Never buy the first year production of a vehicle. We have learned the hard way. We have had this vehicle at the dealership so many times for all sorts of different issues. Horrible wear on brakes, rotors and tires, horrible engine noises including creaking, tweeting, rattling and humming. Random things like the occasional tire rubbing sound when turning left and randomly not starting, as well as the engine light coming on for no reason and then going off for no reason. Back up camera sometimes takes a really long time to start up and the radio is sometimes blank when starting. I wish every day that we had not gotten this car!!!

I purchased my 2009 Journey in Sept. of 2008. I had 13,000.00 mile on the car when my breaks went. The dealership said they are not covered. My driver side heat seat burns my back and doesn't heat your butt. While driving I heard a huge bang like I hit something and then the heat seat (drivers) stopped working. My car won't go over 45mph, it was putting and when I got to the dealership they told me it was fine.This is bull crap! Passenger side window does not go up from the drivers side button. It's ok for them to sell you the car but they don't want to cover anything. this is why I bought a brand new car so I wouldn't have problems. that's all I have. seat fabric is horrible.oil lt. always on
Don't buy a Journey!

I have had to replace the front brakes on this car twice and the back brakes once. I only have 26,000 miles on the car and I need to replace the brakes again! Dodge is using poor quality parts and made the brake "sweep" area insufficient for the weight of the vehicle. this car is a piece of junk. Also I had to replace the front tires already and it cost me nearly $400! that was with shopping around for the best deal. I will never buy Dodge again.
Everything that could go wrong, will!!!!

I purchased my 2009 Journey SXT in July 2008 and have had problems ever since. I have wierd noises coming from the back by the exhaust pipes, the car will not start sometimes until I move the shifter in and out of park, the brakes are horrible (having to replace them every 12,000 miles or so) and now the sound I had in the front is now a blown out motor mount. This car has been to the dealers so many times and they could never figure out any of the problems. Once it is paid for, I am selling it!! No more "US" made cars for me!! Oh and I get shocked every time I get in and out of the car!!
