Will they fix mine now that it's broken from trying to close it while trying to drive as it kept opening? It seems the pin that it swings down from broke off so now I have paper wedged to hold it up.

Hey Zach, My question is this... What are you going to do for "us"? I have 62,000 miles on my '09 and am currently on my 4th set of pads and 2nd or 3rd set of rotors, I can't keep track anymore.

I recently noticed some wear on the front tires of my Journey so I rotated them. After doing so, I noticed that the passenger front wheel appeared to be pointing outward. I took it to Firestone and had them do a 4 wheel alignment. I failed to check it before I left, so when I got home and checked it it still appeared to be pointing outward so I brought it back, They were more than happy to do it again, but when they finished it still appeared to be pointing outward. They told me they not only did the alignment again, but they check everything underneath and that it all was tight and in good shape. I don't want to waste my time at a dealer so I thought I'd come here first for ideas. So does anyone have anything they can share? Oh and I DIDN'T hit any curbs or major potholes so having anything bent or damaged from that is N/A. :unsure:

When I pull into my garage I have to turn the wheel to get my Journey in all the way, but when I turn it back to the left I hear a clicking noise. Any idea what this is?? :blink: :mellow:

Can someone please help me understand why I just replace all 4 rotors and brake pads and after about 3000 miles the steering wobbles like crazy when I stop? I don't know what I did wrong, any ideas?

Believe it or not Chrysler DOES monitor this forum. Many months ago I made several complaints on this forum about this piece of junk and was contacted by a rep from Chrysler. Long story short he sent someone to meet with me and the dealer's service mgr and to take the junker for a ride. This guy sat in the back seat in the middle and watched my foot on the gas pedal to see if I was pushing the pedal up and down to make the car shift hard. WHAT A JOKE! As for the brakes, there is a real problem here. I will assume that most people here would not think that you should have to monitor your brake pads on a NEW car at only 5 or 6000 miles. I have been driving for 30yrs and never have I worn out two pairs of pads in less then 30,000 miles. So for anyone who thinks Chrylser DOESN'T monitor this forum YOUR WRONG!! (just look for my post a while back)

I will check them, thanks... I thought it may have had something to do with the calipers in the rear since you have to screw the pistons down, unlike the fronts. Thanks again...

Yeah, but only a little just to remove any greasy finger prints. Did we do something wrong? UGH...

I just put new rotors and pads on my 09 journey this weekend. Rotors in the real are solid just like they were, the fronts are vented just like they were. The pad ARE NOT ceramic, just regular. Now when i apply them there is a grumble that occurs twice during the braking. Does anyone know what is going on? If I need to replace the pads I want to do it now before the wear into the rotors. :jackinbox:

Just wanted to let Chrysler know after 20yrs of Chrysler products NEVER AGAIN! I can't believe this piece of junk! I had to drive my father who passed away this last July in this crap to and from his chemo and everytime it shifted and jerked his frail body he moaned, how disgusting!!! I also will inform you that I know of 7 people I TALKED OUT OF A JOURNEY at the dealership. Hell even one left and wouldn't buy a Chrysler product. I want you to also know that the internet is a powerful thing and I am doing everything I can to use it to steer people away from Chrysler! For God sakes people 30,000 mile and two sets of brake pads, one rotor cut twice and now once again new pads, and this time new rotors as well. ARE YOU KIDDING ME??!!!!!! NO MORE FROM THIS PERSON and again you can count on many, many more due to my opinion of this piece of junk!

SAME HERE. HAD AN IDIOT FROM CHRYSLER MEET ME AT THE DEALER, HE WENT FOR A RIDE WITH ME AND TOLD ME IT WAS DESIGNED THAT WAY TO SAVE GAS. WHAT A F**KING JOKE!! MINE SHIFTS HARD FROM 2ND TO 3RD AND ON HWYS SEEMS TO SHIFT IN AND OUT OF GEAR AND WILL NOT KEEP SPEED WITHOUT PUSHING THE GAS REPEATEDLY CAUSING A HEAD JERKING SHIFT. GET USED TO IT THEY WON'T ADMIT SOMETHING IS WRONG.

I just had to replace my front pad at 28,000mi, they were worn to NOTHING. I know it's not my driving habits because this has NEVER happened to me before. Anyway, I put ceramic pad on and now I have a squeal in the passenger from when I put the brakes on. I pulled the wheel off reseated the pads, took emery cloth to the rotor and nothing. It doesn't happen all the time, but about 90%. Any ideas??? Thanks.

Check the topic CLUNKING WHEN PUT INTO REVERSE. I have had this problem from day 2 and now with 28,000 miles I still have it.

Hey all check under the trans forum for an update on this car. NEVER AGAIN WILL I OWN A CHRYSLER. 20+ YEARS DOWN THE DRAIN!! I HOPE THEY GO BANKRUPT!!!!
