I just got an oil change and tire rotation at the dealer. They told me that I have about 3,000 miles before the pads are worn and want me back before then to replace the pads before they damage the rotors. My Journel has 17,800 miles on it and this seems to be a bit early for brake wear, especially considering my last 2 vehicles went over 45K before getting close to needing new pads.
The dealer said that I'm probably one of the 1st local journey owners to have this high mileage, so they don't know if this is premature or not. So, How long are pads lasting for everybody else?
Same deal too !
Yes, Brake wear is ridiculous on the Journey, front went in 22000kms - metal to metal ! - so pads and rotors in 11 months from brand new- Dealer tells me the rears are gone too and will need pads in 2000kms or else the rotors will need replacement as well. They say the journey is "heavy" and so this is "normal" ! what a joke - I know of heavier vehicles that give at least 45 - 50K before pads are needed. Bad start for Dodge
my own last 2 vehicles gave me 50K - and they were heavy vehicles too ! -
