The door control panel has failed, causing the driver to not have the ability to roll down the window, or lock and unlock the door. the airbag warning light has also come on, presumably indicating a defect in the door panel airbag sensor. i spoke with dodge regarding a safety recall for the same model year, but excluding my vin. they indicated that they would not cover the costs of the replacement of the faulty parts, but to "save my receipts" in case they decide to replace the parts in the future. now my family's daily driver has a faulty airbag, in addition to brakes that have to be replaced every 12-18k miles, and no help from dodge... thanks for the bailout americans... *tr

We bought this car used in 2011. we had an inspection done of the brakes by the dealership we bought from and were informed the brakes were in good shape. we have taken the vehicle to the local dodge dealership for regular preventive maintenance and they have told us the brakes are in good shape also. the last visit they told us the front brakes were completely gone. this after just 4000 miles. the electrical system is also failing. the vehicle at times just won't start or other times will shut done. we feel this vehicle is an accident waiting to happen and feel we have a lemon with no course of action and still 5years of payments.

When brakes are applied, the steering wheel shakes so bad that i am afraid of losing control of the vehicle. no one else wants to drive it and i only dare to drive it back and forth to work which is less than 7 miles and speed limits do not exceed 35 mph. i have had brakes replaced twice since i bought it in 2011 and now it needs them again. i had to replace all 4 tires with less than 20,000 miles on them. cost was over $1300.00. what can i do with this lemon? also, when it rains, the driver's side rear door fills with water.
Upon taking an exit ramp from the freeway i removed my foot from the gas pedal and placed it on the brake pedal. the traction control light came on and i immediately lost power, then i noticed the electronic throttle control light was flashing too. after sluggishly lurching my way to the side of the road i read that the manual said to place the vehicle in park and cycle the ignition. upon doing this the lights went off and the vehicle appeared to function normally. then, it did it again the next day under very similar circumstances, i removed my foot from the accelerator and applied the brake and both lights came on with a total loss of power and some lugging to the side of the road. if a semi had been behind us, there is no way he could have stopped soon enough to avoid a collision. i find numerous complaints about the etc on the internet, but nobody taking action. does someone have to file a lawsuit first? because i will..... *tr

I purchased the car in january and had to put front brakes and rotors on it. in october the rear brakes and rotors had to be replaced. now it's november and the front brakes are going out again. i have checked the calipers for proper operation and they appear to be fine. the brakes just keep wearing out. i owned my last vehicle for much longer and never had to replace the brakes on it. the brakes on my journey were new when i bought it. i see no reason for a vehicle to need at least 3 sets of front brakes before it even hits 60,000 miles. *tr
Brakes need replacement after only 15000 normal miles. *kb
2009 dodge journey, bought brand new, on 4th replacement of front and rear brake pads and rotors. car needs brakes and rotors between 3rd and 4th repair at 5,000 miles! metal to metal sound, feels like tie rod is breaking and steering wheel shakes very badly. vehicle is a lemon and chrysler will do nothing to help. due to the number of complaints on brakes a recall or repair should be being addressed by chrysler not carried by the consumers pocket and health. if i have an accident in this car, all of the complaints on this site will be referenced for my subsequent lawsuit. last dodge of 4 previous vehicles that i will purchase! *tt
