  Good Journey - 2009 Dodge Journey
  By JR - December 4 - 9:20 pm

  Our Dodge Journey has been fun to drive. Recent recall not an issue with us. We are glad to have the issue fixed. We do not have children so our concerns are safety, fuel economy, and comfort while on the road. Fuel economy does me little good if I am too stiff to get out of my vehicle when I get to my destination. Chrysler has always had top notch interior comfort in my book.

  Doesnt brake well in the snow - 2009 Dodge Journey
  By Kathy - November 18 - 1:00 pm

  This is my second winter with my Journey and I make sure that I go to the store the day before a big snow. I do not feel safe driving this car in the snow. It doesnt brake well at all. Also, when I make sharp turns, it makes a horrible clunking sound. I read in one of these reviews that it is an engine mount problem. I have to drive my Journey real easy it seems. Wouldnt buy this car again and would not recommend it to anyone.

  Beware - 2009 Dodge Journey
  By Denise - November 2 - 2:26 pm

  This car has been nothing but headaches and stress. A ticking noise coming from the engine, per dealer rocker arms replace. Making same noise toke it back said Chrystal redesigned the rocker arms and replaced them again. Still making noise, per Chrystal this is the characteristic of the rocker arms and I have a life time powertain warranty. Thats crazy. Why would they redesign something to make the some noise?? I pursing the lemon law. FIX THE PROBLEM!!!

  Good value for the price - 2009 Dodge Journey
  By Mopar - October 29 - 5:43 am

  We traded in a Dodge Durango for this smaller SUV. I did have to take it in for a steering problem two days after I took delivery, they replaced the steering reservor and the streeing is great. No real complants, other than I am disappointed with the in town gas mileage.

  Nice car, but the brakes are terrible - 2009 Dodge Journey
  By concerned - October 21 - 6:33 pm

  My wife and I really like this car for all of the extra features and the nice ride. Weve had some problems though. The first issue was a clunking sound when the car made a sharp turn. Turns out the engine mount wasnt secured at the factory. Also, we had to replace the brakes at 12000 miles and Dodge wouldnt cover it. Set back over $160 for a repair that shouldnt be made for another 40,000 miles. Very upset about that, but the other features are great.

  very pleased!! - 2009 Dodge Journey
  By grear car - October 17 - 3:10 pm

  Have owned this veh. for 3 months and I just have to say I LOVE IT! just have very minor issues like one piece of trim needed replacement , just took it to the dealership for an oil change while there they did some tsbs on the harness , there was some squeaking noise coming from the left rear tire, turn out it was the emergency brake cable at the rear suspension just needed some spray lubricant and the noise is gone!The radio location makes sense when you have the NAV (REU) one can rest the hand on the shifted while using the nav controls. VERY PLEASED so far!

  Front brakes - 2009 Dodge Journey
  By TOMMY SMITH - September 27 - 3:30 pm

  This seem like a nice vehicle. But its had a lot of brake dust on the front wheels for a while. Now at 20,000 miles it is metal to metal on the left front wheel and the right front is very close. On top of that the day after I purchased this vehicle m&m Dodge went out of business & the nearest Dodge dealer is about 20 miles farther & they wont give a loaner while its being worked on plus they wont cover this anyway because there are no recalls. I have been a dealer mechanic in my earlier years. I am quality control person on vehicles that belong to the federal government & we have to make quality deficiency reports on poor performance. Dodge is not doing it. Shame shame!

  Just bought one - 2009 Dodge Journey
  By Mom - September 22 - 8:23 pm

  My husband and I just bought one tonight. Traded in our beloved Escape. So far I am happy, the kids like it (well, my son thinks we should have went for a Mustang GT--oh well). Affordably priced and there was a $1000 rebate on it. Fine family car, drives nice. It probably wont turn any heads but that is not what I am interested in anyway. If it gets me to ballgames and gymnastics meets safely then I am 100% satisfied.

  Do Not Put Yourself In this position. - 2009 Dodge Journey
  By Jennifer - August 16 - 11:36 pm

  I have had mine for less than 4 months and it has been serviced 13 times and have been in the shop a total of 28 days (accumulative). It made a noise when turning left, which took them forever to figure out, the windshield made a buzzing sound on the interstate, the dashboard rattled, the back vents didnt work on low. So I have had a new power steering pump, new brakes, new shocks, new rotors, a new blower switch, 2 new cal panels, a part in the dashboard, a new air conditioning belt, and 5 new tires, which made the gas mileage worse. Heres the kicker, the steering wheel vibrates as well as the driver and passenger seat vibrates and they cannot fix it. DO not buy one of these.
