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

After the first 3 months of having my journey, it started having nothing but problems. It uses quart of oil every oil change. Transmission problems already, components falling apart or not working now, when filling up with gas it stinks inside it, no matter if u fill it up or put a couple gallons in. The antenna fall off when driving down the road. Which is not covered under warranty. After buying this, I would not refer this vehicle to anyone. Let alone purchase another chrysler/dodge vehicle again. Very unreliable and quality is very poor.
Nothing but Problems!!

I purchased my 2009 Dodge Journey in Sept of 2008, and have had nothing but problems with it!! Even though I love the design of the car, the QUALITY STINKS!! I had to have my Rack and Pinion Power Steering replaced THREE TIMES, which would have qualified it as a LEMON, but decided to give it another chance after the dealership FINALLY FIXED it! NOW my BRAKES have gone bad already after only 25K miles!! What the heck do they cover for the so called "bumper to bumper" warranty coverage. By advice - DONT BUY THIS CAR!!
Now a Granny Car / SOLD FOR A NICE TRADE IN

**Update, I sold the Journey because I got a heck of deal on a trade in. It only had 26000 miles on it and had I not fallen in love with another Durango, I would still have it. Use it a lot. I purchased brand new and still am under 20,000 miles. Switched jobs and now only drive 6-7 miles a day, but drive around town. When the first set of brakes needed replacing, along with the next 3 times, the guy at the dealer would say, "you're not driving enough", WHAT? What does that have to do with brakes rusting? The car drives fine, space to pick up from Lowe's and car pool. My biggest complaint outside of how many sets of brakes I've purchased, the keyless entry, sets off the alarm sometimes and then it takes, using the valet key to get in, which triggers the faster alarm, put the key back together and sometimes putting it into the ignition and starting it. Or hitting the unlock button while the key is in the ignition, or drive like I stole it. That is a real madden problem that a lot of people have yet nothing ever addressed. I will be selling it very soon and buy a smaller car..my first priority is that the alarm on the keyless entry button is far away from the unlock or lock button. That alarm crap is old. UPDATE***2019 I traded this car in because the back passager side door kept collecting water inside of it. Clearing the holes let it drain, but weird. Also the sun/moon roof started leaking into the sunglass holder. So while driving, I'd brake and water would leaking all over me, the radio. Well I have a used 2015 Durango now and so far, none of the quirks from the Journey but I miss that wonderful radio I could load my cds into the computer and listen to my music.
