Problems with 2009 Dodge Journey TIRES

2009 dodge journey. consumer writes in regards to transmission failure. *ld the consumer stated the transmission failed. the doors would not lock and the tires blew out, as there was no tread on them. *jb

Tl* the contact owns a 2009 dodge journey. while driving 20 mph, the vehicle stalled and all of the cylinders ceased in the engine. the check engine and tire air pressure indicators illuminated on the instrument panel. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was not notified. the failure mileage was 161,414.

Car started shaking violently, stopped at a tire company(bayard tire in bayard florida) and tech said left rear tire belts were broken. this is the fifth kumho tire that this has happened to. i had the front 2 replaced in april of 2012 (39000) and the rears replaced in sept. of 2012(40000) now the left rear tire has done the same thing at 55000 miles. this could cause a major accident if it would have blown out. *tr

While driving home from local grocery store, rear drivers side tire suddenly became flat. i was able pull over to the side of the road. when my husband arrived to help, he attempted to put in some "fix a flat" to get me to the tire store less than 2 miles away and the valve stem went completely inside and all air was released from tire. he put on the spare and we took the tire to the tire store and had to purchase a new valve stem with sensor in it. again, dodge is putting faulty equipment into their cars and not acknowledging obvious flaws in their vehicles. this is another example of a safety recall that dodge should be forced to put in place. *tr

While traveling 70 mph from detroit to ohio with three 13 year old boys in my car. the front passenger tire was extremely low. i was able to make it to a service station. when i attempted to put air in the tire, the valve broke, releasing all air in the tire. i contact road service through my insurance and they put the spare on. i then traveled to firestone in sandusky, oh, where i was told that the tire could not be repaired. unfortunately, they did not have my tire in stock as it is a 19" kuhmo. they were able to find one tire 100 miles from where i was in cleveland. so off i went to cleveland, where i spent $289 to replace a tire that was barely 10 months old due to the faulty valve. today i contacted [xxx] at suburban cjd of troy and was told that i would have to pay for the replacement of the valves. not acceptable. i could have been killed along with the tree teenage passengers that i had in my car. please advise as to how i should proceed. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr

Tire pressure sensors mounted on the valve stems on the wheels are cracking and will eventually fail causing a sudden loss of air to the tires that may lead to an accident that may cause serious injury or death. *tr

The vehicle keeps overheating. i've added coolant. there doesn't seem to be a leakage stain in the garage or driveway. it happened yesterday after leaving the office for lunch. i barely made it home before the journey completely shut down. i allowed the engine to cool off, added coolant, and it wouldn't restart. i took a different car back to work and was able to start the journey upon returning home. i let it sit overnight and it started right up this morning. however, upon driving 15 minutes during lunch today, it overheats again. the red warning light appeared and the ding sounded. the journey coasted into my office parking spot where it will stay until i leave this evening. hopefully, after adding more coolant, i'll at least be able to make it home. i will be trading this vehicle in asap! ps. the tire pressure light is always on, irregardless the proper amount of air in the tires. *tr

While driving at about 25 mph the tire went flat. mechanic said that the valve stem\tire pressure sensor had corroded and come loose causing the tire to deflate. *tr

2009 dodge journey air pressure sensor failure. on 4-23-13. i was traveling a local highway about 65 mph when the valve stem and pressure sensor came loose and fell into the tire on the right rear tire. i managed to get the car stopped safely after loosing control. after reading a dodge forum on-line. the general idea is that this 2009 dodge journey pressure sensor is poorly designed. from what i understand. dodge changed the material the sensor is made of in 2011. *tr

The valve stems on my 2009 dodge journey cracked causing the stem to fly out of the tire. this causes the tire to instantly go flat, which in turn makes the vehicle difficult to control. this has happened to me twice. both times i was on the highway. luckily i was able to control the car and get to the side of the road. if i had been in any other lane i most likely would have veered into another lane or in front of another car. i had to fix the other two tires as well as they were also cracked. this is apparently a problem that dealers/mechanics are aware of. dodge is also aware. they have since changed the way the valves were made. they are now some type of plastic. the consumer however is not aware until something goes wrong. in both cases an accident could have easily happened. again, i was lucky. by doing research on the internet i have found it happens to 2009 and 2010 vehicles. i have contacted dodge and all i got we're apologies. if i lost my life or my children an apology wouldn't bring anyone back. the public needs to be aware of this issue before something terrible happens. when the stem blows out of the tire the air loss is instantaneous. there is no warning just loss of control over the vehicle. i truly hope that someone can help make others aware that this a problem. *tr

Traveling at 60mph on west bound m-59 highway, in michigan, when all air pressure lost out of rt. rear tire. managed to get car stopped in front of a belle tire store. had them take car in for repairs and they told me that it was just one more failure, due to road salt, of the aluminum valve stem on a chrysler tpms air pressure sending unit. they advised me to replace unit on all four wheels because they would soon be failing. i replaced two of them at a cost of $65 each because that was all that i could afford. they said that it was a common problem and showed me a bushel of defective chrysler (siemens) units. since only the valve stems are bad, and easy to replace, i looked for replacements on the internet but found none. too bad that they make you buy a $65 part over the failure of a $1 part. by-the way, there are units offered with rubber valve stems that hold up just like the old ones.

During regular oil change the service manager notified me that my tire pressure valve stems on three wheels had corroded to the point of breaking off. one tire lost pressure completely, requiring me to have it replaced immediately. if this had occurred on the road it could have been disastrous. *tr

I sustained nonrepairable to a tire on my vehicle during a highway trip. when i went to a authorized dealer to purchase a new tire, i found that they do not stock a single tire of the type authorized by the vehicle manufacturer per warrenty specification. i had to drive on the freeway at night with a skinny emergency tire installed for over 100 miles. i felt very unsafe and nervous being placed in this situation. *tr

Valve stem sensors on the two rear tires are corroded and cracked. driving down road metal on valve stem fell off causing rapid air loss in tire. other tire with corroded valve stem broke at car wash. this is a well known probably, i know this because i am a deputy sheriff and this same problem happened to our squad cars, which our dodge chargers. after two deputies had blowouts at high rate of speed sheriff ordered all sensors changed. if you google online this problem is coming and people are going to die in an accident from this. this has to be recalled by chrysler. chrysler knows this problem exists because they changed the sensors in 2011. *tr

On the first incident, the right driver side tire suddenly went flat. valve rotted, that tire was fixable. we questioned the cold weather. we figured it was a fluke. on july 15, 2012 rear driver side tire suddenly went flat while driving 55 mph - warm weather - brought it to a tire company and they stated the valve rotted on this tire as well and that the tire was unrepairable. both times our 3 and 6 year old children were in the car with us- this is a huge safety issue. i know another person that recently owned a dodge journey and had a blow out - they ended up across the road and down the bank. luckily no injuries. i don't think this is a coincidence. this could result in bodily injury. the valves on these cars need to be addressed immediately. today i am spending $1325 to replace all 4 tires and rims so that myself and my children do not end up in a fatality. *tr

Tire valve stems - tire pressure light was on as weather got colder, when i tried to remove the valve caps the stems broke off and the tires deflated. the stem was corroded into the plastic cap and when twisted, stem broke off. thank god that they didn't break off while the car was running down the highway as would of caused an accident. this condition has happened over and over on this vehicle and there needs to be a recall before someone gets killed. *kb

After raining the passenger side rear door fills with water. when i close the door i hear the water swish around inside and then i see it drain out of the bottom of the door. this is the 4th time that i have seen this happen in as many weeks. my wife has also noticed the exact same thing before i did. the door fills with water pretty much every time it rains. it seems like it is at least filling up with several cups of water. i am concerned with mold getting into the car and also the probability of an electrical short. this happens every single time it rains. in addition to the door filling with water the low tire pressure light keeps coming on and the rear left tire will slowly deflate. i have already had the tire replaced once and the same thing happened again in a matter of weeks. outside air temperature seems to have no effect on when this occurs because it happen during the cold and when it is hot out. usually the low tire pressure warning will come on within one week of filling the tire. *tr

I have a 2009 dodge journey and the tire (while not in motion) tire went flat. found out the sensor for the air pressure is the issue. this is a hazardous to every owner. what if this would have happen w/ other passengers in the vehicle especially my baby. this could have resulted in a horrific accident. this vehicle should be recall w/ some other alternative measures for the sensors. i understand all four tires have sensors and this can happen at any time. *tr

My wife tried to take the cap off one of her tires to put air in her tire. as she was trying to twist the cap off, it blew off of the tire and hit her in the face. i took the tire to a shop and they said that it was the wheel sensor that the tip corroded off. they replaced the sensor on that tire and then went to check the pressure on the other tires. when they tried to take the cap off of another tire, the end of that tire sensor also snapped off. my wife's vehicle is a 2009 dodge journey with 34,000 miles on it. when i called the service department of the dealership where i bought the vehicle, they said that the sensor is not covered under any warranty when it breaks off at the tip like that. *tr

We purchased a used 2009 dodge journey with 41,000 miles on it. the low tire indicator light was on, which the dealer assured us was due to cold winter air. 10 days later a tire went flat sitting in the driveway. i changed the tire to the donut spare, took it to a tire store, and they explained that the tpms device had broken, which had allowed the tire to deflate. they checked the other tires and 3 of the 4 tires had broken tpms devices. the mechanic indicated they saw similar problems with lots of dodge vehicles, especially in winter. the tire store did not have the parts they needed to fix it right then, so a regular valve stem was placed in those three tires as a temporary fix. the mechanic indicated that the tpms devices in the other two tires were so broken that any sudden disturbance, such as a pothole, could have caused them to lose pressure very quickly, and that this was a definite safety hazard. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2009 dodge journey. the contact stated the tire pressure sensor gauge had broken on the vehicle. the stems on the front passenger side and the rear passenger side had also broken. the failure was caused by corrosion. the contact took the vehicle to the dealer and was told this is a known problem with the vehicle, and that is why the 2011 was changed to a brass stem from cast aluminum. the failure was 39,000 and the current mileage was 45,000.

I own a 2009 dodge journey with 78,000 miles the car has been great. at 60k miles i needed to purchase new tires, the car has kuhmo 205 55 r19 tires, kuhmo is the only maker of this size tire, and the tires are on back order indefinitely!!! i was told by dodge that they were sorry but they could give me a years worth of oil changes for free? great free oil changes for a car i cant drive? *tr

Front brake pads and rotors needed to be replaced at 12k miles on our 2009 dodge journey. now we just had all brake lights go out. we took it to our mechanic and they found only 1 bulb bad. after the 1 bulb was replaced, all lights started working again. why would they put these bulbs in series rather than parallel so that only the bad bulb would be out rather than all? that is a big a safety problem in my opinion. also one tire now has a bulge in the sidewall and needs replaced. the vehicle has about 15k miles. *tr

I drive the dodge journey for 13 months from new. the car has now 32,500 miles on it. i had to replace brakes - pads and rotors three times. recently i found out that the rear tires are also worn - the lower part of the inside wall on both tires is worn not evenly? the local dealer, supported by dodge officials, claims this is normal wear and tear for this car, shirking the manufacturer's responsibility. *tr

At 31,000 miles my 2009 dodge journey began shaking when brakes applied. had to replace both front and back brakes and rotors at a cost of $450. currently a shake exist in the chassis of the vehicle when i reach speeds of 50 mph or greater. tires where balance 3 times and final diagnosis by dealership is that i have one "egg shaped" kumho tire that kumho will not take responsibility for and would cost me $267.00 to change as there is only one manufacture of this tire. *tr

I own a 2009 dodge journey and have had to replace the front brake pads and rotors twice and the rear pads and rotors once. the last replacement for the front brakes was on july 26th 2010 and i was informed today that they need replaced again, after only 11,000 miles. there are many other problems with this car like the paint peeling off, the tires warning badly and now they all 4 need replaced even though i have them balanced and rotated regularly. however, i feel the brake problem is not just my problem, but is also a safety issue for other drivers. *tr

Brakes continue to go bad. vehicle calls for numerous brake changes including the rotors as well. dodge notified and nothing has been resolved. also their valve stems are breaking in half in cold weather. causing tires air to deplete within 8 seconds. i have the valve stem from my car that broke and the other was replaced earlier under warranty. if this valve stem was to break in half while at high speeds on the highway, someone could be killed. *tr

Front brakes rotors and pads needed to be replaced at 12000 miles, rear brakes pads and rotors replaced at 20000 miles and front brakes needed to be replaced again at same time steering wheel vibrates horribly dealer said needed rear wheel alignment and 2 new tires at 20000 miles had it done brakes still squealing and grinding and dealer says "can't find anything wrong" steering wheel starting to vibrate again at 23000 miles dealer says nothing wrong can't hear squeaks in brakes unbelievable it is ear piercing and they grind intermittently i am sure soon to be grinding continually and then they will tell me i need new brakes again have spent 1200.00 dollars out of pocket vehicle isn't even paid for yet i have lost faith in chrysler and don't know what to do can't afford these costly repairs on a car that is basically new i am afraid that one time the brakes will fail completely that is how fast they wear out. *tr

2009 dodge journey. consumer states problem with tires. *tgw the consumer stated after he left the dealership, he experienced a flat tire. once he arrived home, he discovered two more valve stems had fallen off. the valve stems had fallen off due to corrosion. *jb

2009 dodge journey sxt 6 cyl. 3.5 l engine. 2wd. front brakes started to squeal and gouge the rotor on the front left (driver side) after only 20k miles. replaced pads and could not afford to turn rotor also. 58 complaints on autobeef.com and carcomplaints.com about the same problem, same vehicle, same year, same results from dodge and dealers. 'it's normal" and over 12k or 12 months not covered under warranty. all complaints about this to chrysler/dodge and nhtsa have happened between 7k miles and 24k miles... no recall or acknowledgment of this problem by dodge. they refuse to recall and state that they have not heard of this problem from anyone else. read the complaints on autobeef and see how many people have called dodge about this. in most cases, the pads were replaced and new rotors were replaced at owner's expense. in alot of cases, the dealers told the owners that if they turned the rotors, they would be too thin and had to get new rotors. keep in mind that these are cars under 25k miles. the caliper has not been addressed as part of the problem but the pads and rotors have to be replaced again after only another 10k miles. i think it may be the calipers. dodge needs to recall based on this problem. as a result of the premature brake wear the front tires have wear on the outside treads. it is the brakes and tires!!! safety issue!!!!! *tr

2009 dodge journey. consumer requests tires to be replaced on vehicle under warranty due to an safety issue *tgw the consumer stated the vehicle did not come equipped with the proper tires for the snow. the vehicle came equipped with 19 wheels, however the dealer stated 17 inch rims with all weather tires should have been on the vehicle. *jb

On monday, march 8, 2010, my wife, two year old daughter and i suffered a third episode of the following dangerous malfunctions: steering, transmission and drivetrain issues that, without notice, result in an unbearable screeching and grinding noise emanating from underneath the vehicle at speeds between 15 and 30 mph, a pause and hesitation in acceleration between speeds of 15 and 30 m.p.h. that causes the car to jump forward, the immediate loss of accurate steering and a burning smell throughout the car interior we suffered the most recent episode, without notice, while driving through rush hour traffic at 7:45 a.m. we waited two hours for a tow truck to arrive. fortunately, my wife and daughter were only shaken, but not injured. in the last three months, we have had an unsafe rear tire replaced, sunroof parts replaced for constant leaking, a new electronic module installed to prevent the episodes of the entire electronic system malfunctioning causing the loss of car function and door locks and multiple power steering parts replaced. *tr

At 11k miles i had to have front brakes replaced. shortly after that my back brakes had to be replaced and my back rotors were warped. the dealer told me i had exceeded the 12k manufacturer warranty and had to pay for repair. after researching consumer reviews and having read of numerous complaints on brakes / rotors i sent a letter to chrysler along with complaints. i did not receive any letter, not a phone call, just a check for repayment of brake work. since then i have had my censor light come on twice for the tires and up until now, after reading from this website was i unaware this vehicle appears to have problems with tires as well. my vehicle is currently in the shop. i had taken in twice for a noise that was coming from the front passenger side. the first time i was told they could not find anything. the 2nd i was told it was a computer chip that needed adjusting and it would be "fine". it wasn't fine. the noise got worse. my power locks on driver door and my remote key would not work. i took my vehicle in for both the noise and the power locks/key not working. i have been without a vehicle since monday (it is friday) and it is due to having to replace a wiring system and alternator. an alternator? my vehicle has 25k miles!! please help.....there are almost 200 complaints for all the same problems i am having. this is not right. *tr

On april 28, 2009 i have a tire failure while driving an a well maintained paved highway. specifically, i had a sidewall failure on my right rear tire. upon examination of the tire i found a "v" shaped failure in the sidewall of about one half inch. closer examination revealed that the chords in the tire were frayed as opposed to being cut cleanly. during the first week of april 2011, i experienced another sidewall failure with the same "v" shaped break while traveling on a well maintained paved highway. i decided at that time to replace all four tires with ome tires and i kept the remaining three good tires. in february, 2012, i experienced a third sidewall failure with the same "v" shaped rupture in the sidewall of the left front tire. my mileage at this time was approximately 40500. the replacement tire that was installed was from the original ome tires that i had kept when i replaced after the second failure. approximately 3 months later that replacement tire developed a bulge on the outside tread area of approximately 12" long by 2" wide. i then replaced all fours again with another brand. the ome tires originally on my vehicle and the first set of replacement tires were: kumho 225/55r bw kh16 99t. *tr

I own a 2009 dodge journey, within the last month my wife and i have both experienced tire blowouts. the problem comes from the valve of the tire snapping off and immediate loss of air pressure. these incidents have taken place in the winter. this is a very dangerous matter that needs to be followed up. after the first incident 12/12/2010, i took vehicle to my mechanic who put a rubber valve on till i could vehicle into dealer. the second incident took place 1/13/2011. i called the dodge dealer told him about what had happened and scheduled an appointment to have valves replaced, when i asked if they would replace other two valves i was told they would have to contact talk to dodge. dodge said it would pay for damage to tire this should be an immediate recall when your dealing with safety. *tr
