Best choice for our family - 2009 Dodge Journey
By seveninavan - January 12 - 7:03 pmOverall, we have had a fantastic experience with our Journey. One minor trim problem that was corrected quickly. Love the seating configuration for our five children. Easy access to back row. Comfortable ride. Plenty of power. Traded in my Grand Caravan for this. With luggage rack and lots of neat storage, we love it! The seats fold down easily for hauling all kinds of stuff. Be careful of 90° opening rear doors...tend to bang other cars in garage or parking lot. Love the Sirius radio and climate control! So much better than our Honda Odyssey (yes, I know...but we NEEDED one 8- passenger vehicle and the domestic options are so limited). LOVE this car! And out the door for $19000.

brakes and dust on beautiful wheel cover - 2009 Dodge Journey
By john myers - December 24 - 2:30 pmWe like our vehicle and it handles well. Hosweer, we have contacted several dealers in our area regarding the brakes catching and the brake dust on our wheel covers. We were told that this is normal. Why would you put beauktiful wheel ocers if they are covered with black dust all thetime. We also purchsed a extended warranty and not one dealer is will to fix this problem. We had an intriped some time ago and got the same runn around. We are very sorry we purchased this car. We thought Chrysler had improved its service. We were wrong.

Horrible Brakes - 2009 Dodge Journey
By jon - December 12 - 9:20 amDo Not Buy a Dodge Journey!!! At 13000 miles I had to replace the front brakes. At 19000 miles I had to replace the front brakes again as well as the rotors. Chrysler is doing nothing about it. The dealer says that its normal. No it is not!!! I have owned numerous cars and have never had to replace any brakes before hitting 50,000 miles. I loved the car at first for the features and the ride, but the brake issues have destroyed everything. Do Not Buy a Dodge Journey!!! You will regret it!!!

Wish I Never Traded - 2009 Dodge Journey
By Terry - November 26 - 1:46 amSteering pump went out very quickly. Had to stay with dealer 3 days no loaner. Dash has too much plastic, pops and cracks all the time. A/C acts crazy, makes funny air noises on take off and drain stopped up which flooded passenger floor on 6 hour trip. Transmission cannot find proper gear. 6 speed shifts up and down all the time, manual mode is a laugh. Tail pipe rubbing making funny noise. Dealer no help, service adviser had never been inside one. Worst new car I have owned. Have other issues but not enough space to tell them all. Think I got a Lemon.

Minor Problems - 2009 Dodge Journey
By ray - November 4 - 7:06 pmGreat handling, good looks, lots of storage, has many of the same features our Chev. Impala had. Gas mileage is around 22 MPG IN THE CITY. WE HAVE TWO PROBLEMS: the air conditioner is making a whistling noise when it reaches 55 mph. Just started making a noise when turning left. so far the dealership has been great to work with.

great ride - 2009 Dodge Journey
By imaso001 - November 3 - 11:40 amThe ride on this suv is amazing. The R/T has a performance suspension and it is well worth getting. The suv hugs the corners and stays steady through out and handles rough roads easily. Has a very quiet ride at high speeds as well. The V6 mated to the 6 speed auto works great together. Dont get the 4 it is underpowered The drive train provides plenty of power and the 6 speed shifts up and down smooth. The third row seat came in handy when my nephews rode to town with us. DVD system kept all 4 kids entertained and the sound quality with the infinity system is excellent. I have had the car for a month now and can find nothing negative to say about it. You can do anything with the MYGIG system

Dodge Journey SXT AWD loaded - 2009 Dodge Journey
By Jeff - October 24 - 12:03 amI like this midsized SUV alot, Tows 3,500 lbs None of the others in its class are capable of towing at all not even recommended for a bicycle rack! I would have preferred a top chrome cross bar on the grill, I have rally raced it and won every time against all the usual rally cars - Suvs, I do not know why they offer a four cylinder engine in the SE model, anyone one who buys with the four and than complains about power and some of the lower priced trim do not have anyone to blame but themselves
