This car is worthless - 2009 Dodge Journey
By mygrace02 - January 29 - 10:00 pmWe bought our journey less than a year ago..we took it in 2 wks after purchase for excessive brake dust and brakes didnt brake well. It has now been there 5 times for the brakes. They resurfaced rotors at 9000 and replaced back rotors at 12500miles. I have had it back 3 weeks and my brakes squeal and grind still. It is a horrible braking system. I have 3 children i drive in this car and absolutely do not feel safe. If I wanted this many probs. i would have bought a used car. All this not to mention it feels like it stalls when i accelerate and it always makes some horn like noise when i start it all of which they cant seem to correct. HORRIBLE CAR!!!!!

dealer want help - 2009 Dodge Journey
By class6kayak - January 4 - 4:40 amIve had my Journey for 3 months and already have had the sunroof, power steering, transmission, and main wiring harnesses worked on. The oil light came on before 3000 miles and I got the recall about the wiring harness about the same time. I made an appointment and had the service department look to see why the car made a load noise when turning left. The Power steering was replaced and the transmission started slipping between 1st and 2nd gear also gets stuck in 5th gear and causes my mpg to be about 16.5. Now the the dealership is leaving it up to Chrysler to figure out.

Total Dis-satisfaction - 2009 Dodge Journey
By lemomade - September 12 - 1:56 amI bought a 2009 Dodge Journey SXT in July 2008. At this date (04/07/09), I have only 3000 miles on it. Frankly, I cant afford to drive it more. I get only 12 mpg combined city & highway. My local dealer tells me they will NOT check it until I have 8000+ miles on it. The brakes are making noises already. The engine sounds awful when accerating. Worst mistake I ever made in purchasing a new vehicle. At 8e years of age, I shouldnt have to put up with this.

dealer special....JUNK.!!!!!! - 2009 Dodge Journey
By BAD Journey - August 30 - 6:50 amThis car has been nothing but a headache since a month after we purchased it. It had an axel seal to bust causing oil to leak on the exhaust, the transmission is always shifting gears, sometimes it wont shift down when going up hills, then when it does shift down it wont shift back up, it down shifts to low gear while in cruise control going 70 mph on the interstate & almost got us hit,Chrysler says thats the way the car is designed to work, power steering whins all the time, Chrysler says that is normal also. Any problem that this car has Chrysler says it is normal so it doesnt do any good to call them with your problems. All i can say is LEMON, this car should have been YELLOW.

This cant be happening - 2009 Dodge Journey
By FRUSTRATED - August 1 - 4:40 pmI purchased our vehicle in May 08 with 2200 miles on it. I have had nothing but problems with it since. From recall after recall, to the brakes and rotors having to be replaced at 24,000 miles, and now having a major stalling issue. Even after the dealership says there are no recalls and several disgruntled phone calls my vehicle is still hesitating and trying to stall. My advise to anyone who thinks of purchasing this particular vehicle. READ THE REVIEWS FIRST! You will be sorry if you dont!

lemon of a car - 2009 Dodge Journey
By Kiki - January 4 - 1:46 pmOne month after purchasing my 09 Journey, I was locked out in the extreme cold because the computer system went dead. I brought it back twice to be repaired. I noticed a rotten egg smell that I brought the car back for twice and was told there was nothing wrong. Then it leaked water through the roof, that was repaired. Now as I was driving 60 miles an hour on the highway, a very loud bang and then the speed immediately dropped down to 2 miles per hour and barely moving. I have been without a car for 2 days while they replace the ptu unit in the transmission. To say this car is a lemon is being nice.

Brake Recall Please! - 2009 Dodge Journey
By irate - December 22 - 12:23 amI have had my car for just 2 years, I had to replace the front brakes in January again like everyone else was told I was riding the brakes, then yesterday got to pay another $300.00 for the rear brake pads. Have never had brake pads wear out before at least 40k-60k miles!! There is a problem and they are waiting for something drastic to happen? Do not buy one unless you are excited to spend an extra $600 every year or two on brakes! Also the interior stains horribly no matter how careful you are. Even water stains. Look elsewhere. If it were worth anything I would trade in.

Do Not Put Yourself In this position. - 2009 Dodge Journey
By Jennifer - August 16 - 11:36 pmI have had mine for less than 4 months and it has been serviced 13 times and have been in the shop a total of 28 days (accumulative). It made a noise when turning left, which took them forever to figure out, the windshield made a buzzing sound on the interstate, the dashboard rattled, the back vents didnt work on low. So I have had a new power steering pump, new brakes, new shocks, new rotors, a new blower switch, 2 new cal panels, a part in the dashboard, a new air conditioning belt, and 5 new tires, which made the gas mileage worse. Heres the kicker, the steering wheel vibrates as well as the driver and passenger seat vibrates and they cannot fix it. DO not buy one of these.

dont buy this one - 2009 Dodge Journey
By nywoman77 - July 19 - 4:30 pmAll I can say is dont ever buy a dodge journey. I have had the worst experience with this car. Its been in the shop four times and Im still having problems. Check engine light has come on three times. The wire harness in my engine has been repaired. Ive had three O2 sensors replaced and Ive had continuous transmission problems that Chrysler engineers are supposedly working on. I got a lemon. I hate my vehicle. Dont buy dodge!
