Brake wear on other Journey years
Report counts are for each model year on its own, so a newer car has had less time to collect them. Model years with too few reports of it for a sheet: 2017, 2019.
What this problem usually is
Brake reports cover a wide spread of symptoms. Grinding or squealing is common, and so is a pulsing pedal or a shake through the car when stopping. Others describe pads and rotors worn out long before they expected, a brake warning light, or a pedal that goes soft or sinks toward the floor. The most serious ones say the car didn't stop in time.
What got replaced
Owners who name the part that was replaced mention the ABS module (42 reports) and the pads and rotors (3 reports).
Recalls and investigations
No recall on the brakes covers the 2014 model year as of Oct 2, 2026.
What owners paid
5 of the 83 reports quote a price. Each dot is one quote. The middle half runs $180 to $600.
When it happens
The middle half of failures fell between 23,000 and 101,992 miles, from the 44 reports that gave a mileage.
What owners wrote
“In May after tires rotated the abs warning lights started coming on took my dodge journey back to dealership they analyze it and found it was the abs system but there was no part to order to repair the system.”

“Under heavy braking conditions the vehicles ABS system did not engage and the vehicle slid losing control. There was a safety recall R61 which was documented as completed 20 May 2016, but inspection of the ABS ground wire shows it in its original position when compared to page 18 of the recall instruction. There has been no work on the ABS module since the recall.”

Should you keep driving it?
This page can't tell you that. 8 of 83 reports involved a crash and 7 people were hurt. Owners who file are the ones who had a bad experience, and nobody checks their reports. If the problem affects steering, braking, power or a fire risk, treat it as a safety fault and have it inspected before a long or high-speed drive.
File your own report with NHTSA. Complaint counts are how a problem gets an investigation. How reports land on this sheet.
