My opinion, my experience. If anybody is over reacting its you. You own stock in Dodge or something? LOL If they would resolve the issue there wouldn't be one. When something is defective (brakes and rotors going every year is not normal) they should own the issue and fix it. (and not at my expense) There's no overreaction on my part. The provide a crappy service and a crappy product they don't get my business. It's as simple as that.

@Lobitz68 Nobody expects their new vehicle to be PERFECT and NOTHING to go wrong with them. But when there is a fault with the vehicle you expect them to resolve it. Regardless of if they are Toyota, Honda, Ford, Dodge or any other brand.

3rd set of rear brakes going on my 2012 dodge journey tomorrow. Failed the MVI again. Just had the rear brakes and rotors replaced in Sept 2013. Seems to be an issue with the brakes on these cars.

Well looks like my 2012 Dodge Journey is going on 3rd set of rear brakes. I've been complaining about the back brakes smoking at times, had it in to the dealer in July asking them to check it and they said it was fine. Had the rear brakes and rotors replaced for this reason in Sept 2013 and here I am getting the brakes done again. I've been complaining about the car being sluggish and hi rpm on hills. This is the reason they flashed the CPU in step one (my previous post) above. Thinking it has to do with the back brakes sticking. When I spoke to the dealer about the history and my complaints they tell me they have no record of me complaining. I will never buy a dodge again as long as I live. When my children are old enough I will discourage them from buying one as well. Not a happy camper right now.

Here is my update on my car. The alternator and the battery was replaced. Was told that alternator shorted out and took the battery with it. I've had the car back a few days and now its going back in again with a bad strut. Less than 50,000 km. So far I've had: Had the CPU flashed to resolve an issue with the engine. Had rear brakes and rotors replaced after the brakes, according to the mechanic, came out of their brackets damaging the rotors. I've had the alternator and battery replaced. (car died and had to be towed into the garage) and now the car is going in to have a strut replaced. (noticed knocking after getting the car back) Not having a whole lot of luck with the dodge journey. :-(

I'm currently having the exact same issue with my 2012 Dodge Journey RT. The first time it happened was the first year I had the car but I managed to get it into the dealer before it died. They recharged the battery and told me that the rust protection module was incorrectly installed which was draining the battery. Here we are now a year later and the car is completely dead. Will not start. The battery saver mode clicked in, then battery light came on, then the engine light, air bag light, park assist light, abs light, everything started coming on. Wipers would barley move to clean my windshield.. The car died and would not restart. Had it towed into the dealer this morning. Will update as I find out more from the dealer.
