Two problems related to tire have been reported for the 2012 Dodge Journey. The most recently reported issues are listed below. Please also check out the statistics and reliability analysis of the 2012 Dodge Journey based on all problems reported for the 2012 Journey.
I got the car brand new on 2012. The car now has 17000 miles, the problem started with the tires when the car had 15000. At speed over 50m I feel shaking in the tires, and feel that the car is not stable and not griped to the way, also the car always slides on curves specially if the road is wet , even if very slightly wet and on low speed. All maintenance to the tires including rotation and allignment used to be done on time at the dealer. When I informed them about the problem they told me that I might need to change the tires, and added that the tires are not covered under the car warranty and that I have to contact the tires manufacture for any available coverage. I contacted the tires manufacture which informed me that these tires has no milages warranty, and added that these tires are specially made for Dodge under their requested standards which is less quality than those available in the market. This is a serious safety issue that might result in severe accidents for the Dodge Journey crew drivers.
Nearly bald tires after 24,000 miles and two years. Neither the dealership or the tire manufacturer will take responsibility of any kind. Got stuck in very low levels of snow, slide in wet conditions, etc. Kumho tires told me that these tires are made out of a compound that are not meant to last more than 20,000 miles. I feel Dodge is deliberately cheating their customers by putting such tires on a vehicle they are selling or leasing.
