Description of the problem	Hi my name is [xxx]. I'm writing this complaint on the basis of my 2012 dodge journey. I have had my 2012 dodge journey for 2 years and 3 months, and i have had to replace front brake pads and resurface rotors 3 times in 2 years. I've also had to replace rear brake pads and resurface rotors twice on the back 1 recently being 3 days ago and now i took it somewhere else because of noise in the front brakes and rotors and they said i need front calibers on both sides and brake hose on both sides, and a break fluid flush and need more brakes because they locked up at that place today also. I haven't even paid car payment this month and i've already paid 300 dollars for brake caliber on the truck and place i went to get a 2nd opion and they said i need 652. 85 dollars to get my front done and this is 2 days later after i got my back done. I have spent at least 3,000 dollars on this on going problems in the past 2 years. My 2012 dodge sucks and i need help. I'm getting me a lawyer and im filing all kind of complaints about this current problem that i dont have money to keep getting fixed. Also once my brakes locked up on the truck once at the dealership which was july 11, 2018 that cost 300 dollars. I live 30 minutes away from the dealership, i take i95 to and from the dealership, they were about to let me drive my truck back home but the brake had locked before they can give it back to me. Question what if i would've got in my truck and drove back home on i95 and my brake would have locked up??? Thanks information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
