 My complaint consists of the tires, starter, and pressure sensors on my 2009 dodge journey. first, the cheapest tires my dealer can find for my vehicle are priced at $225/tire. thus, a $1000.00 cost for tire replacement. this would be reasonable if the vehicle was a luxury vehicle i.e.: audi, bmw, cadilac, mercedes, etc... however, it is a dodge. i have had to replace my dodge's tires every winter since purchase. therefore, these performance tires are only lasting approximately 20,000/miles a piece. affordability, is why i purchased dodge. i am not recieving this, not even in the basic maintenance of tires. next, my starter had to be replaced recently. i was told that many dodge journey starters are going. however, with no recall on the part, i ended up paying a $100.00 towards a deductable that is part of my warranty. finally, i had to replace two tire sensors as well on my vehicle this year. again, no recall on the part. therefore, a $100.00 deductable was required. i am disappointed that despite my warranty i am paying deductables and despite other numerous journeys having the same problems the parts aren't being recalled. i am forced to spend $1000.00 on tires every 20,000 miles on top of my actual monthly car payment >$500.00. the above expenses should definitely not be required on a brand new car.

 Have had a 2009 journey since august 2008. at about the one-year mark, the vehicle began an odd noise when turning hard left. the dealer replaced a ps reservoir, but the noise is still often evident. *tr
