I love my Journey!!! - 2009 Dodge Journey
By schaff - March 19 - 1:03 amWe have had our 09 Journey since its had 500 miles on it. It had a major think happen to it under warranty, I cant even think of what its called. It was 1500.00 dollars though to fix it thank The Lord under our coverage. Other than that one time thing we have put brakes on it at 40,000 miles and new tires at 42,000 miles the one tire was breaking down inside but they didnt have to many more thousand miles to go anyway that was last Friday at 900.00 dollars. We put a black wind deflector, and a bra on it too. I love the dependability the car has, and Id trust it to drive anywhere, and not be worried. I feel bad that so many on here have had nothing, but trouble with their Journey.

Hope all goes well! - 2009 Dodge Journey
By tred20 - January 22 - 11:45 pmJust purchased the journey about a week ago, and I must say that Im pleased with what I got. After reading all the reviews Im getting scared but I must press on. Cant let others dictate my decision. In the past Ive been driving jalopies. Now I got something that can stand proudly next to and say this is my car. My wife absolutely adores this suv. I have alot of concerns, but judging from what i previously owned I feel that Im much better off. I pray that I dont experience some of the problems that others have experienced. Although I have noticed a slight squealing noise coming from the hvac unit. I hope this is not a sign. Guys I use to drive a car that had not heat nor ac.

No Issues... - 2009 Dodge Journey
By jimbodean - May 17 - 10:54 amWe traded in a 2005 Chevy Equinox with 53,000 miles for this Journey and have not looked back one time. The leather seats are comfy and clean. The DVD system and Satellite radio are great. I keep reading about brake issues but we have 21,000 miles and the rotors are original and in great shape, we are not seeing any of the steering wheel shaking at all. Lots of room, lots of storage, 3rd row seating is for kids only but convenient if needed. We will be taking this car on a 2500 mile round trip from Nebraska to South Carolina in July and I have no trepidations at this point on reliability or comfort. The wife loves the back up camera and all the other R/T amenities.

Ill buy another in a heartbeat - 2009 Dodge Journey
By dancer10 - February 7 - 9:50 amI love my 2009 Journey. In 40,000, Ive had no problems. Replaced the brakes at @ 32K, a little earlier than Id expect, but not bad. The service at our local dealership is tremendous. Perfect family vehicle - roomy, very comfortable, interior is easy to clean LOTS of storage. My only complaint - the light colored seats, so I put a blanket under the kids car seats to catch the inevitable mess. When its time to retire this one, Ill definitely buy another.

Seat cover stains - 2009 Dodge Journey
By PHIL COMER - October 20 - 2:00 amFrom the day I drove my new car off the lot I have had problems with water stains on the seat cover material. I have been trying to get the company to do something about it for over a year now. They are supposed to let me know by 10/21/2010. This is clearly a defect in the material. Even condensation from a cold soda can will leave a stain.

Ultilty with comfort - 2009 Dodge Journey
By D.R. - October 13 - 2:00 amOwned 99 Dodge truck for 10 years. Time for a change. Truck ran great 150,000. Staying with Dodge. This journey is a blast. I love all the room it has. Light construction projects are breeze, all the seats lay flat for hauling 8 ft. 2x4, s and can still close the hatch. Family of 5 no problem with 3row seating. Interior nice, gps and sound system, awesome. No regrets.

A Fun Journey - 2009 Dodge Journey
By Satisfied in Amsterd - September 25 - 2:00 amSharp looking vehicle and reliable. The car is a fair price for what you get. Plenty of storage space and comfortable to take long trips in. The only improvement that I feel is necessary to this point would be to soften the metal edges on the track where you slide your seat back and forth. It is rather sharp and you can cut legs on this getting in and out of vehicle. I hope I enjoy the next 18,000 without any troubles.

Great Mileage - 2009 Dodge Journey
By Dodge Guy - August 16 - 5:21 pmI have had this vehicle for a year and a half and currently have 33,000 km on it. I have been driving back and forth from Oromocto NB to Ottawa Ont. for visits, what surprised me was the gas mileage on the highway with the air and cruise on. I am using 7.2 Liters to every100 km and that my friend is pretty good mileage for a vehicle that is only suppose to use 8.6 L per 100 km. I have have not had any problems whatsoever and it goes like stink in the wintertime.

Looked Around - 2009 Dodge Journey
By Randy - November 15 - 8:43 pmIt was an easy choice after looking around at foreign crossovers. Sitting in the Journey, even without driving it, sold it to us. Roomy compared to its foreign counterparts and extremely comfortable. It is a great transition family car for those wanting to move away from the "van" look yet maintaining the ability to transport your kids and their friends. Very happy with our first 1500 miles on it. Extremely comfortable and easy to drive. While some of the interior plastics arent what I would call "quality" looking, they are functional and easy to clean and maintain. Wouldnt go back to the "van" for nothing!
