jkeaton Posted November 13, 2014 Report Share Posted November 13, 2014 I'd take it back and have a service advisor go on a ride with you so you can show him/her the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lavenderlilly Posted March 27, 2015 Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 We have a 2013 DJ that currently has 17,000 kms on it. Aside from previous tows due to power steering pump hoses busting (In the cars defense, it WAS -29 out) So I ddn't hold that against the car as a screw up. What bothers me is today, out of absolutely nowhere, the car started making this seriously loud grinding, screeching, squealing noise from the passenger rear tire area. What was confusing was when I compressed the brakes, the noise faded. When the veh was at a stop, the noise came back. When the veh was rolling in neutral, the noise came back. So I got it to the driveway, and called my husband out. I told him to go test drive it. He got three houses up the road, turned around and said "call a tow truck". So the veh was towed over to the dealer. What is interesting about this is about 2 weeks ago, a rather steady "huummmmmm" came from the back end. It was when the veh was going at normal speeds. To be honest, I seriously figured it was wind blowing over the ice build up on the back end of the roof of the Journey. So, after hours of looking online, I am nervous to find out what the dealer says is wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bramfrank Posted March 27, 2015 Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 That noise is how the wear indicators work. jkeaton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobitz68 Posted March 27, 2015 Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 I don't think that a single car of mine has made a squeal that could be described like that from the wear indicators... Also, depending on miles, seems early for Brakes... Definitely a possibility though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FishL Posted September 21 Report Share Posted September 21 My daughter was in an accident this more at a Dodge dealership. She is fine (that’s what matters). She had to put her 2019 journey in reverse to back up a bit and her electrical shut down and her brakes didn’t work. She rolled backwards into 2 new vehicles at the dealership. I say again…… the brakes stopped working. We don’t feel this is her fault, the brakes were faulty! Anyone have any advice? there were 3 witnesses one being the service guy and he said this was not her fault. And it was all on camera but now the service manager is wanting our insurance to take the hit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2late4u Posted September 23 Report Share Posted September 23 unless the journey was in neutral, that would be the only way it could roll ,,if in rev and the engine off I would assume it wouldn't roll as well never heard of any problems with the brakes and the electrical shutting off larryl 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly it became known as the PARKING BRAKE, so people forgot how and what use this pedal is for. EXACTLY the kind of thing your daughter encountered! jkeaton and John/Horace 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John/Horace Posted September 25 Report Share Posted September 25 Vacuum booster is electric, if brakes lose boost it can feel like no brakes... when manual only. Might be codes stored from the stauling incident. Ask to retrieve codes on vehicle. Could be defective vacuum boost pump. But 5rebel9 point about the mechanically operated emergency brake might come into play. In a split second you would be expected to use it correctly. Even experienced drivers would have an issue with that. Tough situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
