Brakes and Peeling Paint

I also had to replace brakes. I am also having the issue with peeling paint on the rear view mirrors now. Of all the cars I have purchased in my life this is the worst experience with a car I have had. I will no longer purchase Chrysler products based on my experience with this car. I was a loyal Chrysler customer prior to this experience. Chrysler refuses to do anything about the issues.

All I can say is don't ever buy a dodge journey. I have had the worst experience with this car. It's been in the shop four times and I'm still having problems. Check engine light has come on three times. The wire harness in my engine has been repaired. I've had three O2 sensors replaced and I've had continuous transmission problems that Chrysler engineers are supposedly working on. I got a lemon. I hate my vehicle. Don't buy dodge!

My husband and I just bought one tonight. Traded in our beloved Escape. So far I am happy, the kids like it (well, my son thinks we should have went for a Mustang GT--oh well). Affordably priced and there was a $1000 rebate on it. Fine family car, drives nice. It probably wont turn any heads but that is not what I am interested in anyway. If it gets me to ballgames and gymnastics meets safely then I am 100% satisfied.

I have had this vehicle for three months now and have had it on two long roadtrips. I get better gas mileage then posted. It is well built and very reliable. I have tried the safety features with almost getting in accidents while driving through Montreal Quebec of which were not my fault. I have owned 4 Chrysler Vehicles and have had no problems with any of them. If people would slow down and actually do the posted speed limit then maybe they would see better gas mileage. Everybody thinks that driving is a right, WELL IT'S NOT. Keep up the good work Dodge.

Overall, we have had a fantastic experience with our Journey. One minor trim problem that was corrected quickly. Love the seating configuration for our five children. Easy access to back row. Comfortable ride. Plenty of power. Traded in my Grand Caravan for this. With luggage rack and lots of neat storage, we love it! The seats fold down easily for hauling all kinds of stuff. Be careful of 90° opening rear doors...tend to bang other cars in garage or parking lot. Love the Sirius radio and climate control! So much better than our Honda Odyssey (yes, I know...but we NEEDED one 8- passenger vehicle and the domestic options are so limited). LOVE this car! And out the door for $19000.
