Doug,
The information that you received is incorrect. The compression issue was on the 2009 Caravan / Town and Country in beginning of the 2009 model year only and it really was not an issue, just something that Chrysler is saying so they are not being blamed for the undersized brake system. The same brake pad was not even used on the Journey in 2009. The brake pad that was installed on your Journey is the same pad that the Caravan has had since 2009, your Journey had the same pad that the Caravan had in 2008. The fact is that the brake system on the Journey and the Caravan are undersized and it causes the brake pads to wear out extremely quick.
