  • Bad Breaks on the Dodge Journey - 2009 Dodge Journey
    By -

    Like so many other Dodge owners I have had to replace my breaks at 9,000 miles. It was NOT covered by Warranty so I had to pay out of pocket. One month later the same front breaks began to make terrible squeaking noises again. I had to take it back to the mechanic two more times and eventually had to have the rotors cut. Im sure this is not the end of my break problems but just the begining. When is Dodge going to recall the breaks??????

  • Made in Mexico - 2009 Dodge Journey
    By -

    My Journey has less than 2000 miles and it already has been to the dealership to get serviced for a broken left visor, my drivers side of the dashboard makes noise and my MPG is 12, my rear bumper on the drivers side is not even like the passenger side. This car is a true lemon please dont buy it, is my first American and my last one.

  • dont buy this one - 2009 Dodge Journey
    By -

    All I can say is dont ever buy a dodge journey. I have had the worst experience with this car. Its been in the shop four times and Im still having problems. Check engine light has come on three times. The wire harness in my engine has been repaired. Ive had three O2 sensors replaced and Ive had continuous transmission problems that Chrysler engineers are supposedly working on. I got a lemon. I hate my vehicle. Dont buy dodge!

  • Love our Dodge Journey - 2009 Dodge Journey
    By -

    Recently purchased the 2009 Dodge Journey at Genesee Country Dodge- Chrysler in Avon, NY. We traded in our 2002 T&C (that my wife hated to depart with) but, in just one day she forgot about the mini van and loves the new Journey. Price, comfort, style and Lifetime Warranty are all excellent!

  • Better than the Liberty or Nitro - 2009 Dodge Journey
    By -

    Was this or the Nitro (Liberty). The Journey is quieter, drives smoother and has far more features. No contest.

  • Brakes & Rotors Out After 18 Months! - 2009 Dodge Journey
    By -

    I just read all the reviews and wish I had BEFORE we bought this car... I have accepted the minor problems (broken visor, inconvenience of early recalls, and panic alarm going off when using the keyless entry); but the expense incurred for brakes and rotors going out after 18 months is just NOT acceptable! And to be told it is a "normal wear and tear" problem not covered by warranty adds insult to injury. I wish dodge understood that people buy new because they dont want to deal with these types of problems. I dont know how to do it, but I am hoping someone reads this and know how to get a recall effort going because this is seriously concerning!

  • Good vehicle for the price - 2009 Dodge Journey
    By -

    I have a had my Journey for a year now and so far, no problems at all. It is a comfortable ride, reliable, reasonable gas mileage for its size, lots of storage and plenty of leg room for back seat passengers. Quiet, and has good visibility when changing lanes.

  • Cant get fixed - 2009 Dodge Journey
    By -

    Decent car but cant get fixed. Dealer says cant get parts due to Dodge bankruptcy. Car in shop almost 3 weeks. Wont give loaner. Contacted Dodge and they will get back to me in 3 or 4 days. This is my first Dodge and it will be my last.

  • A little soggy - 2009 Dodge Journey
    By -

    I have had my Dodge Journey for a Year and love the car. It had been raining all day on Sunday and when my husband and I went to take friends out to dinner, the passengar side in the front was flooded with water. You could see where it looked like it ran down the door. Windows and door where shut tight and the overhead console when I turned the corner, had water running out as well. Have an appointment on Thursday. Hopefully, the car will not start to smell and they fix the problem. Will see how it turns out. Also, the car could get a little better gas mileage. Its almost like to much car for the size engine.
