Used 2009 Dodge Journey R/T 4dr SUV AWD (3.5L 6cyl 6A) Consumer Reviews
From Hell
I've leased a Grand Caravan a Pacifica a Durango a Town and Country and now this and by far the last 5 years have been great but this car is from HELL The AWD coolant case broke and spilled all over my driveway leaking toxic fluid everywere My MYGIG on top of the dash came apart and short circuted causing a minor fire! After backing into a pole in Spokane [my MYGIG is broken] it caused $7000.00 and the dealer is stupid and saying my backup camera is working and I TORE THE WHOLE ______ UNIT APART!!!! Can't through Chrysler without getting a automated message saying Get Lost! THIS IS MY LAST CHRYSLER EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Regret
I had my car for a year and started having issues with it. It gets terrible gas milage. Had to have new break and rotors, new water pump, now the heater is being fixed. Not to mention all the "little" issues. Worste car I have ever purchased. The gas milage is terrible. Nothing like the sticker in the window when I bought it. I would not recommend this car to anyone.

Forewarned!
This car has been interesting to say the least. I like the design and gas mileage but as I am writing this my car is having it's back brakes replaced after last week having the transmission replaced. This past spring we had the front breaks replaced. What will be next. I contacted Chrysler and they have no recalls! Clearly there is a huge problem with this vehicle. Our dealership has been wonderful. I will contact Dodge with a formal complaint along with consumer protection. Any advice would be appreciated. I miss my Pacifica that I traded in for this car! If Chrysler does not address this we will be purchasing a GM product, unfortunate in that we have owned over 10 Chrysler vehicles.
Hope all goes well!
Just purchased the journey about a week ago, and I must say that I'm pleased with what I got. After reading all the reviews I'm getting scared but I must press on. Can't let others dictate my decision. In the past I've been driving jalopies. Now I got something that can stand proudly next to and say this is my car. My wife absolutely adores this suv. I have alot of concerns, but judging from what i previously owned I feel that I'm much better off. I pray that I don't experience some of the problems that others have experienced. Although I have noticed a slight squealing noise coming from the hvac unit. I hope this is not a sign. Guys I use to drive a car that had not heat nor ac.
Worst car I ever bought
I bought this car in may of 2008, i came home with it and it had to go back to get the DVD installed, which ended up being a huge issue because no one at the dealership was trained on how to work it, same with the MYGIG. then we get it back the air bag light came on, then we were back in the shop for another 6 weeks until they could figure out the problem, now at 19k miles the brakes an rotors have to be replaced, the dealership said that every 9k this is happening...calle the useless folks at Dodge headquarters, they advise that this is normal wear and tear...also there is smoke that comes out from under the hood, which i have been told is brake dust, and that my car is 'safe' to drive...
