You and me are very much alike. I got my new 2011 Journey in July. I am a mom that does not ever see myself in a minivan, that is why I feel for the journey. I am just having one issue that is driving me crazy.
The break issue (Squeaky) will not go away. I am now going on 5000 miles and am still having loud, annoying, ear piercing squeaks. I had taken it in (1500 miles) to find out what is going on with them. I have been reading everything I can to understand this very annoying and embarrassing issue. The technician told me it was due to metallic brakes. He stated that this is normal for metallic brakes and told me to "just brake hard" to release the "material that is there." He then further stated that i needed to use my emergency brake at the beginning to speed up with the removal. This to me makes absolutely no since. From the beginning of learning about a car...squeaky brakes is a negative thing. To me Dodge is saying that squeaky brakes is absolutely "normal". I am very confused. I am taking it in tomorrow morning for its oil change. Is there anyone out there that can tell me how to tell them to stop pushing me around (if they are) and make my brakes stop squeaking. I have a new car and I do not put squeaky breaks in the same category as a new car. Please someone help me understand.
