Dont Drive in the Snow! - 2009 Dodge Journey
By BBD - April 22 - 3:36 amI got my Journey in July 2009 and absolutely loved it until winter came. This car does not do well in snow or ice. I have gotten stuck 3 times this winter in just a light dusting of snow because of the front wheel drive traction control. We were parked on a small incline and it was a little slick and the wheels just spun. My husband had to get out and push until we got come traction. Also I was going through an S-curve and the road was again lightly dusted with snow and the back end started to swing around on me. I turned the wheel back the other way and it started coming back around the opposite direction until I came to the stop sign where the snow plow had salted the road.

Hope the new ones are better than 09 - 2009 Dodge Journey
By tess - April 17 - 3:26 pmNeeded to replace a tire and it was the biggest pain to find one. Needed all new tires after 2 years @ $250 apiece. The thing that squirts windshield wiper fluid out broke - twice. The stick that holds up the hood broke off right away. Both visor mirror covers broke off. Brakes needed replacing. All within 2 years! Crummiest new car experience ever.

Brakes/Rotors - 2009 Dodge Journey
By April C - April 17 - 12:46 amI brought my car brand spanking new 2 whole miles on it. This Dodge Journey has given me nothing but trouble, at 21,000 brakes and rotors are completely gone?! Now I am researching and many people have the same problems. The dealers state that it is normal, no that it is not. There is a defect somewhere and somebody needs to do something about it.

its not a JEEP - 2009 Dodge Journey
By dojodriver09 - March 29 - 10:46 pmGot this ride last year when my lease was almost up. For a long time felt like I had traded DOWN from the Grand Cherokee.. I still feel that way BUT when gas was over four bucks a gallon I was smiling at my Improved mileage. I was a bit worried about what it would do in snow since I couldnt find meatier tires. I have to say it went every bit as good at the GC and I was even going thru snow on roads that werent even plowed this past winter. When I got home I had snow caked in the grill.. So I guess I will live with it for another 24 months and see whats available when this lease is up. There arent that many on the road where I live.

The worst vehicle ever! - 2009 Dodge Journey
By Cheryl - March 18 - 2:23 pmI have owned my vehicle for approximately 11 months and my car has been in the shop more days than I can count. Everything that has been mentioned in the other negative reviews has happened to my vehicle. My car acts like it is going to die on a regular basis and the dealership cant find the problem. My radio decides to stop working for no reason. My strut tower was not bolted in. Nice workmanship!! My door locks decide when they will work. Some days the locks will work and some days they wont. I have nothing nice to say about the vehicle or the dealership!!! I do not feel safe driving this vehicle!! Stay away from the dodge product!

Ride of our LIFE - 2009 Dodge Journey
By Ride of our LIFE - March 14 - 6:46 pmMy family and I think it is an awesome vehicle. Wasnt too sure at first but I really like it now. Glad we bought it now.I really like the quiet smooth ride. My husband loves the sunroof and the fog lights. I think overall it is a great start to what could be an awesome vehicle if they just make a few changes.

Great value, very good vehicle - 2009 Dodge Journey
By former GM guy - March 9 - 12:00 pmWeve have about 16,000 on the Journey now and still love it as much as we did when it was brand new. Great road vehicle, innovative interior. One issue, the groaning steering was a recall that was promptly fixed.

Love it.. - 2009 Dodge Journey
By Chrysler Baby - February 26 - 2:33 amWhen I went to purchase my car, I was looking at a used Pacifica but saw this and decided to test drive it. It sits high enough that I can see things but low enough that my older mother can get in w/o any problem. I drive a lot of highway miles and there is very little road noise which is wonderful! I love the eletrical plug in too! Makes it great to have a Wii plugged in for my son on our long trips back and forth to Grandmas.

Enjoying my Journey - 2009 Dodge Journey
By Angela - February 13 - 7:33 pmJust got my Journey one week ago but I love it. I am a little upset over buying the convience group II and buying the third row seating and finding out that the cargo cover that is included in the convience group II does not come with it if you get 3rd row of seats. Why do they offer both and not list the exception. It is a rip off! I also ordered mine with a $500 owner loyality rebate but they would not give it to me when the vehicle came in. I think this is a breech of contract but I am investing both of these. I bought the first Journey this dealership sold and they were not aware of the cargo cover not being able to be installed with 3rd row seating till I ask about it.

Very Happy - 2009 Dodge Journey
By Craig - December 29 - 7:56 amThe ride with the appearance group/sports suspension is so smooth and quiet. The engine seems well mated with the six speed auto and once again is very quiet. I also like the drivers seat. I have manual lumbar, power adjusting seat, tilt telescoping steering wheel. The adjustments are almost endless.
