2010 Dodge Journey Wheels Problems

“I went to have the tires rotated because I was having a person replace the brakes and he couldn't get the tires off. They were cemented to the wheel well. Which in itself is a safety issue. If I would have had a flat tire on the road, I would not have been able to change the tire and been stuck on the side of the road. Took the vehicle to have the tires rotated, they broke off one of the studs that hold on the lug nuts. …”

“I was driving and my tire blew out, I was told that it was because the tire pressure monitoring system was corroded, cracked and split in half. Upon checking of all my tires, all of them are cracked and corroded. On the tire that blew the stem was totally split in half. This is a huge safety issue, they changed to plastic in the 2011 Journey's. We bought the car 1 1/2 months ago as a certified used car.”

“Low air came on then found out the tire pressure monitoring system sensor nut was cracked on right rear wheel and the valve stem cracked on left rear wheel. Called two Dodge dealers and I was told I would have replace the entire sensor at a cost of $130 each, and they are replacing them with a new sensor with a rubber valve for the same reason I'm having. They told me the aluminum parts(stem and nut) are corroding fast causing breakage or cracks. My vehicle is out of warranty with just over 33k miles but more than 36 months. …”

“While driving my vehicle on a long distance road trip, which I do quite often, the steering wheel began to vibrate as I was decreasing the speed from 65 miles per hour. I have since had my tires replaced and the TPMS on one of my wheels became corroded. The problem still persisted. I had my back brakes replaced, the problem still persisted. I had my wheels aligned, the problem still persisted. My mechanic is currently replacing the axle along with my front brakes. Hopefully, this fixes the problem. My daughter is in college and my family and I will be making 8 hour road trips often. …”

“The problem I encountered was that the steering wheel shakes violently if brakes are pressed at 60 MPH. The mechanics at carmax, machined the rotors and replaced the brake pads which seemed to fix the problem. Roughly 3.5 to 4 months later, I had the same problem. This time, the mechanics at carmax replaced the rotors and the front brakes. The vehicle was once again placed into service last wednesday on december 18, 2013. Once again, the rotors were machined and the brakes replaced. I purchased the vehicle o january 17, 2013 with the starting mileage of 34,904. …”
