Just Dont Do It

Disappointed, 04/16/2019
2013 Dodge Journey SE 4dr SUV (2.4L 4cyl 4A)
5 of 10 people found this review helpful

I have a 2013 Journey and it's the worst vehicle I've ever owned. I'm on my 3rd set of tires and 2nd set of brakes. The display screen sometimes just randomly goes black. It's virtually unreadable in the daylight and no you can't change it despite it looking like there's a setting for that. Occasionally it just decides to change the radio station for you. The paint job I paid extra for is crap and with one dink it started rusting immediately. The nicest things I can say is you won't lack for storage space in this car - it's the very best feature of this car. I hear from reviews it hasn't much changed since I bought mine - so you've been warned.

I decided to get down to 1 vehicle. Got rid of a 2012 Malibu fully loaded and a 2006 Honda Element AWD. I wanted all the comforts of the Malibu and the space and AWD of the Honda. I narrowed down between Edge and Journey. For the price (and I get supplier discount for either), the Journey gave me more bang for the buck. dealer gave me a heck of a deal on a new Black version. Not a fan until I had them paint the calipers red. Only issue was the brake switch went out on a rear taillight. It stayed on or came on for no reason. It has done well this winter. I have been very satisfied as a driver. Passengers are not as comfortable in the front passenger seat.

I would say after owning 7 Dodge Chrysler vehicles this has been the most disappointing buys. We had to have the engine replaced at 100,000 miles ...30,000 more we are once again having engine problems. We love the look but this 2013 6 cylinder dodge Journey is a huge LEMON. Please run and go to a Toyota dealership...I am!
