Used 2009 Dodge Journey Consumer Reviews
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!
Bad Choice
Really like the Journey over all but have had nothing but issues with it. I'm the 8th review of there is a noise when making a left turn and after 3 power sterring reseviors later it still does it. Also there is a ticking noise in the engine. Found to be rocker arms and tappets, both replaced and it still makes the noise. My car has been in the shop 4 times and I still have the issues. The journey rides really smooth, I got my 1st. speeding ticket of 23 years driving in it. Would not recommend this car, too many issues.

transmission trouble
We had the Journey one day and every time we braked the car would feel like it jumped into another gear. To make a long story short, the car had less than 300 miles and the transmission needs to be replaced. Yes, that is right. We requested the dealer please just give us a new vehicle but they explained since it was already titled in our name they can't. We were assured they have the top service center at this dealership. Very dissappointed and upset.
love it
Love it, can't complain about anything at this time. It has 2600 miles on it. I would buy another in the future.
A Roaring Journey
On a road trip after purchase, got about 24-24 mpg on interstates. Running 19-20 in town. Biggest complaint is a mysterious roaring noise that occurs on acceleration in the 35-45 mph range. Dealer says it is an exhaust resonance issue that can't be fixed, but is common to the Chrysler 6-cyl. engine. My wife bought the vehicle and swears she would not have if the noise had occurred during the test drive. I think Chrysler should come up with a diagnosis and a fix, for what is otherwise an extremely good value for the price.
