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.

MY wife loved the Dodge Journey. She has hip problems and it was easy for her to get in and out of.However, we have had it into the dealership several times and I am bringing it in tomorrow again.Loud noise when turning left. This was resolved by dealership. Sometimes when backing up the transmission slams into gear. The first time I heard It I thought we were rear ended. Dealership cannot find the problem, because it only does it on occassion.When going down the road and exceeding 55 mph. front end shakes. Does not do all the time so it is hard for dealership to correct. We are taking in tomorrow for a recall on brake sensor. Not a problem now but it could be. Gas mileage is poor also.

Needed to replace a tire and it was the biggest pain to find one. Needed all new tires after 2 years @ $250 apiece. The thing that squirts windshield wiper fluid out broke - twice. The stick that holds up the hood broke off right away. Both visor mirror covers broke off. Brakes needed replacing. All within 2 years! Crummiest new car experience ever.

3.5 liter in sxt has enough go for money, good ride on lot of roads, has a lot of standard equipment for being one of the base models. handles pretty good in snow for fwd. its one of the better cars dodge has done in awhile.

I bought my Journey in 02/09. Have loved it since then. I love the minivan features in a car. We've been on three long distance (1000+ miles) trips and it has worked great. As with any SUV the mpg could be better. We have had a problem with muffler noise which was fixed and the brakes have been changed at 19,000 miles (dang!). Also, in the NM heat I have had some issues with compartment doors opening/closing. I really do love this car. It's great for the family. We have the Video Entertainment Package which is perfect for travel. My husband will watch movies on the front screen while I run into the store which keeps him content. Would buy it again in a heartbeat!
