  Downsizing to a Journey - 2009 Dodge Journey
  By inuvik - December 17 - 4:33 am

  We traded our 2007 Dodge MegaCab in on the Journey. We wanted something smaller that still had all wheel drive, could tow 3000 lbs or more and could seat 5 comfortably. The Journey meets all of those qualifications. Its extremely quiet at highway speeds and has been delivering good highway mileage, 24-25MPG. We love all of the storage, the transmission shifts smooth, and really enjoy sirius satellite radio. All in all, we are very happy with our purchase.

  Poor Paint and loud interior noise - 2009 Dodge Journey
  By Lynda Wood Favre - December 6 - 9:53 pm

  I love my Journey, dont get me wrong, BUT I have had to have the drivers mirror replaced once already due to peeling paint. Now, its peeling off again. AND, the passenger side mirror paint is starting to peel! Another problem is when you are driving and roll the rear window (s) down a bit, it sounds like youre in a helicopter! The noise is terrible! Wonderful car, just a few quirks!

  Overall a Great Value - 2009 Dodge Journey
  By Bear - November 21 - 4:46 pm

  I commute 85 miles each way daily, so I need a solid vehicle and so far, the Journey R/T AWD does the job well. I am also a big guy...long legs, broad shoulders. Although I wish the seat were larger, I must admit that overall, the car is very roomy, even with the sunroof. Far more room than my 2005 Chevy Trailblazer. There is a TON of room for the 3rd row of seats that I did not take and lots of storage. Still learning all the features including voice commands! Great value for the $$$ spent. CVT tranny is cool too.

  Great price - 2009 Dodge Journey
  By brandon - October 17 - 9:10 am

  The engine is fine getting around with amazing jump and even highways but when in upstate New York and the steep hills, I had to hold the pedal to the floor to get decent pick-up. Handles great on sharp turns. Radical gated shifter that leans down when in park is the easiest gated shifter to use and does not move into another gear if hit into easily. Interior is amazing with the YES essentials stain resistant cloth and DVD players and built-in booster seats. Great value and looks

  2009 SXT Dodge Journey - 2009 Dodge Journey
  By Rich Gordon - October 7 - 9:13 pm

  Ordered it from dealer. Got the SXT with all of the options at 3000 less than an RT. Hi Quality SUV for a low price. Good "value" car. 24mpg on the Highway, 18 in town. Super Crash rating, quiet, and comfortable. 20000 miles on it and absolutely no problems. High Tech car on inside. Would definitely buy it again.

  Second review - 2009 Dodge Journey
  By KBA - October 4 - 5:26 pm

  I wrote a review in June of 08 and have had some problems since. The driver seat shimmys and the dealer doesnt seem to feel it. It also had a tapping noise coming from the engine. Brought it in and they had it for 3 days. Said there was a recall on tabs for the rocker arms.They put these tabs in and it didnt solve the problem.They ended up replacing the rocker arms.I have also had a prolbem with the express window feature on the driver side not working, and the doors auto locking on there own once Ive closed the doors. Ive been locked out twice. Really thinking this car wasnt the best choice. I now know why the give a lifetime powertrain warranty.

  So Far, So Good - 2009 Dodge Journey
  By New Dodge Guy - September 8 - 4:20 pm

  Im up to 7k miles on the Journey. So Far this car has been great! I was considering a Murano and after a friend bought one and had many issues, I started looking at other options. Came across this vehicle and the price/options/warranty that it offered were too good to pass up. The storage in this vehicle is awesome! Very comfortable seats for longer rides.

  Why not more??? - 2009 Dodge Journey
  By Yvonne from Vegas - August 15 - 9:20 am

  My main complaint is its a wimpy V6. Now maybe Im used to the bigger Cummins Diesel power, but this thing needs a little more juice, and the gear ratio makes shifting a full time job when traveling & doing hills. If you want the best performance, you MUST shift manually, and that gets tiring, after all, I bought an automatic! I think they could have done better. I also think the passenger side seat should be power also. The ride is very comfortable, my husband finds it almost impossible to stay awake when we are traveling, thus, I end up doing all the driving! For the price, I love the car, will I keep it? Probably not after 2 years.

  Regret - 2009 Dodge Journey
  By swade - July 16 - 12:13 am

  I had my car for a year and started having issues with it. It gets terrible gas milage. Had to have new break and rotors, new water pump, now the heater is being fixed. Not to mention all the "little" issues. Worste car I have ever purchased. The gas milage is terrible. Nothing like the sticker in the window when I bought it. I would not recommend this car to anyone.

  Not HAPPY With My Journey! - 2009 Dodge Journey
  By gd1234 - June 23 - 12:13 pm

  Have only had the car 4 days and the engine light has been on twice, going in the shop for the second time! Makes a noise and the car vibrates between 40 and 45 mph. I am concerned that I have bought a LEMON! Only 4 days and going in the shop again and they dont know whats wrong! I should have never bought this car! Buyers beware!
