Braking system of 2009 Dodge Journey is defective, replaced once and replacing again as rotors are warping due to thin material. If I do not pay to replace the rotors, I will certainly lose control of the vehicle if I need to make immediate stop because the vehicle shakes violently when braking. Dodge is making no effort to recall or repair the faulty rotors and there is no other manufacturer that makes rotors for this vehicle.

Front rotors and front and rear brakes all had to be changed at 21,000 miles and again at 31,000 miles. Now rotors require turning again due to pulsation.

Purchased our 2009 Journey in the summer of '09. I live in the country and drive approximately 25 miles to and from work, with only 4 stop lights between. At 27K miles we had to hve the front brakes and rotors replaced. Suddenly one day without any sort of warning it sounded like my front end had fallen off when I came to a stop. The noise was so bad that I pulled to the side and put my hazards on honestly thought it was an enginge issue because the noise and shake was so horrible. Husband came and drove it to the dealership. Found out that we were metal on metal the front brakes and rotors needed to be replaced rear were just fine. Dealership tried to tell us this is normal and that it was in the milage range to need this work done. Told them they were crazy'this was the 9th Dodge vehicle we had owned and never had we had an issue like this. They ended up comping the rotors for us but we needed to pay for brakes. Dodge came along in June of 2011 and reimbursed us for the brake repair. Now 15K miles later I suddenly had the same horrible noise but in the rear of the vehicle. Took it to the dealearship and what do you know the rear brakes and rotors need to be replaced. Called Chrysler this morning, waiting to see what comes of it.
