Constant problems

Like every other Chrysler I have had, it has constant brake issues, and has O2 sensors go bad every 300 miles. In addition to that, several times every dummy light will come on, then go back out a day later for no reason. Don't buy these, they are junk.

Do Not Put Yourself In this position.

I have had mine for less than 4 months and it has been serviced 13 times and have been in the shop a total of 28 days (accumulative). It made a noise when turning left, which took them forever to figure out, the windshield made a buzzing sound on the interstate, the dashboard rattled, the back vents didn't work on low. So I have had a new power steering pump, new brakes, new shocks, new rotors, a new blower switch, 2 new cal panels, a part in the dashboard, a new air conditioning belt, and 5 new tires, which made the gas mileage worse. Heres the kicker, the steering wheel vibrates as well as the driver and passenger seat vibrates and they cannot fix it. DO not buy one of these.

Bought a used 2009 SXT Journey with 11,000 miles on it 6 weeks ago. Last week, the tranny locked up and it has been at the dealership ever since. Boast Dodge in Bradenton, Fl. After many delays, false hope, and mising parts, I am 11 days still with no car. Chrysler provides no loaner or rental, even though the dealerships are overstocked with new and used cars. I contacted the dealership, the general manager, and the Chrysler hotline, all give me the run around. Buyer beware, this is a first year car, plauged with problems, and a company who may not make it till 2010. Do your research before the purchase, if it's a good deal, theres bound to be a reason.

Too many problems in such little time

I purchased my Journey SXT in May and have had it in the shop three times. The first time was for a noise the car made when turning left. I got the car out of the shop and a hour later something went wrong with the transmission and I had to take it back. I then got the car back and noticed while driving home the car made a loud grinding noise when accelerating and then took it back the next day. It has been 3 days since I have received my car back and it is know making a loud popping noise every couple of miles. I would not recommend this car to anyone.

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!
