Bought this car with 19,000 miles on it. I've put 20,000 more in the 7 months that i've owned it. Chrysler vehicles are always a great deal,if purchased used. The front brakes were replaced at 19,000, when the first owner traded the car in. I replaced the rears(??) at 38,000 miles. While this is too soon, the Mercedes- type pads are very dusty and wear quickly. Hopefully, the bendix pads will last longer. They aren't nearly as dusty. The Kumho tires were replaced at 38,000. This is the only company that makes the (OEM) 19in. size. They were $270-$320 at tire stores and were purchased for $186 at Tirerack.This car runs great. Gets over 20mpg avg. I drive it like i stole it and it's great
Leaves me stranded with two kids

I bought my Journey in March 2009. I had no problems for about a year but I did not put many miles on it that first year. Then I had the brake problems like everyone else. Here is my big problem. Sometimes my car just wont start. I had the battery replaced and all was well for about a month. Now it has started up again. I got stuck at the mall last night. Also, we have had a leak in our raditor hose. My car almost over heated not too long ago. We used that stuff the clogs the hose and it has held so far. Anyone have any problems like this?

TODAY is 02-01-1218... owned this Journey sense new, bought it in 2009. it has 85000 miles on it. since I bought it its had the top end replaced 3 times including heads, roller rockers, and fuel injection. YESTERDAY I paid another $2,200 bucks on repairs!!! replaced the breaks 2 time, battery is in wheel well making it a interesting job changing it, the dealer GLOAKs if they get to charge u $400 bucks in labor to change it. the cost to have the dealer change the timing belt is $1800 bucks.. the recalls never end!!! AND YES DODGE HAD TO PAY ME $3600 IN LEMAN LAW FINES.. NOW IN COMPAIRISON TO A 1989 Toyota pickup I bought new and kept for 14 years and 140,000 miles on it, total cost for repairs during the 14 years I had it was no more then a grand including timing belt, shocks and breaks. AND THATS IT!!! NOW rumor has it Dodge has upgraded the engine and fixed a few internal flaws. plus I do like the car, its nice to drive and love the radio and the stuff on the radio. and also if your engine light pops on and it appears that nothing is wrong, disconnect the battery and let the computer reboot. its a constant thing with mine. do that before you take it to the repair shop, could easy save you a bunch on diagnostic check>>>>.... THIS IS ONE PERSONS RATING AND OPINION.. all my life I had bought and owned new vehicles. this Dodge Journey is the by far the worse and most expensive vehicle to maintain.. if you buy one make sure you get 2 loans. one for the buying the vehicle the 2nd for repairs... THATS IT IN A NUT SHELL!!!!!

We didn't have this vehicle long at all when all of a sudden... Sometimes it would come on other times it would not. It would just click.. Starter replaced to no avail. The air conditioner does not work half the time. The passenger side door does not unlock unless manually unlocked. This is a piece of crap car! I am through with Dodge!! I tried 2 of their caravans and now their Jourmey... Dodge has lost some loyal customers and anyone I come into contact with as well!!!

Within the first few months the thing that squirts windshield wiper fluid broke (twice), the stick that holds up the hood broke (dangerous!), and both cover over the visor mirrors broke off. I need to replace a tire and it was extremely difficult to locate a Kumho. After 2 years I needed to replace all 4 tires at $250 apiece. And the brakes needed replacing. The stain resistant seats are not stain resistant. Still had 3 years left on my loan - took a loss and traded that sucky lemon in!
