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.

Great Value on Dodge Journey

I just purchased the base American Value model, and don't regret it a bit. The RAV 4 and the CRV were close to being the winner, when I gave Dodge another look. I don't feel short changed at all, except I saved thousands off the sticker compared to those two. Beautiful inside and out, with great build quality. My kids love the back seats that move and recline, great for long trips. The rebates the other guys did not offer really made it a no brainer. Living in S. FL I didn't need or want a sun roof, so don't feel cheated out at all. Runs smoother than the other options, less get up and go with the 2.5, but will save on speeding tickets.

Reliable family vehicle

We have had the car for 4 years and never had any problems. Engine is really underpowered but the car provides a comfortable and silent ride. Space for the kids and luggage. Entertainment system is OK for the price, same with materials. Dodge dealership is pretty bad, unfortunately this seams to be a common trend with car sellers.

V6 plenty of power front seats ok rear seats not suitable for older adults for long periods. Averaged 21.5 mpg doing between 75 and 90. Will focus on seat comfort with next vehicle, still very happy with purchase, just finding all the faults now. Vehicle just over 5 years old no problems so far and for the money we paid for a 2 year old vehicle I couldn't be more satisfied.

What a beast

My wife bought one of these in the early days of COVID. It had just under 99,000 KM on the odometer at the time. Overall, this automobile is a beast. Fuel economy is not the greatest however the V6 engine will get you where you need to go. I find that the transmission sometimes is slow to shift when going from 2nd gear to 3rd gear (and from 3rd gear to 2nd gear). There's plenty of room for your stuff or other passengers. We went camping once, and with the seats folded down, we put all of our camping gear as well as a bunch of firewood in the back. My wife can't get enough of the hand-free features for her mobile phone. The heated seats and heated steering wheel are also a bonus on cold winter mornings. With the usual maintenance (oil change, swapping out air filter, etc) this thing runs like a dream. Occasionally the Check Engine light appears but for some reason it goes away when the gas tank is nearly empty. The mechanic can't explain it but the car has not failed us at all. I would highly recommend this car to anyone looking for a spacious ride that can hold all your stuff or your family. We initially went looking for something smaller, like a Ford Escape, but we got a good deal on the Dodge Journey and we absolutely love it.
