Nice car, but the brakes are terrible

My wife and I really like this car for all of the extra features and the nice ride. We've had some problems though. The first issue was a clunking sound when the car made a sharp turn. Turns out the engine mount wasn't secured at the factory. Also, we had to replace the brakes at 12000 miles and Dodge wouldn't cover it. Set back over $160 for a repair that shouldn't be made for another 40,000 miles. Very upset about that, but the other features are great.

6 speed trans, "jerky," plastic door handle scratches easy. no heat or air outlet to second row seats. found out that hard ride cause by cheap Chinese tires. .cheap brake pads ,wheels covered with black soot after cleaning two days later. Only thing good is, I bought it for 19,200 out the door including a tire and wheel warranty I should be able to sell it in another year and break even.

i have my journey since april 2008. at 18000 a need to change front brake and rotar. at 38000, i need the change the rear brake and rotar. and now, at 42000 the front brake and rotar and too use again. i'm sorry i'm french. my english is not very good but, i want to say it's not normal than i have to change two time the front brake and rotar and chrysler don't want to pay for second time. it is normal to change front brake and rotar 2 times at 42000 KM ?i don't think so. i love my car but if dodge have big trouble with 19" tires vs break and retors, i don't want to pay 500 $ for that.

Decent car but cant get fixed. Dealer says can't get parts due to Dodge bankruptcy. Car in shop almost 3 weeks. Won't give loaner. Contacted Dodge and they will get back to me in 3 or 4 days. This is my first Dodge and it will be my last.

year and a half in and I've already had to replace the pads and rotors...absolutely not acceptable but the warranty doesn't cover it. Do not purchase this vehicle as it will cost you way more in the long run than a well built import...sorry to say it but it's true
