The biggest problem that I have had with this vehicle is the battery needing to be replaced. Very easy job. 15 minutes if you have tools. Everyone reading the bad reviews on this vehicle, remember is a couple hundred out of a thousands of vehicles. I understand the electrical problems. The starting problems with the key. Try replacing the battery in the remote.. Runs off a chip (needs power). Only complaint is brakes and tires. If your change brakes, spend the extra money and get quality like Brembo and a high quality set of pads. Will save hundreds in future. Tires no answer, suck it up. My family enjoys this vehicle and have owned it for 3 years 30,000+ miles.

I will have my Journey back in the shop for the 2nd time due to a shaking in the front end and into the steering column after having the front suspension checked, and the tires balance for the 2nd time. PLUS we just had to replace the brakes and rotors front and back with only 31,000 all highway miles on it. What the heck! I didn't have to have that done until 65,000 miles on my Jeep liberty and no chassis vibration.

Multiple issues, the TPS, ABS, Injectors, Clockspring, Wiper Motor, Radio Antenna, Leather Stitching, Multiple Interior Lights all had issues. Everything was fixed then the ABS started acting up and the Tuning Manifold Actuator still were broken. Then the Transmission when out. This is my second Chrysler product. I told myself after the Concorde, I wouldn't buy another. Now, I promise never another. Its an endless money pit. Don't buy a Chrylser, Dodge or Jeep. They are P.O.S. I'd rather own a Yugo. At least with the Yugo, you knew what you were purchasing and the price reflected it.

Recall your Brakes/Rotors Chrysler

Looking elsewhere, 11/05/2010

After 31,000 miles we had to spend $450 on new front and back brakes/rotors. We certainly did not buy mopar parts again as they always fail and are cheap. Review after review and dealership after dealership have complained about this problem. There is even a lawsuit in California against Chrysler for these brake and rotor problems. When is Chrysler going to take responsibility? I have been a Jeep/Dodge person for 33 years and will look elsewhere for my vehicles due to the fact that Chrysler uses shoddy materials and expects their customers to just deal with it. Your customers should not have to pay $250 to upgrade their gps or $267.00/tire for your 19" rims on your r/t's. How sad!
