Bought a 2013 journey 2 months ago. I traded a 4x4 for this AWD....was hesitant that I could get up my driveway in the snow (we live up a steep hill) but was pleasantly surprised at how well this did in snow. Handles great, rides well and am getting about 25 mpg. My only complaint is I have trouble getting the seat situated to be comfortable (mine doesn't have power seats). Otherwise love it.

I purchased this used 2013 Dodge Journey last September. It is the SXT with V6 engine and 6 speed automatic. This is a great riding vehicle and is very quiet inside. I used to own a Honda CRV but I replaced it with this Journey. The CRV was noisy and rode rough. The Journey is quiet, rides very smooth, and has excellent power. The V6 engine has way more acceleration then I need. I drove the car to Florida and back. This car passed 90 percent of the cars going up inclines in the mountains. On steep upgrades it out performed most of the other cars and trucks on the road. It got 26 MPG when on the freeway, and 23 MPG in the city. I don't know why so many negative reviews on this vehicle. It is the best vehicle I have every owned. It has 122.000 miles on it currently, burns no oil at all, is smooth and quiet. AC works perfectly.

On June 1, 2014, was getting off a highway onto a ramp, stepped on brakes to slow down to ramp speed limit and then the brakes locked suddenly, and the vehicle came to an abrupt halt with the ignition still running. As expected everyone in the vehicle lurched forward. What a major scare! Have not had another incident since then. Have limited confidence in the vehicle now and am not willing to take it on long distance trips.
Total junk after only 5 years!

I bought the 2013 Journey SXT brand new just under 7 years ago. The blacktop trim package was impressive, but what's that worth if the car won't last more than 7 years. The first few years were just ok. Within the first year something was somehow soaking the floor mats and filling the rear floor storage compartments. Come to find out it was a faulty hose under the steering wheel that was spraying liquid from the A/C onto the floor and me, unknowingly, when driving. There have been at least 4-5 recalls on this vehicle, including several electronic "fixes" which always seemed to cause other issues once "fixed," such as the radio now skipping channels if you drive over a bump. The steering wheel controls (radio and cruise) are all finicky and the cruise control does not maintain speed well at all. Once it hit 100,000 miles, the car began to malfunction in multiple major areas, including a faulty clock spring, ($600 part) and a broken flex wheel not 6 months later; ($1200 fix). After looking into the last two issues in particular, it seems to be a very common issue for Dodge & Chrysler vehicles. Even when one of their own dealership mechanics tell them these repairs are NOT normal wear and tear, Dodge refuses to acknowledge the flawed design and manufacturer defects in their vehicles. I will never buy another Dodge after my experience with this vehicle and the company's lack of accountability! Buyer beware on this one!!

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.
