A pulsation may be felt in the brake pedal or steering wheel on brake application. This is commonly caused by warped brake rotors. The front rotors are commonly at fault but the rears should be checked also. Warped rotors will need to be re-machined or replaced to correct this concern.

    Our Journey has been in the shop six times for brake problems, it started around 5000 miles, and has been back about every 5-6000 miles for the same thing. They have replaced the pads and rotors, but it seems to be a vicious circle. If you have this problem make sure even though you may be out of warranty to contact the corporate office about this problem. They have replaced ours each time at there cost. One more time, and Chrysler can have the vehicle back. Very disappointed with this vehicle.

    Dealer acknowledges warped rotors and subsequent worn pads, but considers this normal wear and tear.

    The rotors on my car have been warped since I purchased the car. I purchased extended warranties on my car, so in theory, the rotors should be replaced. However, the dealership doesn't believe this is the case. I had to replace my front brakes at 24595 miles, and again at 46000 miles.

    Prematurely worn pads and warped brake rotors on front wheels with heavy vibration and poor braking distance. Replaced rotors and pads with aftermarket quality pads and vented heavy duty rotors for performance use with cooling slots. Braking distance improved by 30% from new with no fade. Have more than 38000 miles on current aftermarket brake job with over 60% of pad material left and rotors are like new.

    First took my 09 journey to my dealer in Hillsdale Mi at about 18,000 miles and was told the terrible grinding noise and vibration especially when braking in snow was normal. Have continued with this problem whenever braking and recently told rotars and pads need replacing. They should have taken care of this problem before.
