I was in park waiting for a spot to open up in a school parking lot, took my vehicle out of park and proceeded to put in drive and move 20 feet or so to the parking spot, as I was turning into the spot I engaged the brake to come to a complete stop but my pedal did not work, it did not spring back like it is suppose to and my vehicle did not stop and a concrete parking pillar stopped my vehicle for me. I threw it into park and jumped out because smoke was pouring from my hood to see the damage and when I jumped back in to the car to shut it off I realized my car wasn't running and all the lights came across the dash. I restarted the car and the brake pedal pumped like nothing was wrong. $6,000. 00 worth of damage later and still being worked on and no answers to why my brakes failed me.

Abs. . . . Braking failure. . . . My brakes failed on 12/31/2015 shortly before 3pm, I was leaving a shopping center parking lot, a car was backing out, so I went to hit my brakes, and they went all the way to the floor without stopping or slowing down, I tried a second time but still nothing happened, so I as I got closer to the car, I veered away from it and bumped a pole to stop my car, I was going between 5-7 miles per hour, and the vehicle wouldn't stop. My vechicle had front end damage to the bumper and the hood, and not sure if the bumper or the hood pressed against the radiator, but that needed repair as well. My insurance company took care of the damage, I later found out while my vehicle was in the shop getting body work repaired, that there was a recall on my abs, shortly after I received a recall notice in the mail. Not sure if that was the reason why my brakes failed, but they isn't any other explanation, my vehicle was only a little over 3 months old, and shouldn't have had that problem. After the bodyshop completed the body damage the insurance company towed it to the Chrysler dealership where it was purchased and they refused the vehicle stating they would only fix it if I accept responsibility for the accident, and that I had to put it in writing for the insurance company, so that they insurance company wont make them reimburse them for the damages that they already paid for. (which didn't make any sense to me. . I am still waiting for somebody to accept the responsibility as to why I didn't have any brakes, and why the insurance company just didn't have the repair shop fix the brakes as well. . . . Even after all the front end damage I'm still confused as to why the airbags didn't deploy. Maybe there is a defect there as well.

We bought out Dodge Journey new with 26 miles on it in Nov. 2011. I would say at around 5,000 miles we started hearing a loud squealing from the front brakes and a little bit of vibration in the steering wheel. So on our next service date on 4/3/12 with 6,746 miles on it we asked them to check the brakes out. They told us maybe a rock or something but they did not see anything physically wrong with the brakes. So we drove it with the brakes squealing getting worse for a few months. We took a road trip and went to hit the brakes and there was almost no brake and a violent shaking to the wheel. The very next day on 7/18/12 we took it to the dealer again and again we got the same answer. Knowing how the brakes did not work and was putting my family in danger I told them there was something wrong with the brakes to fix them. About an hour later I got a phone call stateing that they were going to be replacing the front brakes and rotors and that I was just inside my 12,000 mile warranty with 11582 miles on our Journey. Since they have replaced the brakes and rotors we are starting to get noises on and off again and this time we heard a loud popping sound from the brakes. We took it to the dealer again and again nothing wrong with the brakes. Because of what happened last time I took it to an outside mechanic to visually look at the brakes and confirmed the brakes were once again with less than 3000 miles on them digging into the rotors, and the rotors are blue from getting to hot which can cause premature brake wear and failure. We have had it to two different dealers trying to get the problem fixed before my family or someone else gets seriously hurt. We keep getting the same answer we can not duplicate the noise and we physically see nothing wrong.

This vehicle has been in the shop several times for the brakes malfunctioning and still no real solution Dodge has a commercial for the Journey stating that they are insurance institute for highway safety. Top safety pick for 2011 if the brakes fail it does not get any more unsafe then that it is obviously a problem and the consumer has no one to turn to please do something before someone dies should not you be proactive instead of reactive at the very least investigate to see if there is a problem. Thank you.

2010 Dodge Journey sxt brake failure. Rotors replaced by carmax and serviced by landmark Dodge. Extreme shaking in front wheel and premature rear brake failure.

Brakes and rotors fail prematurely on Dodge Journey. I've had to replace the brakes and rotors three times now in the past 12 months. The rotors warp causing the vehicle to shake. I don't think that the brake system that Dodge put in these cars functions correctly.

Purchased a 2009 Dodge Journey sxt in 02/09; took car in to dealership 11/30/10 for routine oil change/maintenance and was told the front brakes were shot even though the car has less than 21,000 miles on it and vehicle has had stringent maintenance. Was told by the service dept that Journeys "are just hard on brakes". Then contacted several local brake shops and was told this was way too early for brakes to be failing. No warning light on dash; only indication brakes were bad was a little grabbing or mushy feeling upon braking, occasional slight squealing noises but this was infrequent. Upon checking the internet I found hundreds of complaints from other Dodge Journey owners of premature wear on brakes. Contacted Dodge corporate office; spoke with service rep and explained the problem. She agreed front brakes should not be wearing out this early; she contacted the local dealership where I bought the car (which I had already done). She called me back and said they had worked out that I needed to take the car in and replace the front brake parts and upgrade to heavier duty parts. Kicker is that I was supposed to pay for everything; I pointed out that the factory parts originally issued on the car were obviously not heavy duty for a 3800 pound car and that the brakes were a design defect. She stated that it was considered to be normal wear and that Dodge would not replace parts; dealership stated the same. Asked if it would take someone dying in a crash from brake failure to get Dodge to recall vehicles and no answer was given. Took car in to local brake shop and mechanic said front brakes were totally gone and were cutting into the rotor. This is a hazard issue. I take the car in every 3000 miles for maintenance and had never previously been told brakes were going bad---- which they shouldn't be at barely 20,000 miles! these cars should be recalled due to defective parts and have the company to replace brakes.

Pre-mature rear brake failure.

I have a 2009 Dodge Journey and the front brakes failed after 29,686 miles. The dealer claims it is normal, this is not true. I am very conscious about braking, I keep my distance and do not make hard brakes unless needed. Based on posted reports, many are having the same problem. I have never owned an automobile with a brake failure with less than 70,000 miles on it, never. Brake failure is a safety concern of mine, it could harm the people in the car as well as some one else. Dodge is not taking any responsibility for this design or material defect, what ever the case is, but they don't have any problem taking your money to keep repairing the problem. I am sure Dodge will do nothing until a couple of people are killed due to brake problems with this type vehicle.

Brake failure brakes and rotors worn to a dangerous condition premature without and warning or panel light.

Have a 2009 Dodge Journey with defective brakes. Vehicle has only 18,000 miles and this is the 3rd set of brakes and rotors needing replacement. Premature brake wear leading to brake failure front and rear. Contacted Chrysler,they want me to pay for defective brakes. Dealer admitted to me seeing on going problem with this car. Chrysler says nothing wrong. Numerous complaints online from same vehicle owners,same complaints. Something needs to be seriously done about this before someone gets hurt .

Premature brake failure.

On my 2009 Dodge Journey sxt 4 door SUV I have had constant brake problems. Had to initially get the front breaks replaced at 16,000 miles and am now taking it back in to get them replaced again at 25,000 miles only a few months later. This is ridiculous! I don't ride my brakes at all! brakes should not need to be replaced this often on a vehicle. Please make Dodge take responsibility and replace every brake on every model and refund all of us who have had to deal with this! this is our families lives at stake if the brakes fail, someone needs to be held accountable!!.
