2014 Dodge Journey R/T 4dr SUV AWD (3.6L 6cyl 6A)
4 of 4 people found this review helpful
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.

2013 Dodge Journey SXT 4dr SUV AWD (3.6L 6cyl 6A)

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!!

2013 Dodge Journey Crew 4dr SUV AWD (3.6L 6cyl 6A)

We have had our Journey for 1 year now and it is perfect for us. Compared to Terrain and Sante Fe and Rav4 when we were shopping new and used. This size (need to fit 2 vehicles in 2 car garage), options and value were our reasons we bought it new. $7000 off MSRP! Rides smooth, accelerates quickly although transmission can be clunky and/or unsure of it self at times. Gas Mileage is as advertised 16-17 city, 23-24 Hwy. Wife loves deep red metalic color.
Good SUV for the Money

Have had an SE for 26 months. The Good: Great Storage options, nice interior, useful third row, Bluetooth controls. The OK: Fuel mileage ( after 16,000 miles my avg MPG is 23.5). The Bad: 4 cylinder is a little underpowered, no daytime running lights standard Update (9/2019). Have had the Journey for 5 years at 77000 miles. The good. No brake problems, alignment has been good. The bad: seven recalls for various things ( none of which affected operation. ReAr hatch won’t unlock. Mileage got slightly worse at 22. 8

Bought the Journey SXT AWD used with 50,000 miles, we went with a dodge bc we own a Ram and never had to do anything major,the only thing the Journey had going wrong around 95,000 miles the transmission would jerk going down hills we did a filter and transmission fluid change and rear end dope,but still jerk then realized when we bought new tires for the front we were suppose to change all 4 at the same time, then jerking in the transmission went away for awhile.Mileage went on up fast forward to 305,000 it now sounds like I have Chewbacca riding along in the 3rd row🙄🙄 found out 4 days after paying her off it’s the Torque Converter and so now Eva is sitting waiting….for a new torque converter or new home
