jctoolman Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 2009 Journey SE Plus, Inferno Red, Safe & Sound, Exterior Appearance Package, Remote Start, Sirius.. About a week ago, I noticed that whenever I released the parking brake and tried pulling away I sensed some resistance followed with two very loud bangs in quick succession, then the vehicle would start moving. Took it to my dealer the next day and, lo and behold, there an advisory of some sort from Chrysler that a batch of rear calipers were bad and needed to be replaced under warranty. So now I've got to wait 7 business days for the replacement calipers to be shipped from the US. Something to keep in mind folks... Cheers!!!!!!!!!

Hmmm, I used my parking brake for the first time this season (parked on a steep incline). Drove 20 kilometers home and the rear right wheel was blazing hot and stunk of the sweetest smell of burnt brake. I shall be calling my friendly dealer tomorrow (40 kilometers away) to find out what I should do. Obviously it's undrivable in this condition. I may pull the wheel off myself, fix it well enough to get it to the shop. Thanks for the info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waynerb66 Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 I just had the calipers and rotors and brake pads replaced at 22,000 kms. They said the calipers were defective. Make sure they change it all, as it really chews the rotors up pretty good. No charge for any of the above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
