go over bumps. Oh the back break pads need replaced!! At 25,000 the BACK breaks are bad. When you have tires put on, if you have the chrome clad rims you will need to have someone with the proper balancing machine to balance them, because of the plastic on the rim they cant get it to fit properly to have the tire balanced. I was also told the tires are only good for about 21,000 thats the 19's. The tire installer was showing me on the balancer, he would have it balanced then put it on the machine again and it would be off. It has to have the 5 studs to hold the wheel on. On more thing does anyone get this loud squeek from the back right tire area sometimes when driving? It almost sounds like a whistle when I drive.
