  Good value for the price - 2009 Dodge Journey
  By Mopar - October 29 - 5:43 am

  We traded in a Dodge Durango for this smaller SUV. I did have to take it in for a steering problem two days after I took delivery, they replaced the steering reservor and the streeing is great. No real complants, other than I am disappointed with the in town gas mileage.

  Nice car, but the brakes are terrible - 2009 Dodge Journey
  By concerned - October 21 - 6:33 pm

  My wife and I really like this car for all of the extra features and the nice ride. Weve had some problems though. The first issue was a clunking sound when the car made a sharp turn. Turns out the engine mount wasnt secured at the factory. Also, we had to replace the brakes at 12000 miles and Dodge wouldnt cover it. Set back over $160 for a repair that shouldnt be made for another 40,000 miles. Very upset about that, but the other features are great.

  I have a had my Journey for a year now and so far, no problems at all. It is a comfortable ride, reliable, reasonable gas mileage for its size, lots of storage and plenty of leg room for back seat passengers. Quiet, and has good visibility when changing lanes.

  A little soggy - 2009 Dodge Journey
  By CB - June 13 - 8:00 pm

  I have had my Dodge Journey for a Year and love the car. It had been raining all day on Sunday and when my husband and I went to take friends out to dinner, the passengar side in the front was flooded with water. You could see where it looked like it ran down the door. Windows and door where shut tight and the overhead console when I turned the corner, had water running out as well. Have an appointment on Thursday. Hopefully, the car will not start to smell and they fix the problem. Will see how it turns out. Also, the car could get a little better gas mileage. Its almost like to much car for the size engine.

  Brakes! UGH - 2009 Dodge Journey
  By Amy - May 16 - 7:46 pm

  I bought my Journey in June of 2009. Loved it thought it was really nice and had lots of cool features. At 7k brakes and rotors replaced. Now with 19k the brakes and rotors need to be replaced again at my own expence. ARE YOU SERIOUS!!! Ok Chrysler has a serious problem here. They need to either make quality products for these cars or quit selling them! I am sensing a pattern that I am NOT happy with. Want to get rid of it now!

  Should have asked a driver - 2009 Dodge Journey
  By Acajin - March 1 - 12:20 pm

  This is a company vehicle, my last vehicle was a 2004 Dodge Caravan (which I loved). Ive only had it 2 weeks and so far so good. Ive just come back from a 1000Km trip and liked the feel and quietness of this vehicle on the highway. Handling is good, ride is a bit harsh, but Im assuming thats because of the winter tires. My biggest complaint about this vehicle (to date) is the way it was designed to handle dirty road conditions in winter, ie. salt. First off the rear window wiper only wipes about a 135deg sweep. The wiper pivot is on the wrong side leaving a 45deg swath of dirty window right where you would normally be looking to find where a car should be when passing it.

  brakes and dust on beautiful wheel cover - 2009 Dodge Journey
  By john myers - December 24 - 2:30 pm

  We like our vehicle and it handles well. Hosweer, we have contacted several dealers in our area regarding the brakes catching and the brake dust on our wheel covers. We were told that this is normal. Why would you put beauktiful wheel ocers if they are covered with black dust all thetime. We also purchsed a extended warranty and not one dealer is will to fix this problem. We had an intriped some time ago and got the same runn around. We are very sorry we purchased this car. We thought Chrysler had improved its service. We were wrong.
