Good car bad problems - 2009 Dodge Journey
By wanda - October 17 - 3:10 pmI like most of the interior features, the only things I have a problem with are, the air conditioner has a slow cool down when car is started. Also I have a touch screen dvd stereo, why put a dvd player on console if u cant see dvd while driving I would have preferred in in the back so kids could see it I have two seater no 3rd row seats. No air in back only from vents in front I can have floor storage but cant have back air? also fabric is White or light colors, they should use less light and more darks colors, even for grownups White is too hard to keep clean, my brakes sound funny when stopping, and have a lot of residue from brakes. I like the ride, less noisy just want better gas mileage20 hwy

Sweet - 2009 Dodge Journey
By SAW - September 26 - 7:46 pmOverall very happy with our purchase of this vehicle. So many bells and whistles its hard to keep my eyes on the road. Very comfortable, plenty of space, love the third row seating. Handles well, great on road trips. Gas mileage is very good, all in all a super family car that we are very happy about.

New brakes at 20,000 - 2009 Dodge Journey
By Jerene - September 7 - 11:23 amI also needed new brakes and rotors at 20,000. Normal wear and tear?? I think not. Now the low tire pressure light is flashing... the tire pressure is fine. Im totally aggravated I have to go back so soon after the brakes to have this looked at. Im disappointed to say the least.

My New Journey Is In !!! - 2009 Dodge Journey
By Rockfsh32 - August 4 - 10:16 amMy loaded R/T finally arrived on 02Mar09!!! - beautiful. After thinking I wanted an SXT, my wife convinced me to move up to the R/T, its great! Much nicer interior, and the subtle chrome is a nice touch. This car drives/rides like a dream. Eats up the bumps and road noise. The leather seats are surprisingly comfortable. Love the satellite radio, dont know how I lived without it if for all these years. I havent noticed any of the problems people have been complaining about on other feedback sites. Im getting used to the stereo location. I think it would have been more distracting if it were up higher (thats why I didnt get GPS). Well so far so good. Ill report more as I log more miles.

Disappointed - 2009 Dodge Journey
By Disappointed - July 28 - 2:16 pmMY wife loved the Dodge Journey. She has hip problems and it was easy for her to get in and out of.However, we have had it into the dealership several times and I am bringing it in tomorrow again.Loud noise when turning left. This was resolved by dealership. Sometimes when backing up the transmission slams into gear. The first time I heard It I thought we were rear ended. Dealership cannot find the problem, because it only does it on occassion.When going down the road and exceeding 55 mph. front end shakes. Does not do all the time so it is hard for dealership to correct. We are taking in tomorrow for a recall on brake sensor. Not a problem now but it could be. Gas mileage is poor also.

Great in snow - 2009 Dodge Journey
By Dianag - July 18 - 5:33 amWe down sized from Infinity Q-56 to this Dodge Journey because we travel up to the Adirondacks every winter weekend and needed a car that was good in the snow-yet good on gas. The Journey is amazing in the snow and has never let us down. We are very happy with the get up and go that this car has. Another plus, is the amount of room this car offers, especially with the seats folded down. We often have our 3 dogs and our grandson with us and there is plenty of room. The only thing I really dont like is that the Nav screen needs to have a control on it-because its too bright at night and during the day you can not see it if you dont manually adjust it by going into settings.

Love my new Journey! - 2009 Dodge Journey
By Miguel G - July 7 - 11:33 pmBefore buying my SXT Journey with 3 row seating went and checked the Equinox, Outlander, Santa Fe, and Explorer. We went back to the Dodge dealer and we loved it since the test drive. The interior is modern, its fun to drive, love the touchscreen radio (though its placement is a little weird, but you get used to it). Love all the compartments and the fuel efficiency. For us, it has been a great buy.

Amazing value with some uncertainties - 2009 Dodge Journey
By jmjenn - May 18 - 7:33 pmLeap for the V6 and the AWD with performance suspension. You will not find a better value for towing, passenger capabilities and comfort with an AWD feature amongst any of its competitors. There is a glaring difference in the vehicle performance with either the 4-cyl or just the standard FWD/suspension unit. All around solid and have not had any significant quality or performance issues the first 3000 miles. V6 with AWD will now only be available on the 2010 R/Ts. Model will be cannibalized by upcoming Durango and Jeep Grand Cherokee as they are heading into the CUV platform. As Iacocca used to say, "If you can find a better car, buy it".

Worst new car ever! - 2009 Dodge Journey
By T - April 27 - 12:56 pmWithin the first few months the thing that squirts windshield wiper fluid broke (twice), the stick that holds up the hood broke (dangerous!), and both cover over the visor mirrors broke off. I need to replace a tire and it was extremely difficult to locate a Kumho. After 2 years I needed to replace all 4 tires at $250 apiece. And the brakes needed replacing. The stain resistant seats are not stain resistant. Still had 3 years left on my loan - took a loss and traded that sucky lemon in!
