Thought I would chime in on the brakes issues....
I have a 2010 Journey SXT AWD, 3.5 V6.
We have about 70k miles on the car. The last set of rotors and pads I put on the front only lasted about 20,000 miles.
This time I bought a higher end set from Autozone. Bought the Duralast Gold rotors and pads for the front.
So far so good.
I will repost at some point to share updates.
