Bought may 2008! Squealing brakes jan 2009! Replaced of all brakes April 2009. Sept 2009 squealing starts again. Dec 2009 was told front brakes need to be replaced. Feb 2010 front brakes replaced! April 2010 squealing come back. June 2010 back brakes replaced and caliper torn and replaced as well! My Camry is 5 yrs old, my husband's truck that we traded in for this journey was 4 yrs old! Never was or has a brake been replaced! Car is 2 yrs old! More to story; but the point is: please call Dodge and file a complaint! I already have. I also have put in a complaint at www.nhtsa.gov and www.bbb.com please also do this! Takes a minute but well worth my family's safety!

Plan on getting new brakes every 15,000 miles. 2 brake jobs in 2 years and now it's in the shop for electrical system failure. The AC, turn signals and radio don't come on. Getting everything fixed is a problem.

Brake Recall Please!

I have had my car for just 2 years, I had to replace the front brakes in January again like everyone else was told I was riding the brakes, then yesterday got to pay another $300.00 for the rear brake pads. Have never had brake pads wear out before at least 40k-60k miles!! There is a problem and they are waiting for something drastic to happen? Do not buy one unless you are excited to spend an extra $600 every year or two on brakes! Also the interior stains horribly no matter how careful you are. Even water stains. Look elsewhere. If it were worth anything I would trade in.

Never by a dodge again!

Loved the looks of this car. had never owned a dodge, and will never again. when first bought the car, the steering pulled to the right and steering wheel vibrated. Had it to dealership 6 times! It got a little better, not much. Then when summer came, the A/C started stinking. I thought the drain tube might be stopped up and took it in expecting an easy fix. Had it to dealership 4 times and they said they couldn't duplicate the problem. Called Daimler and was told to not run my A/C on recirc. Are you kidding! Took the car to another Dodge dealer and was left standing on the parking lot by the service manager! He said "don't know what to tell you" and walked away! Don't buy a journey!

Never Again

Very poor vehicle. Brakes/rotors gone at 12k (didnt use Dodge brakes to replace-now rotors warped due to axle problem), front axle repl at 17500, steering wheel moves left to right when braking hard.
