Used 2009 Dodge Journey Consumer Reviews
IT'S A LEMON!!!
I had my car for 2 weeks when the check engine light indicator came on. I took it to the dealer and they stated the gas cap was not sealed properly, they opened it and closed it and said it would reset itself in 50 miles of driving. Well I drove it for the weekend and it stayed on. I took it to the shop for the second time. They reset the indicator light and sent me home. I drove about 20 miles, the light returned. I took it to the shop for the 3rd time and they said I needed to replace the catalytic converter. They sent me home for the weekend. I traded in my Mazda for this and I'm regretting every minute of it. The reason we buy new is to avoid these things right? It's a lemon!
Don't Buy One
After having the vehicle a month, the computer had to be replaced. It has a honking noise when I turn left. I just got it back after a third visit, it still honks. The right strut squeaks on bumps (a new strut is ordered), has a squeal (like a water pump sound) who knows what that is, and has a high pitch whistle when I excellerate. The plastic pieces are falling off the interior and constantly have to be popped back on.

The worst vehicle ever!
I have owned my vehicle for approximately 11 months and my car has been in the shop more days than I can count. Everything that has been mentioned in the other negative reviews has happened to my vehicle. My car acts like it is going to die on a regular basis and the dealership cant find the problem. My radio decides to stop working for no reason. My strut tower was not bolted in. Nice workmanship!! My door locks decide when they will work. Some days the locks will work and some days they wont. I have nothing nice to say about the vehicle or the dealership!!! I do not feel safe driving this vehicle!! Stay away from the dodge product!
Gets the Job Done
I went from a Mustang GT to a SUV due to my daughters booster seat. I am impressed with the comfort and safety. The 3.5 liter provides wonderful power. 1300 miles no major problems yet, other than the panic alarm randomly going off (had to start the car to shut it off), a small clunk in the trans when shifting (only on inclines, think it has to do with the stress the drivetrain is on at an angle), and a very low drone on some left turns, which goes away after a few seconds. I will follow up with my local dealer if any become real problems. Gas mileage has been a pleasant surprise to my Mustang's 16.5 average. I am averaging 21mpg on mixed freeway roads, and 25-27 on nothing but freeway.
Nice car for the price
Love the look.Radio is a little low,have to look down. Not great on gas locally. Stylish and roomy, did not want a minivan.
