I love my Journey! This is our first crossover, moving up from a 4 dr car that just didn't have enough space with two car seats. I have 1500 miles on the odometer and average 22-23 mpg hwy, 19 city. Note that I accelerate slowly (don't get the RPM up to 3000 very often), coast when possible, use cruise, etc, to maximize fuel economy. If you like to rev it, don't expect to get great gas mileage. My 6'2" hubby and I (5'5") are both comfortable riding in this vehicle for extended periods. With the front seat pushed all the way back, there is still ample room for a toddler seat in the back. As for the blind spot, check your mirrors, turn and look, recheck mirrors, and it's not an issue.
Undersized motor mounts & ongoing ignition problem

I own a 2009 Dodge Journey SXT V6. All in all, its been a very practical vehicle for me. The dealer has never been able (after many attempts) to fix the keyfob ignition issue - where it won't always start and you have to fiddle with the fob, open and close the doors, roll the windows up and down, etc. to finally get it to turn over. (You insert the key fob, turn it, and NOTHING happens.)BUT my biggest dissatisfaction with this vehicle has been the motor mounts. My Journey just rolled over 78,000 mile. I do not drive it roughly or carelessly. Two years ago two motor mounts were replaced in New Jersey by my mechanic. At the time he explained that Dodge used the same motor mounts on the 4 cylinder engines and the V6 and that they were just not designed to hold the V6. Now the other two mounts have completely broken thru and are being replaced. This just screams pool design and Dodge cheaping out on what could potentially cause a very serious accident, not to mention a very unnecessary expense. Dodge really should be held accountable for this --- recall and replace free of charge --- all of these undersized motor mounts. I love my Journey, but my next vehicle will not be another Journey unless this changes.

Less than 10K miles, 4th time in shop; this time for CV shaft replacement. Twice for cowl, which is currently on backorder. Car made thunking noise, found out the motor mounts were never tightened at factory. When pulling into the grocerly store parking lot, this car creaks and groans like a 10- year old used car with 150K miles. My brother-in-law told me to buy new to avoid someone else's headaches. Ha! I deserve this for listening to someone else's opinion.

MY wife loved the Dodge Journey. She has hip problems and it was easy for her to get in and out of.However, we have had it into the dealership several times and I am bringing it in tomorrow again.Loud noise when turning left. This was resolved by dealership. Sometimes when backing up the transmission slams into gear. The first time I heard It I thought we were rear ended. Dealership cannot find the problem, because it only does it on occassion.When going down the road and exceeding 55 mph. front end shakes. Does not do all the time so it is hard for dealership to correct. We are taking in tomorrow for a recall on brake sensor. Not a problem now but it could be. Gas mileage is poor also.
disapointed in this vehical

its too bad that this vehical isn't what was advertised to be. electrical systems are dangerous. even after the replacement of the electrical harness on the drivers side door, the modual for the power windows, locks, etc. melted yesterday. not just a small thing either. large areas of it on both sides were no longer recognizable. scorch marks on the "new" harnes as well as the insulation under it. the air bag alert light has continued to come on a number of times. the started modual had to be replaced. the air condition/ heating needed to replaced. 19" tires are special order and expensive. front wheel drive does not work effectively on my driveway. regret buying this vehical alot
