  I think i got the lemon - 2012 Dodge Journey
  By Nicholas Burke - April 15 - 11:49 am

  I purchased my Dodge journey used, it hat 29,000KM on it in march of 2013. Since then its been to the shop more times than I can count. The transmission has been rebuilt twice, had two gears replaced, all seals replaced in the front axle, rear axle and rear dif. The front bearings have been replaced both left and right. Radio, power steering pump, and reservoir have been replaced. Its currently in for an exhaust leak. There is only 66,000KM on the car, its not even 4 years old yet. In service date is November of 2011. I still have issues with the transmission hard shifting or just not finding the right gear to be in.

  "Mommys New Car!" - 2012 Dodge Journey
  By mommy_hiccup - July 31 - 3:22 am

  This was our first "family" car, though wed had an SUV prior to this purchase. Its been a small adjustment, getting used to being lower to the ground and in a smaller vehicle (narrower than our old vehicle.) The price... its so-so for what you get.

  It only looks better than 09 (in my opinion) - 2012 Dodge Journey
  By ebonydm - March 29 - 9:42 pm

  I previously owned the 2009 Journey SXT. i thought I was upgrading getting the 2012. The sound system is not as good, the way the have it setup you have to keep factory radio & can not buy something better. Its definitely smaller on the inside. I miss little features like 1 touch up AND down window, the flashlight in the back, the aux jack being on radio, the extra leg room. And the plug on the back of the armrest is now cigarette lighter charger I hate that.
