Brake Grinding Noise problems of the 2010 Dodge Journey

I have been having trouble with my brakes which has been replaced but still grinding noise and squeaky and rotors has been turned. The vehicle has cut off many times, sitting at the traffic light and as getting ready to go and as coming to a stop. It has also cut off as turning and once I realized it I had to try to restart it. It has at times door not unlock and not lock. As putting on brake to come to a stop it shakes. The lights are getting worse they are flickering on and off. Outside light goes out and whole dash goes off while driving. I have to keep flicking the lights as I'm driving so they can come back on. The vehicle has many times not start up and just click when trying to start it.

Roy's Dodge in grand island, ne would not cover the cost of the premature break and rotor problem on my car. Vehicle begin having metal grinding noise from rear brake area and then front brake area. Vehicle shakes violently when applying brakes. Fix for the problems was new front and rear brakes and turn rotors. I had told them I was aware of the issues they have been having and all of the complaints, however it got me nowhere. I contacted Dodge and spoke with a very friendly lady who recognized this was a problem with this model and year. She contacted the dealership and asked them to work with my on taking care of some of the repair costs due to only having 33,700 miles on the vehicle and this being an issue. They refused to do anything to help with the cost. I was forced to pay to replace the brakes and rotors totally out of pocket ($488)! after doing more research and speaking to other Journey owners I guess I should be prepared to do this all over again in 7000-9000 more miles. Dodge needs to make a recall and make the situation right with their customers who spent a lot of money on their product!!!.

Own a 2010 Dodge Journey, front brakes shimmyed at 20,000 miles, called dealer not a covered part. Owner replaced front brakes and rotors, no further problem there. On fuel mileage has reduced from approx. 22 miles to gallon to 17 miles to gallon. Also vehicle slows down too fast upon coasting, feels like dragging. Tires from kumho are garbage, replaced all with different brand, was told no recall on those either. Tires wore out at 20,000 miles, was told by tire dealer that those tires are faulty due to wear out at 15 to 25,000 miles. Says chlysler knos about kumho but wont recall them. Overall getting discouraged with chysler product, and getting no help on problems. During winter month vehicle went into awd due to tires slipping, made ugly grinding noises and shake when activated, also stuck in awd. Had to back up 500 or more feet to get it to unlock or deactivate. Has not been right since, and again told not a covered problem. Everytime I call about these problems they say bring it in but warrenty will not cover, im disabiled and I cant afford to bring in and pay shop rates just to say on paper not a warrenty problem, I have to pay for repairs.
