Wasted our money on this car

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.
2012 w/190k miles

2012 Dodge Journey SXT 4dr SUV (2.4L 4cyl 4A)
So its not the most exciting cuv, but the interior holds up well we bought a 2012 Se 4cyl fwd with 4 miles on it in 2011. We have traveled all over in this car through snow, rain, wind, and hail. 190k miles and the car still runs great. Sadly due to hail damage and a front end accident this suv has probably seen the end of its journey. Its been a great value, super reliable and easy to … live with. Yes it looks like a van, sure the 4 cyl is a lil weak and the 4 spd trans is lacking about 2-4 more gears but 9 yrs, 190k miles all for under $24k new.
It only looks better than 09 (in my opinion)

2012 Dodge Journey SXT 4dr SUV (2.4L 4cyl 4A)
I previously owned the 2009 Journey SXT. i thought I was upgrading getting the 2012.
The sound system is not as good, the way the have it setup you have to keep factory radio & can not buy something better.
It's definitely smaller on the inside.
I miss little features like 1 touch up AND down window, the flashlight in the back, the aux jack being on radio, the extra leg room. And the … plug on the back of the armrest is now cigarette lighter charger I hate that.
mpg sucks, not what they tell you
