2009 Dodge Journey SXT AWD
Our driving and ownership experience with the Dodge Journey so far has been excellent. The Journey has a smooth ride and it is very quite when driving a high speeds.
BAD BRAKES AND ROTORS
my brake pads and rotors went at 16,500 miles. Both front rotors were warped causing me to need replacement. the dealer told me that there was nothing that they could do because the warranty was 12/12 on brakes. i called HQ and they said that until there is a recall I would have to pay for the repairs and that there was nothing that they could do for me. I was told by one of their mechanics that they are using inferior brake components to keep production costs down. If a recall comes out then I could get re- embursed for the brake job at that time. I am not going to buy out the lease now. They are getting this piece of crap back and going foreign. DON'T BUY THIS VEHICLE!

brake problem
i have my journey since april 2008. at 18000 a need to change front brake and rotar. at 38000, i need the change the rear brake and rotar. and now, at 42000 the front brake and rotar and too use again. i'm sorry i'm french. my english is not very good but, i want to say it's not normal than i have to change two time the front brake and rotar and chrysler don't want to pay for second time. it is normal to change front brake and rotar 2 times at 42000 KM ?i don't think so. i love my car but if dodge have big trouble with 19" tires vs break and retors, i don't want to pay 500 $ for that.
Great Vehicle
We are very happy with our Journey. We bought it out of town and on the trip home it got over 25mpg by the built in computer. Loaded with items that are options on other cars and at a very good price. Ride is great and people can talk without shouting over road noise. 6 disk CD player and 6 speakers are standard, rear air and heat an option that is not over priced. Great vehicle!
Love my Journey!
When my Saab 9-3 was in the shop, the rental car agency gave me a Journey. I fell in love with it immediately. Long story short, retired the Saab after 10 years of driving and bought a Journey. Lots of conveniences that make travel with 2 and 4 year olds a breeze. Lots of room for groceries, stroller, toys, change of clothes. No third seat in mine, so I have a great area for changing a diaper when on the road. Some little quirks (like a vibration in the dash over 55 MPH that sounds like a bee) but I expect they can be taken care of. Great price, and great mileage -- much better than the EPA estimate. If I had it to do over, I would buy another in a heartbeat.
