The battery will drain when it is off and then it won’t start! There are thousands of these complaints and a Chrysler can’t fix it! They also pretend that you are the one who has reported it when you call or go to the dealership. 5 Times in the dealership for repair and every time they say they can’t reproduce the issue.

This is my first ever vehicle review but I feel I need to share the nightmare this vehicle was. Me and my boyfriend bought this vehicle 2 years ago and it was a headache from day one. It started with tires wearing down to nothing within a few months. Brought it into the shop and found it was the rear links. Got them replaced, then within the next month needed new struts, got them replaced. We then replaced the wheel bearings twice within 6 months of each other. In between all this we of course made sure the car went in for alignments. We thought we were in the clear until yet again the back tires are 3 months old and will need to be replaced next month. Within 2 years we had to go through at least 8 sets of tires. We unfortunately bit the bullet and just traded the vehicle in early and got a more reliable and safer vehicle (which at this point is any vehicle but this one). Highway driving if there is any kind of wind the vehicle sways. Any bit of icy driving or winter condition it would slide so easily. In rain the vehicle would try to hydro plan all the time. I no longer felt safe driving to work in this vehicle. We have never had this kind of problems with our 2010 dodge journey. This vehicle is a money guzzler and unless you are prepared to fix it every few months I would recommend staying away from this vehicle altogether.

I bought the 2013 dodge journey and fell in love with it but after about 300 miles on the odometer the vehicle started pulling to the right . My first thought was that the tire pressure was the cause but tire pressure was ok. Also the vehicle started riding rough and so I took it back to the dealer. 2 days later I picked up the vehicle from the dealer and according to the work order description some adjustment had been made to correct the problem. But as soon as I drove off the dealer I realized that the problem was still there only this time was not as bad as before. I bought a new vehicle to avoid going to the mechanic but ironically I'll be going back a second time already.
be careful

Loved this vehicle when I bought it. But now we are having negative thoughts. We have 45779 miles on the car we bought new. We have gone thru 2 sets of tires and now I am being told my struts are bad. One repair shop said they had a bulletin on struts and mounting bolts being faulty. Well thank you for telling us. This has been an expensive lesson. Was it covered under my warranty ... well I don't know ... we have had the car 5 years now . The struts were probably bad from the beginning but because we don't drive a lot we didn't know... Well now I know!!! Update Mar 2020 this car is a money pit and something goes wrong ,major wrong at least once a year. Now we have a electronic drain on our battery that no one can seem to stop. Hence I have to have a battery power starter in my trunk at all times and we have to drive or run our engine every day not to mention We are on our 4th battery this year . What can I do to solve this one ? I have spent over a Thousand dollars to fix this problem and have ended up with nothing solved. I am convinced that this journey is poorly designed and cheaply made and if I could I would get a new car tomorrow but we are retired and on a tight budget and we don't want any new payments so we continue to ride it out and hope nothing else happens. To date since I bought the car I have spent over 3000 on repairs , I think that's excessive for a car with 62 k miles. I drive a 1998 gmc sierra base and never have any trouble with it just put in the damn gas. Lol any Good luck if you own a Dodge Journey. You will need it.
