  • Not a happy camper - 2009 Dodge Journey
    By -

    I purchased my 2009 Journey in Sept. of 2008. I had 13,000.00 mile on the car when my breaks went. The dealership said they are not covered. My driver side heat seat burns my back and doesnt heat your butt. While driving I heard a huge bang like I hit something and then the heat seat (drivers) stopped working. My car wont go over 45mph, it was putting and when I got to the dealership they told me it was fine.This is bull crap! Passenger side window does not go up from the drivers side button. Its ok for them to sell you the car but they dont want to cover anything. this is why I bought a brand new car so I wouldnt have problems. thats all I have. seat fabric is horrible.oil lt. always on

  • BAD BRAKES AND ROTORS - 2009 Dodge Journey
    By -

    my brake pads and rotors went at 16,500 miles. Both front rotors were warped causing me to need replacement. the dealer told me that there was nothing that they could do because the warranty was 12/12 on brakes. i called HQ and they said that until there is a recall I would have to pay for the repairs and that there was nothing that they could do for me. I was told by one of their mechanics that they are using inferior brake components to keep production costs down. If a recall comes out then I could get re- embursed for the brake job at that time. I am not going to buy out the lease now. They are getting this piece of crap back and going foreign. DONT BUY THIS VEHICLE!

  • bEST CAR i HAVE EVER OWNED - 2009 Dodge Journey
    By -

    I cant believe Chrysler is thinking of doing away with this vehicle. This is the best car I have ever owned. I was always a GM person, being retired from there. But Gm cant come close to the Journey for the same price. Their Travers costs about $10,000 more than the Journey. The excutives better rethink their decision to deep six the Journey. maybe they should do away with the Nitro and the Jeep Patriot instead of the Journey. If they do go ahead and discontinue the Journey I can see why the are the most disfunctional car company in the world. Maybe they should fire some of the excutives that are making these decisions. Why dont they advertise this gem instead their lousy trucks.

  • Very Nice SUV - 2009 Dodge Journey
    By -

    Very nice SUV so far, have owned it for 4 days. Love the style, features, and performance. I purchased several additional options to include Rear DVD, MyGig system, chrome package with performance suspension & steering, pwr sunroof, back-up camera, and the list goes on. Lifetime powertrain warranty is included! Me and my wife really like this new vehicle. Also, lots of storage and we have 7 pass seating.

  • what a mistake - 2009 Dodge Journey
    By -

    Where to start. I have had my Journey for 18 months. My seats stain from rain or water, My breaks and rotors just went after 20,000 miles. My pass. window doesnt always work. My front sensor has been replaced. I have a 2009 car and you would think that I would want to show it off but I am embarrassed to have any one ride with me- the seats are horrible!!!!! Want to trade it in on something better!

  • Best car so far - 2009 Dodge Journey
    By -

    I love my new car. Had it for three months now and so far i have been well pleased.

  • Bad in Snow - 2009 Dodge Journey
    By -

    I traded in my Dodge Minivan for this vehicle because I wanted something a bit smaller and more stylish. I love the way this car looks and is quite roomy BUT I was VERY dissappointed this winter with how the thing handled in the snow. There were seveal times that I almost didnt make it up some of the hills where I live. I thought it may have been my tires - but when I went to the tire dealership, they said my tires were fine! Also, the seats show everything which isnt good when you have small kids and a dog!

  • Brakes are crappy - 2009 Dodge Journey
    By -

    year and a half in and Ive already had to replace the pads and rotors...absolutely not acceptable but the warranty doesnt cover it. Do not purchase this vehicle as it will cost you way more in the long run than a well built import...sorry to say it but its true
