Used 2009 Dodge Journey R/T 4dr SUV AWD (3.5L 6cyl 6A) Consumer Reviews
journey not reached
I purchased a journey r/t 1/09 and before it had 2500 miles i had to add motor oil, and had gear oil leaking on the exhaust, the sunglass holder fell apart, the remote start only works sometimes, the remote entry is the same, only when it doesn't work and you finally do get into the car the radio is changing cd's, it has been in the garage 5 separate times for days at times, the transmission doesn't shift down or doesn't shift up, there is a whining and clicking that is still there, the dvd's play on the dash along with the navigation screen at times,or doesn't work at all, we looked around at many other crossover type cars, and picked the wrong one, for this journey... take the bus...
bought another 2009 dodge journey
bought the first rt journey with everything but sunroof loved it so much i bought another one on march24 it is black rt with everything besides nav and sunroof got a great deal, dont know of any problems besides when we got the new one when we parked it smelled like something was burning i figured it was from them changing the oil, but i saw other reviews about burning smell and plus it did it again when we took it home and parked it but other than that if it doesnt catch on fire we love everything about it.

Ride of our LIFE
My family and I think it is an awesome vehicle. Wasn't too sure at first but I really like it now. Glad we bought it now.I really like the quiet smooth ride. My husband loves the sunroof and the fog lights. I think overall it is a great start to what could be an awesome vehicle if they just make a few changes.
Overall a Great Value
I commute 85 miles each way daily, so I need a solid vehicle and so far, the Journey R/T AWD does the job well. I am also a big guy...long legs, broad shoulders. Although I wish the seat were larger, I must admit that overall, the car is very roomy, even with the sunroof. Far more room than my 2005 Chevy Trailblazer. There is a TON of room for the 3rd row of seats that I did not take and lots of storage. Still learning all the features including voice commands! Great value for the $$$ spent. CVT tranny is cool too.
Death trap!
I have had this car for a year and 4 months. I let my 19 year old daughter drive it to Florida. While there she was in a minor fender bender. Minor for the person she hit. Major for the damage that was caused to my car. She hit the rear of a 2001 Saturn scratched the bumper. My car had a bumper frame (not the bumper cover) that was pushed into the radiator then into the condenser fan this was a 25 mph hit no airbags deployed. I hate to think how this car would have performed in a more serious accident I cannot wait to get rid of this car not impressed with it before this happened. Also FYI parts are ridiculous. I wish we had just let her take her jeep with a bad tire it would have been safer.
