Used 2009 Dodge Journey Consumer Reviews
Enjoying my Journey
Just got my Journey one week ago but I love it. I am a little upset over buying the convience group II and buying the third row seating and finding out that the cargo cover that is included in the convience group II does not come with it if you get 3rd row of seats. Why do they offer both and not list the exception. It is a rip off! I also ordered mine with a $500 owner loyality rebate but they would not give it to me when the vehicle came in. I think this is a breech of contract but I am investing both of these. I bought the first Journey this dealership sold and they were not aware of the cargo cover not being able to be installed with 3rd row seating till I ask about it.
Transmission and other concerns
I have now owed my Journey for four months and it has been in the shop for about a month of that time. I have had a new transmission installed at 6000 miles. I drove it for 4 days to have a pinion seal leak transmission fluid all over the parking lot. That repaired and now the new transmission is showing the same signs as the prior one. It does not want to shift smooth into second. I keep getting engine lights and they stated that I have an emmisons leak and they are working on finding that. The dealership is great with the repairs and the help with the car but no matter how much I love the car itself but it does not a reliable choice for someone driving as much as I do with the kids..

very pleased!!
Have owned this veh. for 3 months and I just have to say I LOVE IT! just have very minor issues like one piece of trim needed replacement , just took it to the dealership for an oil change while there they did some tsb's on the harness , there was some squeaking noise coming from the left rear tire, turn out it was the emergency brake cable at the rear suspension just needed some spray lubricant and the noise is gone!The radio location makes sense when you have the NAV (REU) one can rest the hand on the shifted while using the nav controls. VERY PLEASED so far!
This can't be happening
I purchased our vehicle in May 08 with 2200 miles on it. I have had nothing but problems with it since. From recall after recall, to the brakes and rotors having to be replaced at 24,000 miles, and now having a major stalling issue. Even after the dealership says there are no recalls and several disgruntled phone calls my vehicle is still hesitating and trying to stall. My advise to anyone who thinks of purchasing this particular vehicle. READ THE REVIEWS FIRST! You will be sorry if you don't!
146,000 km still going with a lot of $$$$
Had my journey for two years now and have had most of the problems on this review and more. No trouble with motor or tranny luckily. Here are major troubles I have had brakes, power steering, wheel speed sensors, wheel bearings, tie rods, ball joints, rear differential seals twice, transaxle seals, replaced rear cv axles 4 times due to faulty design, rubber door seals falling off, needed to replace tires after 35,000 km/6 months and was unable to get 19" tires from any tire dealer or Dodge, had to buy new tires and rims. Replaced all struts. Rear heater motor. I drive 75,000 km mostly highway, some gravel. Nice car to drive and handles well but costs way to much to keep running not a good buy
