Brake Disc Pads problems of the 2012 Dodge Journey

My family and I ,was going through anintersection when someone ran red ligth we performed an emergency stop applying brake pedal where abs kicked in ,no collison accured but the abs and brake pedal system "did not'' recover with the pedal continue to fade to floor afterwards . . . . . There are no currently no visiable leaks on braking system and brake pads both front and rear are 8-10 mm in thickness.

The contact owns a 2012 Dodge Journey. While driving 55 mph, the brake pedal was depressed and the abs and anti-skid warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where the diagnosis was unknown; however, both the front and rear brake pads and front rotors were replaced. The failure persisted and the independent mechanic informed the contact of a recall, and suggested he call the manufacturer. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed him that the VIN was included in NHTSA campaign number: 17v432000 (air bags). The vehicle was taken to waldorf Dodge (2294 crain hwy, waldorf, MD 20601 (301) 232-0946) where the air bag recall was serviced. The contact informed the dealer of the brake failure, but the dealer failed to diagnose or repair the brake failure. The VIN was not included in NHTSA campaign number: 15v675000 (electronic stability control, service brakes, hydraulic). The failure mileage was approximately 207,000.

Purchased new in 2012. Dodge Journey sxt the tires developed cord separation at 22,000 km. Manufacturer kumho. Neither Chrysler nor kumho would offer any compensation. Even had 4 wheel alignment done that checked out ok to make sure it was not the problem. Replaced them with american made tires and so far no issues. My advise to new car purchasers is have tires if off shore replaced with domestics as part of offer to purchase. Secondly vehicle to date only has 37,000 km and brake rotors developed a warp. Pulsation is being felt upon moderate braking. I am not one to be hard on brakes and have never had to panic stop thus not having to over heat the brakes. Next issue the cruise control will not engage when the button is pushed. The clock on the radio does not keep time . This is not our daily driver and the warranty has run out time wise. To date only just over 37,000 km. I own 2 other n. A. Vehicles by gm and Ford 2001 and 1999 respectively . The 01 sunfire 455,000 km 4 sets of pads and original rotors and drums and f150 with 157,000 2nd set of pads and original rotors so you can see it is not a poor driving style. Very disappointed with Chrysler products . Have to take the Journey back to dealer for service to see what can be done and will be getting hold of Chrysler rep, this one is more in the shop than in my driveway thanks to gm and Ford for keeping me rolling. If no positive results from dealer or Chrysler I will not recommend their product to anyone from my experiences. I hope some one at Chrysler reads this comment. I would certainly like to hear their response. Having read many forums only to find out many are having the same issues with the same vehicles.

Hi my name is renada rogers brown. I'm writing this complaint on the basis of my 2012 Dodge Journey. I have had my 2012 Dodge Journey for 2 years and 3 months, and I have had to replace front brake pads and resurface rotors 3 times in 2 years. I've also had to replace rear brake pads and resurface rotors twice on the back 1 recently being 3 days ago and now I took it somewhere else because of noise in the front brakes and rotors and they said I need front calibers on both sides and break hose on both sides, and a break fluid flush and need more brakes because they locked up at that place today also. I haven't even paid car payment this month and I've already paid 300 dollars for break caliber on the truck and place I went to get a 2nd opion and they said I need 652. 85 dollars to get my front done and this is 2 days later after I got my back done. I have spent at least 3,000 dollars on this on going problems in the past 2 years. My 2012 Dodge sucks and I need help. I'm g etting me a lawyer and im filing all kind of complaints about this current problem that I dont have money to keep getting fixed. Also once my breaks locked up on the truck once at the dealership which was July 11, 2018 that cost 300 dollars. I live 30 minutes away from the dealership, I take i95 to and from the dealership, they were about to let me drive my truck back home but the brake had locked before they can give it back to me. Question what if I would've got in my truck and drove back home on i95 and my break would have locked up??? thanks.

32000 miles and brakes and rotors need to be replaced. Rear pads wore uneven, drives side down to metal while passengers are still meaty. Front pads still meaty but rotors are warped? dealer claims wear & tear, no warranty.

I was attempting to drive out of the driveway and put the car in reverse. The car would not go. I ensured that the safety brake was not set and that the car was indeed in reverse. The car was in reverse and the safety brake was not set. I gave the car a little extra acceleration and it felt like I ran over something. I learned that the rear brakes seized. I'm not sure, but I believe that this can compromise the braking ability of the car. It appears that there is an indentation in the rotors from where the brake pads 'set. ' I had a similar problem with the car when the mileage was between 3,000 to 5,000 miles and the dealership replaced the rear pads/rotors.

Brakes on the 2012 Dodge Journey squeaked and appeared to not want to stop properly. I took vehicle in for service and was told that it was break dust that caused the problem. After the sqeaking got worst, I took it back in was told that they replaced my brake pads. Here I am 2 months later with the same problem. In addition, the vehicle has a slow take off. When trying to obtain speed the vehcile stalls before speed is picked up. Now, I'm having problems with the passenger seatbelt not giving a light signal nor alarming signal that seatbelt is not on.

The contact owns a 2012 Dodge Journey. While the vehicle was idling at a traffic light, the contact noticed smoke. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who stated that the brake fluid was contaminated and the rotors and brake pads needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 20.

While still under factory warranty I complained that the rear rotors were scored. Rear brake pads are totally worn out, aftermarket pads were suggested, and put on at my expense of $270. 00. Car has 30,076 miles on it. I was told on 29sep14 that once warn and scored rear rotors scoring again was normal. Car has 41,124 miles on it. Last week car was again brought in, the rear right rear brake pad was gone. I brought the car to martins Dodge in union grove to have the work done again. I did not want the first dealer to work on the car anymore. Chrysler wants me to pay for the repairs first at my expense. Then they will reimburse for what they think is correct. Estimated repairs are over $900. Since last time I only drove the car 8,000 miles. Will this happen to me again in another few months.
