“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.”

“TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 DODGE JOURNEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE BRAKE PAD DETACHED FROM THE VEHICLE WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE VEERED TO THE LEFT AND THE CONTACT MANAGED TO STOP THE VEHICLE WITH THE REMAINING THREE BRAKE PADS. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE AND ALL FOUR BRAKE PADS WERE REPLACED. THREE MONTHS LATER, THE BRAKE PADS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AGAIN, AS WELL AS THE ROTORS. THE BRAKE PADS WERE REPLACED ELEVEN TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR SUCCESSFULLY REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000.”

“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”
