2012 Dodge Journey SXT 4dr SUV AWD (3.6L 6cyl 6A)
33 of 37 people found this review helpful
bought car last month and love it! quiet smooth ride with plenty of power when needed. not a grocery getter but a highway cruiser capable of towing 2500 lbs. great features inside especially the 8" screen for sat radio / climate control, LED interior lighting. went 100 miles in the rain yesterday and was really impressed with the handling and control of the road conditions while getting almost 30 MPG on the highway. after driving this car i would never consider honda or toyota again; dodge did a great job building this car!

I got a great deal on my 2012 Dodge Journey after the $4,500 in rebates currently offered. This is the best value in America. Great gas mileage for the size of the vehicle, good performace from the 3.6L engine, quiet, smooth, refined interior compared to Chrysler products from the past, exterior styling offers some spice to a bland category. There is nothing I would change about my Journey. The Safe & Sound package is a must on the SXT models. It adds the rear parking sensors, rear camera, and the 8.4" screen. The screen is amazing and the interface with Apple products is my favorite feature. The other options I added was the 19" wheels and the perferred package.

2012 Dodge Journey SXT 4dr SUV (2.4L 4cyl 4A)

Journey with 5900 miles has been in the Dodge shop four times this month due to oil seapage from the transaxle output seal and differential cover. Back in the shop this morning due to likely leakage from the output seal on the passenger side. Last month it was the BCM that needed replacement. Dealership has been accomodating but this issue needs to be corrected.
Best Blend of Performance and Size

2012 Dodge Journey Crew 4dr SUV AWD (3.6L 6cyl 6A)

2012 3.6L Crew AWD w/Heated Seats. Although I do work for Chrysler I found the Journey to be the best choice for my lifestyle. As a young adult I was looking for something sporty, but cargo space was a must after my previous coupe. Looking for a blend of fuel economy, performance, and interior space the 3.6L AWD Journey fit the bill perfectly. Coming from a 5.7L F-Body I was very pleased with the acceleration and handling the Journey offered with much better fuel economy. Additionally I am now able to fit a whole bedroom furniture set in the back. The dynamics of the vehicle hold the tires firm to the ground even in the tightest turns. Overall I am very pleased with the vehicle.

I wanted to love this car because it's actually nice to drive but I have had nothing but problems with it since day one. Google "Dodge Journey problems" and you will find just about every single thing I encountered with this car. First, it really burns through brakes at a ridiculous rate -- prepare to replace them often. The sticky caliper thing is a real problem. I had to replace mine several times. If you like living on the edge and not knowing when your wheels are literally going to start smoking, then this is the car for you. Add to that: electrical problems, the body being prone to rust, starting issues and finally premature engine failure due to camshaft sensor issues and metal shavings (I can't even begin to explain that one) in the engine, then all you are left with is a vehicle with a reasonably nice and comfortable interior that is completely unreliable, will cost you a ton of money to maintain and will have a short life. This vehicle convinced me never to buy any Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep product ever again.
