Consumer Description

I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MY VEHICLE. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE BRAKES 3 TIMES AND AM GOING TO NEED TO REPLACE THEM AGAIN. I ONLY HAVE 26,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. I KNOW THE "SWEEP" AREA IS INSUFFICIENT FOR THE WEIGHT OF MY VEHICLE FROM WHAT RESEARCH I HAVE DONE. I AM WORRIED THAT THE BRAKES MIGHT FAIL WITH MY KIDS IN THE CAR OR ON THE FREEWAY. I KNOW I'M NOT THE ONLY OWNERS TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM. IT IS A PERSISTENT PROBLEM AMONG DODGE JOURNEY OWNERS. *JS
