  Very Pleased Overall - 2009 Dodge Journey
  By Always on the GO GO - January 22 - 2:23 pm

  Needed a vehicle that would be comfortable/functional and modestly priced. Im always on the road for both business and pleasure(16K since buying mine Sept 08). I work hard, play harder and often haul gear, a minimum of two additional passengers their skis, snow boards, camping equipment, golf clubs...the list goes on! My Journey has handled it all with ease. Just returned from a 5 hour road trip and my passengers all raved about how comfortable it was...even compared it to my friends BMW X5 but with more space and a far lower price tag! Did have one BIG problem with breaking system and after 4th visit it was fixed. My dealer rocks and treated me right so overall I am very pleased.

  Should have asked a driver part 3 - 2009 Dodge Journey
  By Acajin - November 14 - 4:10 pm

  Well here it is March 24th 2010. Ive now had this vehicle for 15 months. It has 34,000 km on it and I still love this car. I had to change the brakes at 30,000 km but I got the repair shop to install aftermarket ceramic pads. This winter the power steering hose busted (twice) it was -26c when this happened and the dealer told me that it was due to the cold weather thickening the power steering fluid. The hoses are made cheap and they cant take the extra pressure. Warranty covered the problem. Get this, the best mileage I could get driving 100 kph on a flat road was 7.2 L/100 km, awesome! I usually average about 8.3 L/100 km (34 imp. mpg) on the highway and 10.5 L/100 km in the city.

  2009 Dodge Journey RT 2WD - 2009 Dodge Journey
  By Norfolk, VA - October 22 - 1:23 am

  Love my car but...There is not enough space for second and third row to each have room for their legs. The paint wore off of the ignition switch. Had to replace breaks at 20K miles. The engine began ticking much louder around 15K. The transmission makes a terrible noise on acceleration. Have been told that is ‘normal’. The power windows dont always work. The dealership couldnt duplicate or fix the problem. My key doesnt work every time. The sunroof leaked. We do not get the promised gas mileage. I complained that the car pulled to the right. Months later a recall was issued on that problem. The door trim falls off. While I love the features, I do not feel that this car is well made.

  Great Crossover for the Money - 2009 Dodge Journey
  By Bestcrossover - October 7 - 1:20 pm

  I love the Dodge Journey. I hadnt even heard of it when I saw it at the dealership! I had been looking for a car with SUV feel and room with better gas mileage than I had been getting in larger truck based vehicles. I have the 4 cyl engine, which doesnt have the power of a 6, but gets the job done for trips and work commutes. It is an attractive car that many people have asked me about, as it is quite uncommon on the road and is a new model.

  Different & Fun, Esp. for a Ford Man - 2009 Dodge Journey
  By BigE - September 23 - 4:53 pm

  I enjoyed the fact that I could still have room not like a Excursion but like leg room. It is not a Ford Flex but the dealer was willing to work with me and my situation. Not that it was bad. Larger wheels came with the R/T package and it is a lighter ride then the traditional Larger SUVs

  Smooth Sailing until 15 months - 2009 Dodge Journey
  By kjsherman77 - January 10 - 5:53 am

  Overall we have really loved our journey. We purchased when they first came out and the first issues I had were the heat/radio/windows not working at random intervals (I would have to turn the car off and restart several times) The dealership couldnt find any problems with it. I also hear a weird noise when I make hard left turns and my dash vibrates when I go over 50 mph. The latest thing that makes me regret the purchase is that the front brakes/pads/rotors are completely shot and it only has 21k miles on it.

  Think twice before buying another dodge - 2009 Dodge Journey
  By CL - December 23 - 12:10 am

  Bought this car in December 2008, went for a weekend in Moncton and got stuck on the highway came back in a towing truck we had the car for a month and the problem began. Went for a oil change, they told us that the tires need to be rotate what a joke they forgot to tied the last tire and we lost a tire on the road good thing we were not on the highway. After that then came another major problem we couldnt start the car sometime it start and sometime it didnt they change everything on it from the battery, computer, cable and the last one is that there is a leak of oil in the motor. No way there gonna sell me another Dodge I SHOULD HAVE READ THE REVIEW BEFORE BUYING

  Excellent car for the price - so far - 2009 Dodge Journey
  By John - October 30 - 6:06 am

  We have owned the vehicle for about a year and have been very happy and impressed with it. The only disappointment is that it ate up the front brakes in 20,000 miles.

  Bad in Snow - 2009 Dodge Journey
  By LRS - February 10 - 9:16 am

  I traded in my Dodge Minivan for this vehicle because I wanted something a bit smaller and more stylish. I love the way this car looks and is quite roomy BUT I was VERY dissappointed this winter with how the thing handled in the snow. There were seveal times that I almost didnt make it up some of the hills where I live. I thought it may have been my tires - but when I went to the tire dealership, they said my tires were fine! Also, the seats show everything which isnt good when you have small kids and a dog!
