Used 2009 Dodge Journey Consumer Reviews
Premature Brake Wear!
Had to put new front pads on at 12,800! Need new front pads, rear pads and new rear rotors at 19,800. Service tech at dealer informed me of an issue with the pads from the manufacturer. They are replacing them with longer lasting pads. These brakes are faulty and Chrysler doesn't want to take responsibility.
Love it!
Bought this in May, took a 2600 mile road trip 2 weeks later. Got excellent gas mileage for a AWD crossover vehicle (averaged about 24 mpg). The DVD/Rear entertainment system was a lifesaver for our kids. Already had to replace the radio though. Not a big deal, just a couple hours in the shop. Still trying to figure out all the options that the radio has. Hopefully the updated CD we got in the mail this week fixes the problems we had with it. Love the amount of room and the storage compartments. Glad we went with all the options the SXT had to offer. We use all of them!

There's a reason there was only 1 left!
Good grief! My Canadian SE PLUS edition is a piece of junk! I was looking at Journey's and my dealer only had 1 journey left CC91601 to be exact and I know why it's a piece of junk. First my doors paint peels off due to mosture. Brillant Black fades easy and I've been fighting Chrysler about my noise when turning left.
Nobody asks, "Are we there yet?"
My 11 and 13 year old daughters love the Journey. They like to fold down the seats and stretch out during road trips. AC plug keeps all the electronic goodies charged. Beverages in the chill zone, snacks under the floor and movies playing on the DVD. I consider the Journey a good value. I paid less than 24K with AWD, 3 row seating, MyGig, Infinity Speakers and Sirius radio. I could not price anything within $5k that seated more than 5. I frequently recommend the Journey to others. PS I think the MyGig radio below the heating controls works better in bright light.
LOVE MY JOURNEY!!!
I really haven't had it that long, but I must say, for a crossover, you really get a lot of features and extras for teh price. It has a lot more leg room that it looks like from the outside. Drives smooth, and handles very well. I have seen in other reviews that customers were not happy with the way thinterior is made, that it is too cheap, but I disagree. Yes, it's not a lexus, but for a mom driving her 5 yr old, and 17 yr old around, it is very sturdy and functional. It's easy to clean, and takes the abuse that my boys have to offer (LOL). It's also very easy to fold the seats down, or scooter them forward, very user friendly for a mom on the go!
