transmission trouble - 2009 Dodge Journey
By jmm - June 9 - 2:43 amWe had the Journey one day and every time we braked the car would feel like it jumped into another gear. To make a long story short, the car had less than 300 miles and the transmission needs to be replaced. Yes, that is right. We requested the dealer please just give us a new vehicle but they explained since it was already titled in our name they cant. We were assured they have the top service center at this dealership. Very dissappointed and upset.

Brakes! UGH - 2009 Dodge Journey
By Amy - May 16 - 7:46 pmI bought my Journey in June of 2009. Loved it thought it was really nice and had lots of cool features. At 7k brakes and rotors replaced. Now with 19k the brakes and rotors need to be replaced again at my own expence. ARE YOU SERIOUS!!! Ok Chrysler has a serious problem here. They need to either make quality products for these cars or quit selling them! I am sensing a pattern that I am NOT happy with. Want to get rid of it now!

What a Journey - 2009 Dodge Journey
By Chris Hussey - April 13 - 8:40 pmThe Journey was the answer to all our questions. We didnt want a minivan, but wanted something with optional seating for 7. Lambdas were too big and too expensive. Love the design. Love the storage options. Fuel economy on a recent trip averaged 24.5, mixed city and highway, and I have the 3.5 V6. Built in booster seats are perfect for our two girls. It has plenty of power when you need it and handles great. Hanling is tight. Love the 19" wheels and the MyGig. Only negative is the huge blind spot, but I bought some spot mirrors and the problem was solved. I recommend everyone give this vehicle a chance. Dodge was right on target with the Journey.

I with the other worst car i ever bought - 2009 Dodge Journey
By Julie - March 25 - 7:53 pmone year old, new radio replaced, new brakes and rotars, mirrors replaced, strips on door entry, break lights and tail lights fixed twice, i guess can figure out problem because out again with no tail lights and the dealer can seem to fing the urgent issue even though i am driving around with my kids in the car, sure i will wait another week again for the past few month to get my car in to have it looked at. and trans in slipping at time, oh they cant never feel anything when they drive it around the parking lot and if that not enough 5 complaint that when turn in or out of a parkinspot, driveway loud noise, sound like a pump prb, and the response ikeep gettingis all new cars sound like that

Happy Journey - 2009 Dodge Journey
By Cameron - March 13 - 12:06 pmI now have 15,000km on my dodge journey SE. So far, so good. The 4 banger is not that powerful but I did get it for the gas mileage (which is great on highway!). Still has pick-up and I dont find it too noisey. Curious how it will be long term though. I am happy with the Journey and will let you all know if problems start.

Should have asked a driver - 2009 Dodge Journey
By Acajin - March 1 - 12:20 pmThis is a company vehicle, my last vehicle was a 2004 Dodge Caravan (which I loved). Ive only had it 2 weeks and so far so good. Ive just come back from a 1000Km trip and liked the feel and quietness of this vehicle on the highway. Handling is good, ride is a bit harsh, but Im assuming thats because of the winter tires. My biggest complaint about this vehicle (to date) is the way it was designed to handle dirty road conditions in winter, ie. salt. First off the rear window wiper only wipes about a 135deg sweep. The wiper pivot is on the wrong side leaving a 45deg swath of dirty window right where you would normally be looking to find where a car should be when passing it.

Brand New Junk - 2009 Dodge Journey
By geri - February 27 - 11:36 amWhat an embarrassment. I really got took on this and now that I want to trade it in, I find out that its not worth anything. The seat broke, the mirror cover broke. You cant breath on the seats without staining them. I have never hated a car like I do this one and I had a Chevette once. The Chevette had more power. Need I say more?

Dont Waste your money - 2009 Dodge Journey
By Darla - February 11 - 8:06 amThis is the worst car i have ever bought. After 20,000 miles i have had to replace the brakes. I took it into the dealership today because the check engine light came and I need to have the breaks done again. The seats stain like crazy. This is not a good car for little kids. My son spilled a soda in the seat and now it is stained and i cant get it out. I definitely dont recommend this car.

Not loving this car anymore! - 2009 Dodge Journey
By Mindy - February 7 - 1:53 pmI loved it when I saw it-even though the inside is mostly plastic. It has been almost 2 months since I purchased it and my service engine light has been on for 3 days. My ESP (stabilizer) keeps coming on and I am getting a message to change the oil already, I only have 2650 miles on the car.I knew it was a risk buying a brand new model but my husband insisted we buy this because the gas mileage was supposed to be decent-I really wanted a Jeep before we saw the Journey.It is a nice looking vehicle and when it runs properly its great but I am concerned that there will be more trips to the dealer than we expected.

Happy Family - 2009 Dodge Journey
By Tracy K - January 24 - 6:06 pmWe purchased the Journey R/T AWD and we are so very happy with it. Its sporty, handles well, has lots of room and storage. We bought one with all the bells and whistles and are having fun with it. My kids love the DVD player and the temp control in the back.
