2011 Dodge Journey service brakes problems

“I REPLACED MY CALIBER AND BRAKES LESS THEN A YEAR AGO. SINCE THEN I HAVE BEEN REPLACING MY BRAKES EVERY 3 MONTHS I HAVE TO REPLACE MY BRAKES AND ROTORS. I KEEP SMELLING METAL BURNING PLUS THE BRAKES LIGHT IS STAYING ON.”

“1) CRUISE CONTROL NOT WORKING AND ONLY WORKS WHEN IT WANTS OR REFUSES TO TURN OFF THIS HAPPENS SITTING STILL, DRIVING OR EVEN IF I TURN OFF AND ON THE CAR FOR RESET IT STILL DOES NOT WORK. THE WEB SHOWS A RECALL BUT THE DODGE DEALERSHIP SAID NO RECALL? THIS HAS BEEN ON GOING SINCE WE PURCHASED THE CAR AND HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP NUMEROUS TIMES TO GET REPAIRED AND STILL NOT REPAIRED. 2) WHEELS SHAKE WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKES I HAVE REPLACED THE ROTTERS AND BRAKES AND IT STILL DOES IT I SEE A RECALL ON THIS ALSO BUT DODGE SAYS NO RECALL? AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT WITHOUT CAUSE THE INTERNET SAYS RECALL AND THE DODGE HOUSE SAYS NO RECALL? THIS DODGE JOURNEY HAS MANY PROBLEMS AND SHOULD BE FIXED BY THE COMPANY BY RECALLS. THEY DID NOT FIX THE 2010 AND THEY FOUND THEM SELVES IN A LAWSUIT, MAYBE THAT IS WHAT IT IS GOING TO TAKE ON THE 2011 ALSO.”
