2012 Dodge JOURNEY Service Brakes Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1379858
Internal NHTSA #	10991180
Manufacurer	Chrysler (FCA US LLC)
Brand	DODGE
Model	JOURNEY
Model Year	2012
File date	21/05/17
Component	SERVICE BRAKES
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	The brake warning light, abs warning light and traction control warning lights come on randomly. Sometimes the brakes fail to engage when the abs light is lit and the vehicle makes a weird noise (sounds like grinding sound). Yesterday my wife was unable to stop at a traffic signal and went through a red light when the brakes would not work. This model and year are under a recall r61 (hhtsa 15v675000) but chrysler support says our vin is not covered. Turns out that the manufacture date of our car is about 6 months prior to the reported recall manufacturing dates. This is a dangerous situation that they refuse to even look at or diagnose without charging us to do so. It does not take a rocket scientist to see that our vehicle is exhibiting the exact same problems and symptoms as detailed in the above recall. I guess they want someone to die before taking action. It is my understanding that safety items like abs are covered for 5 yrs or 100000 miles and our vehicle is under that description as it has 86,000 miles and was built 10/2011

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
