Used 2015 Dodge Journey SUV Consumer Reviews

2015 Journey SXT V6

After much consideration I went with the Journey SXT FWD with v6/6 speed transaxle. Others considered: Hyundai Santa Fe: Almost 6K more in cost with a rebate of only 1K. Not 6K better in my opinion. Jeep Cherokee: Rougher ride, also quite a bit more costly but better incentives. Could be a better choice if off-road capability is your priority. You need to get past those ugly slit headlights though. Ford Escape: Smaller and more pricey, lower incentives. I was lost with all the buttons and levers on the steering wheel. The touchscreen display if complicated and difficult to navigate. Plus my wife didn't care for it. I read the Journey review on Edmunds and don't 100% agree with it. Update: After owning the Journey for about 1.5 years I still feel about the same. It's very versatile, rides good, has plenty of power & storage. I agree that the six speed transaxle could be a little more responsive when downshifting is needed. I use the auto stick a lot when descending mountain grades ( I live at about 5600' elevation in the spring & summer months) to help decelerating so I can stay off the brakes. I haven't seen the need for it when ascending though, the transaxle is responsive enough even though you may feel the need to throttle it a little harder from time to time to promote a downshift. It's a minor quirk. It's been in the service bay only once besides regular maintenance for a recall on the antilock brake harness. The fuel mileage isn't as good as some of the competitors, but that wasn't a big factor for me. I knew going in that the Journey is larger and heavier than most of the competition (it's almost as large as my older Durango). Update on 10/27/2016: Mileage is now 21887. I still feel about the same as my above rating with one difference. The Kumho Solus KH16 tires are wearing out quickly. The wear is especially bad on the outer edges of the tires. I thought it was due to the alignment but that isn't the case. Evidently I'm not the only person to have this problem since I've read other complaints about this same issue. Supposedly Kumho builds these tires especially for Dodge and they use a different rubber blend than they do on the standard Solus that you can buy at tire stores. It's reported that the blend is softer to produce a quieter ride. I don't know if that is the case or not, but I'll replace them with a different brand when needed. For now it seems that if I run them at a higher pressure (40psi as opposed to 36psi recommended) it has helped. Update 10/272017 Mileage is right at 30,000. No big changes. I did replace the Kumho tires with Michelins recently. It turned out the alignment was off, so maybe the Kumho's weren't the total problem. It's a workhorse, I've loaded it up to the gills in back several times and it handles the load fine. I didn't get the cross bars for the roof rack when I bought it new but I did get aftermarket ones (same as factory) since I had need to use the roof rack. It's been reliable. The only difference now is I should have considered the Durango a little more. There's been times when I could have used the extra room, although the Journey isn't much smaller. Update 10/30/2018 Mileage is around 40,000. No big changes again. I took a long trip this summer through central California to northern Oregon and averaged 27 mpg which I felt is quite good considering we were loaded most of the time. I had another recall for an air bag issue but it was just for BCM reprogramming which only took about 20 minutes. I had to replace the left seat (drivers seat) left side cover because it broke and was very loose. The part was $43 and I changed it myself. The new tires are wearing fine so I guess the original issue was the alignment. Update 10/31/2019 Mileage is 53986. We had our first non maintenance repair last spring. The check engine light was on so I took it in for diagnosis (after checking all the normal things, gas cap loose, etc). It turned out the oil pressure sender was showing oil pressure all the time even when it wasn't running. I had looked at the DIC before taking it in and the oil pressure was good while running. It was about a $400 repair that I paid for since I'm out of warranty. Other than that all has been well. The interior is holding up well (cloth seats, a lot cooler in the Arizona summers) and the outside still looks new. It's garaged most of the time. We aren't using the Journey as much as in the past since we bought a Chevy Colorado last winter. Well it's been 10 years. 87,783 miles. Still going strong, regular maintenance only. Just replaced the tires again.

Loving my 2015 Dodge Journey R/T.....Edmunds???

Went to the dealer to buy a Jeep Cherokee and test drove three versions, then tested the Journey. The Jeeps were a hard ride and costlier compared to the Journey. There wasnt much difference in mpg with the Jeep Cherokees and the Journey. The ride is smooth, the seats are comfortable and it feels like a solid SUV. The R/T is loaded with plenty of technology, storage, room between the rows and 19 inch tires. The lease was more affordable with better incentices than the Jeep Cherokees. So far, the gas mileage is better that the 19 city/25 highway as stated in the sticker. It has the pickup necessary to get you out of a bad situation, for a vehicle of its size. We all want better mpg, but this is a medium sized SUV and you know the mpg will not match a smaller car. No sure why Edmunds is so hard on this SUV, as it is an enjoyable ride and a good value for the money. I don't regret this lease and actually pleaseantly suprised I picked it over the Jeep Cherokee. I plan to enjoy it for the next 36 months lease and turn it in at that time for another SUV.

You won't find a better car for the money!

Okay... I'm all about being fair in life... And Edmunds review of this car is WAY off... I've owned a 2012 Dodge journey for going on 3 years now. And to date.. I have not regretted my purchase once.. That's not to say there are not things I would change about the car. But for them to say the 3.6 six in this car is under powered?.. Is just plain b.s.. And I have the 2012(283hp).. The 2015 has gotten a boost to 295hp. Ok.. This is not a race car.. And I don't treat it as such. But I am being honest here when I say I have on more than one occasion got on it at a red light and left other(some far sportier) cars in my dust... And it was not for lack of them trying. This car MOVES!!!

Do not know what all the complaining is about?

I love this car. I am a life long GM guy and this puts the Chevy Equinox to shame. The car size is just right, not too big, not too small. This car is fantastic in the Winter. I love the auto heated seats and steering wheel, also the awd. The seats are very comfortable, the radio nav screen is nice and big. The rear air and heat are awsome along with the 3rd row. The 1 big thing it needs is daytime running lites for extra safety.

My Journey through time...Year one

I bought my 2015 Journey SE AWD in August of 2015...I have no idea what's with all the negative ratings...the only time I had to bring it in for other than routine maintenance was when I overfilled the gas tank which triggered a trouble code shortly after I bought it. I brought to a local dealership as I was out of town...they looked at it and reset the computer and then advised me not to "top it off" as I'm used to...no problem since then. I don't get what edmunds is saying about the poor handling and lack of power...mine tracks perfectly and holds corners very, very well at speed. The drivers seat could be a little better but after a 9 hour ride my back is fine so no complaints. My only gripe is that I didn't do enough research before picking this one...don't get me wrong...the car is a great buy...I just assumed it had the fold down front seat with storage and satellite radio as base equipment and found out too late that it didn't. I love the storage bins in the floors of the back seat as well as in the rear of the car. The car has great lines and is comfortably roomy...but I must say the radio in it leaves much to be desired and it's retail value drops like a rock so be prepared to either be in it for a while or have cash to put down for a trade. I would highly recommend getting vent guards installed because what the wipers push off the windshield will come right in through a cracked drivers side window. All in all I would say this has been a very reliable vehicle through it's first 24,000 miles and am not expecting any problems anytime soon. They make it sound like it's a rolling piece of junk compared to others that they drool over...but I'm here to tell you that from my experience it's simply not true. I also occasionally tow a 5 x 10 trailer with this which the others can't do effectively. To sum it all up it's a great car with more storage and passenger capacity than others in it's class, the V-6 with AWD is comfortable, predictable, and provides more than adequate power for passing and/or onramp acceleration...(it will surprise you how fast it can get going from a dead stop), and it's brakes have performed well as well as what I would term as exceptional handling...(I live in the hills of TN and navigate twisty/windy roads every day at about 45-50 mph with complete confidence)...so I have no idea what they're talking about when they say it has excessive body roll, this isn't a sports car and I've owned a few suv's in my time. It has room for improvements...but most of them are available in different models or options, whether stand alone or packages. I plan on buying another one within the next year and if you stick with what my next one will have, V-6 AWD, and be either the Crossroad Plus or R/T models with the premium sound, navigation, and back up camera, as well as the fold flat front seat. I am very happy with the vehicle to this point with my only gripe being my own fault...get the options that you want up front, and DO NOT get the 4 cylinder engine...It's not up to the task and not available in AWD for that reason...if they don't have it in stock then either have them find one and bring it in, find another dealer who does, or if you have the time have it built for you, and then put the vent deflectors on it. From there expect to have a great ride that can take you most anywhere at anytime comfortably, economically, and safely.

Excellent Family Hauler

I've had the Journey for a couple weeks now and the initial quality and impression I have is extremely positive. Having a family of 4, I find that it's the right size. Big enough of the kids and our stuff, but not too large. Right selection of features, quality and performance also make it a winner. While fuel mileage gets dinged by Edmunds, I find that it's been better than expected. And considering the 6 cylinder engine and the fact that this isn't a tiny vehicle, I'm satisfied with what I get. Plenty of storage and materials that make you say "wait, this is a Dodge!?". I'm very satisfied with my purchase.

2015 Dodge Journey Crossroad

I recently purchased a 2015 Journey Crossroad AWD 6cyl. I was interested in an SUV that also featured the AWD ability as I live in an area with frequent snow fall. I was initially impressed with the response and ability of the vehicle to handle minor snow conditions, 3 inches or less. However, during a recent snowfall where 6 inches of snow fell in a relatively short period of time, the vehicle turn out to be less than sufficient. The combination of AWD, Electronic Stability, and Braking brought the car to an almost standstill. I had to get hard on the gas to make any progress, and when I switched off stability control, the tires just spun, first front then back and vice versa, terrible.

Very happy

What is Edmunds on? I guess if it's not Toyota or Honda they have nothing nice to say. I've had it for a month now with almost 1500 miles on it and I love it. I do have the 6 cyl and find the go to be more than adequate. No issues with acceleration or braking in the least. Handling is excellent and responsive. I love this car. Great size, great price, great features. I currently have ZERO complaints on this car. With mixed driving that leans a bit more towards city, I'm easily getting 20 MPG and I'm a fairly aggressive driver. (Seriously, I have enjoyed the heck out of the 6 cyl in this car) I suspect a nice MPG on longer trips.

2015 Dodge Journey - 2.4 liter model

It was unfortunate that I read the reviews after I purchased the vehicle. All the negative reviews regarding the 4-cylinder model are true. The salesman said they improved the 4-cylinder engine since the days I owned a PT Cruiser with the same engine. The PT ran great, but then add on the extra weight of the Journey and then you have problems, slow, slow slow. It seems it's on overdrive every time you accelerate. The price was right, the looks are OK for the price, but open the hood, everything looks like it's plastic, and Holy Cow, check out the location of the battery. I got what I paid for, I went cheap and cheap is what I got.

2015 Dodge Journey 3.6 Litre Engine issues left h

Be aware that the 3.6 litre engine of these models have known manufacturer engine issues not addressed in the 2014 and newer engines. This has been going on since 2011 models which had extended manufacturer powertrain warranty but it is.not extended for newer models. Engine issues with left side cylinder 2, causing head replacements $4K repair. Dodge is not honoring for newer models. There is a class action against Dodge for this same issue.

Great car!

The vehicle is amazing! We were choosing between this, a Dodge Charger R/T and a Durango Limited. We loved them all so much, but we went with the journey because it was the middle size (not to big or not to small for our family) It has amazing options, plenty of room, nice features, nice look, and so much more. It looks sporty but yet nice at the same time. It is AMAZING! My sister in law has a Ford Expedition, and my other one has and Acura MDX, and they are both jealous. Everyone loves it!

Here in Brazil it's far the best option!

We've been on vacation september last in Orlando, where we rented a Journey SXT, being a VW Jetta owner I was a litlle worried about the car's size. We liked so much that returning to Brazil we decided to invest some $$ in a RT JOURNEY V6. Here you also have the Fiat Freemont, that is the fruit of the joint venture of Dodge and Fiat, although they only sell the four cilinder engine. I test drove it and it's awfull!! In the othe hand Journey has been an excelent car, strong as hell, confortable as heaven and beautiful as our super model Gisele Bundchen :-)

not a reliable car

I bought my car in july 4th abd since then have taken it to the dodge place twice for parts on my transmission failing. It has less than 2000 miles on it and i bought it with 3 miles in it. This is the biggest garbage i have ever bought from dodge. Should have kept my caliber

2015 Dodge Journey Limited

UPDATE ON PROBLEMS!!!!! Transmission for some reason ALWAYS LEAKED! After 5 trips to the Dealer they found out the transmission had NO SEALS INSTALLED during manufacturing! What a MESS on the Painted Garage Floor! SUN-ROOF........WOW....talk about getting a BATH going through a car wash!! After 4 trips they FINALLY put a NEW WINDOW seal in to STOP the LEAKING SUN-Roof!! NEW PROBLEM.....GPS in the radio QUIT working after they installed a RECALL UPDATE to the RADIO! Now they have to ORDER a COMPLETE RADIO as some of the 8.4" Screens had PROBLEMS! Our's worked GREAT BEFORE they TOUCHED IT!! We willbe checking out the New Pacifica when it comes out later this year. We still LOVE our Journey Limited, but so-so many PROBLEMS and SO-SO many trips back and forth to Galeana in Fort Myers! Dodge should give us a free tank of gas and a dinner for all the times we've been there for SERVICE PROBLEMS!! We just had to take it in, Aug. 22, 2018, for a Recall for the Cruise Control. We continue to LOVE our Journey as long as they keep "Fixing" it N/C! OK...we've had this car now for a little over 5 years and it has 28,400 miles on it now. It's been a pretty good car and my wife LOVES it STILL!! I wanted her to LOOK at the New Palisades, but she still WANTS to keep the car she ordered on July 4th, 2014. OK...my wife's car is NOW 6 years old and the Front Struts had to be replaced, some kind of bearing and an engine adjustment of some sort for the timing for the transmission shifting! This was all done this past spring 2020 with only 30K miles on the clock! SO...the Extended Warranty we bought when we ordered the car has expired on Aug. 17th and I had BOUGHT another extended Warranty as she wanted to KEEp the car a little longer as she still LOVES it! I, on the other hand, would LOVE to buy a Palisade OR the NEW GV80 that's not out yet! She LOVES her car....I really do too, but NOT having a Warranty SCARES the HECK out of me for sure! Not sure WHY the Warranty CANCELLED the one I bought. It was called the Mopar Protection Plan and I GUESS they're not offering Warranties anymore!? For NOw...WE'LL KEEP IT as it's running well! OK~~~Aug. 31, 2021 and we've owned our Dodge Journey Limited now for a little over 7 years! I just bought another Extended Warranty as my wife WILL NOT let me buy her a New Car yet as she LOVES her Journey! We've had no more problems with it now for a year or so and it now just turned 34,000 miles and in 7 years that's not really HIGH MILEAGE at all!! My wife feels comfortable driving her "BEAUTY" and with the White Pearl Pain and the White Leather Interior she Ordered she just LOVES HER Car! I have UPGRADED to a 4 Star Rating as I believe the "BUGS" are now gone!!! I was surprised that the Journey was also DISCONTINUED as all it need was a FEW MORE UPGRADES to make it a LEADER in that Field of SUV's! OK...it's now Aug. 31, 2022 and we've owned our 2015 Dodge Journey Limited for 8 years and we still LOVE IT! Had a few front end problems and they were all fixed with our Extended Warranty with the $100 Deductible. I wanted to buy my wife a new car, but with just 38K on the odometer and the fact it's running WELL my wife said NO! I then tried about keeping Her car for me and buying her another one and she said NO! SO....I'll be writing another rfeview a Year from now telling you how the vehicle is running. We just had it detailed yesterday and the detailers told us they have NEVER EVER seen an 8 year old vehicle so CLEAN! They even take the seats out to clean everything and they wanted to know when this was done last and we told them NEVER like this with the seats out! They were then SHOCKED EVEN MORE! He couldn't believe how CLEAN the White Leather interior was also!

This car was maintained before I brought it.

I drive this suv as an Uber service vehicle, picking up and driving people to their locations. Here are the pros and cons that I see. Pros....Passengers always compliment on the inside design and how beautiful it looks and that its comfortable although there is a slight vibration that I notice when breaking. I never had an issue with this vehicle as far as reliability. I've owned it for several months so far. I've had it inspected at oil change shops and they find no issues with this suv. Cons....the AC/Air comes on at random times but not all the time....it is rare, Im not sure if this is a glitch in the vehicle design in regards to climate control. The vehicle vibrates a little when stopping. These are the only gripes that I have while driving this vehicle for 7 months. It used to be a rental car so I am sure that it was well maintained. The storage space in this vehicle is also awesome. Too many compliments to give this ride a negative review.

Horrible transmission

My 2015 journey has 60,000 miles and the transmission is going bad already. Poorly made car DO NOT buy

I should of gotten a honda

Bought a 2015 Dodge Journey brand new off the lot, 2 weeks in and had to take it back to the dealership, it was jerking alot. Three years go by with no problem and one day after work we just heard a loud bang and the car would not go into drive or reverse. Thank god we where at the corner of my house. Had it towed to the dealer two weeks went by and they did not even know what was wrong with the car. Now the warranty is over and it hasn’t been three months that we got it back from the dealership and again we are noticing that when we shift the gear to reverse or drive it makes a noise. Don’t know what to do. Hate this car, will never again buy a dodge.

2015 Journey Crossroad

Our recent purchase was after much research. I admit being a Mopar fan, I lean towards Dodge but try to keep an objective outlook. With just 1000 miles, the 3.6L, V6 AWD is giving 20-21 MPG around town here which is a pleasant surprise. The average MPG bar display keeps me conscientious of my driving habits. The seats are comfortable and there is plenty of room for my 6' frame. I like the size of the Crossroad with the 3rd row seating, the storage, the adjustable telescoping steering column and front and rear climate controls as well as the key-less entry and starting. The entertainment and sound system other controls are easily accessible and I find them intuitive to operate.

Never Again

I have owned 8 Dodges. It is only a 2015 and it has 115,000 miles on it. 50 miles ago, the transmission went completely out on it. I opened a case with Dodge in hopes they would grant repair assistance giving the age of the vehicle and the fact that I have been a very loyal dodge customer. They denied my request. If you want a sporty, attractive AWD Suv that will last only 100,000 miles than this is the SUV for you. Do not allow it to get past the drive train warranty. The AWD portion of this SUV is by far the best vehicle I have ever driven in the snow of Indiana.

Great at first, but within a nightmare ensued

I bought a 2015 Dodge Journey Crossroad in August 2015. By August 29, 2016 it has been worked on six different times. We have had to have the stereo system/Sirius XM replaced twice. A few times the SUV would not start and when it did start the display lights would not come on. The check engine light has popped on so many times I have lost count and when we went to go get it checked out it mysteriously goes away. Most of the time when the check engine light comes on it is the fuel cap sensor. We shut it very tight but the mechanic at the dealership says he sees it often with the Journeys and all we have to do is go to him to turn it off. That is very inconvenient being a military family and moving soon. Today, on 8/29/16 the code that popped up says the the crank angle sensor has an issue, with it not wanting to turn on lately that makes a lot of sense. The inside is what drew us in. The sleek outside and the comfortable inside with Bluetooth, XM, and A/C throughout the car it was an awesome buy, or so we thought. We traded our 2013 Honda Odyssey in and it was the worst mistake we made. We are now looking into getting a different car only to realize the trade-in value plummeted so quickly and although the dealership agrees we have had numerous problems for a new car, they refuse to do anything about it except keep giving us the run around about why it has so many issues. **the dealership took the Journey back because of all the problems that we had. We purchased a new 2016 Dodge Grand Caravan. I loved the interior and ride of the Journey but it was not reliable enough for our family.

10 Days Experiance Rental in California Mountians

Recently rented a 2015 Journey LTD with V-6 for a 10 day vacation to the Sierra Nevada area of California; Sequoia/Yosemite/Tahoe. Traveled one-half of the trip on inter-state or four-lane highways and the other on winding mountain roads with 35 MPH speed limits and grades of 6 to 12%. In total, we traveled 1,301 miles and averaged 21.02 MPG. The car was slightly over-powered on the freeway and slightly under-powered in the mountains; no complaints. Shifting was smooth and concise. The seating was very comfortable. Handling was better than expected; almost a good as a sedan. Overall, pleasantly surprised. I drive a Toyota now, and would seriously considered - depending upon the reliability rating.

This SUV reliability sucks!!!

We purchased a 2015 Dodge Journey with only 13 miles in less than 24hrs the vehicle shut down on us 3x it has been in for service 3x with the problem happening more than 10x even while on the highway with my children in the vehicle. The dealership refused to trade it out!! Even if we were within our 30day warranty 2,500 miles warranty period!!! I would NOT recommend this vehicle to anyone!!!! Now there is 4 other Dodge journey in for service for the same problem as mine!!! So discussed with the service at Dodge Larry H. Miller in Avondale, AZ.

whiney whisltley

Diappointed gear whine/whistle noise at 65-70 mph. Like an old schoolbus. Have driven rentals before without this noise. Maybe just the late 2015's? Switched supplier? Would have otherwise been great car. Update: got a case number from Chrysler, turns out it was bad transfer gears which they replaced under warranty. Sooo much better. Thank you All Star Dodge. I should have bought it from your instead of Royal Gate.

Journey Crossroad - Excellent Bang for Your Buck

After reading this review I do not know what Edmunds is speaking about. I own the Journey Crossroad AWD 6 Cylinder and I love it. I have to say it was not my first choice. I am a Buick girl but couldn't afford the Buick I wanted. I had rented a Journey twice on business trips and thought it drove great hence why I bought. I think it's a great value, looks great, drives great. I only have 20K in years but I have not had any issues. Just basic maintenance at this point. The third row is not great for a family of (5) that needs the third row all the time. My kids are all big now but since that is not used as our primary family car it only gets used when I unexpectedly have to pick up other peoples kid. The car handles great, it is very sensitive and reacts on a dime. Gas Mileage is good. I hope this car will give me 10 years!

2015 was a very bad year for me!!

I purchased the 2015 Dodge Journey new. it has everything on it you could possibly want. First, the positives..... great DVD player, super-secret hiding spots, 3-row seating is just fine for a 10-year-old. it comes with 2 Bluetooth headphones. the GPS is great! gives you everything you need and is super easy to use. The screen is VERY large, largest i've ever seen. Now for the rest..... At 20,000 miles my brakes went out- not under warranty then my battery- no warranty next my starter, then alternator- you guessed it- not under warranty. all happened between 20,000 and 24,000 miles. my local dealership said "oh, well" after calling corporate headquarters I basically got the same answer. That coupled with the great 14 MPG highway miles I decided to cut my losses and get rid of the worse mistake I've ever made in buying a can (and i've owned many) Just a warning!

worst car ever made from dodge

Just recently we took a camping trip and the road going up the mountain was a paved road but it was high elevation so steep hills the car barley made it up the mountain my sisters little car made it up better then this pile, then got home my wife was driving the car with three kids in the car all younger then 9 years old and she turned to go in our housing development and the car completely shut off giving her no brakes no engine nothing and she almost went in the wall. My car barely has 13 k miles on it and its 2 years old so in good shape we took it to the dealership they said there was a hidden code. I said ok thats fine fix it and they said we will have to take it home my wife was so scared she was shaking she never thought she would get back in the car and they said they cant do anything for us well i have a 2 year son and she doesn't want to put him back in there so we were looking to trade it even for a older car they said we would be up side down about 8k on the car i said wait you guys wont give us a brake for you car being a pile they said no so here we are with a pile car and im putting this out there to never buy this car or dont go to Towbin DODGE to have maintenance or to buy a car you will regret it like no other biggest mistake i have ever made in my life.

check it out for yourself...a pleasant surprise

We went into 3-row crossover shopping with the Journey not on the list, and ended up liking it so much we special ordered! We test drove the Hyundai Santa Fe, Buick Enclave, Mazda Cx9, and Nissan Pathfinder, but we really liked the packaging of the Journey a lot better. We got a Crossroad model, FWD, with the V6, and I would recommend it. What sold us on the Journey was simply how much better the interior was packaged for us. It's got plenty of room without being as big as some others. The seats are very comfortable and there is storage everywhere. Plus, we got the integrated booster seats, and they are so well-designed it is amazing to me they aren't available on other SUVs. UPDATE - two years in and we are happy. We did have a vexing problem of the AC leaking coolant that required three dealer trips for a fix, but to the dealer's credit, they covered a rental for the second and third visits, got help from FCA to figure it out, and got it licked. Otherwise the Journey has been trouble-free, and the built-in booster seat is not in use and it is a godsend!

Still better than what the reviews say..

I was reading the Expert review on the Dodge Journey and on one of the Con's it said "Below-average fuel economy regardless of engine". I think the "expert reviewer" never drove the V6 engine long enough. Mind you I traded my 4-cylinder 5-seater small SUV from a Japanese car brand which had 140HP and it was giving me 15-17MPG! I was like driving a V8 truck with that MPG with far less horses in the engine. When I had this Dodge Journey SXT V6 it was the most quiet SUV I had. My older car was like a monster truck inside. The trim is very nice compared to RAV4, CRV, Subaru, and Mazda! The sides of interior doors are not hard plastic it is wrapped in leather like trim which I've only seen in my brother's Lexus RX. I actually went one time to do test drive a few cars and while I was driving a top of the line Subaru Foreseter I was saying to myself my Journey is a lot better than this very expensive car. The space is just enough for 5 and 7 for some occassions. I have had 2 5'10" ride in the third row and they were sitting fine. And while having 7 adults does not lag this car at all. The 283HP penta is really nice on the Journey, it is actually the same engine to Dodge Charger V6. To me, the Dodge Journey is still the best value for the money 7 seater SUV. I hope they update it in 2018.

Don't break down 800 miles from home!

Was a wonderful auto for 2 years then we stalled 1100 miles from home. The car would sputter a couple times and just die, after sitting a couple hours the auto would start (The first two times there was no computer codes) Then we broke down 800 miles from home and then 700 miles from home. (Same trip) went to a dealer after a whole day they said it was fixed, on our way on the freeway during rush hour 100 miles later broke down again. Took it to a second Dealer after another day they said that it could be a verity of things costing $1500 BUT they could not say for sure if it would fix it. ..... Ended up trading it in on a new Jeep ... They only gave us $7000 on trade (Boy did they ever burn us!) Other than this problem when we were on the road we loved it!

Excellent Expierence

The car has been really good to me thus far. The camera that is installed is fuzzy, but nothing I can't deal with. Beyond that all the other features are top notch.

Great Vehicle! Good Price!

The only issue I had with my 2015 was the air and heat would turn on by itself and everytime I turned it off it would pop back on. I loved this car so much My son crashed my car and now I have a 2017. Kind of surprised very little upgrades though but I still love my Journey!

Transmission Tragedy!

I purchased this car from my son's company at 97,000 miles. My son was the only previous driver so I thought it was a good value. The appraised for $13,000 and I paid significantly less for it. However, at 113,000 miles with no previous signs or warnings the transmission has gone out! Now, I admit I drive vehicles fast but not hard. I wait until the car comes to a complete stop before moving forward or backwards. I also drive a lot, but I definitely was not prepared to replace a transmission in less than a year after purchasing the vehicle. This car is CRAP, DON'T NOT BUY A DODGE! I immediately came home and jumped in to my 2003 HONDA with 300,000+ miles, that has been sitting in my garage since I purchased the Dodge and with a jump I am riding once again.

Love our New 2015 Journey Limited

We ordered my wife's 2015 Dodge Journey Limited on July 4, 2014. She picked out ALL the "GOODIES" including the White Tri-Coat paint for an extra $500. Along with the White Pearl Leather interior the car is just STUNNING to look at for sure! We also had 2 thin black stripes PAINTED down the sides and also around the back..BEAUTIFUL!! We do MISS the Power REAR Hatch Opening like we had on our Town and Country Limited Van and ALSO MISS the Driver's Front Seat Power setting for 2 drivers! That's really the only 2 things I WISH they would have OFFERED with our Limited Journey. We picked up my wife's 2015 Journey on Aug. 22, 2014 and we both LOVE it!!

I have driven 5 of these buses

Front seats stiff and not very comfortable, A-pillar blocks a lot of side view traffic. Large blind spots, mirrors not big enough, Rear seat headrests block view from rear window. Car tends to pull in one direction , doesn't seem to steer straight. Transmission is poor, takes for ever for the V6 to get up to highway speeds. Engine deserves something better than the current transmission. Cheap looking plastics inside, they crack or break. Windows seem to have a lot of noise at highway speeds. Could use better tires and better suspension too. I have had 5 of these as company vehicles since 2009. Overall design is OK but can't understand why Fiat can't fix these same old issues.

Good Value, Poor MPG

Journey Crossroad V6 AWD has plenty of power, lots of hiding places for purses etc, comfortable interior, plenty of power for getting into heavy rush hour traffic. Has 3 rows of seats and is narrower than comparable makes which is great for parking. No blind spots, great navigation/ backup camera. Inexpensive compared to similar models. Could get better mileage in perfect world but with 3 row eating there is compromise.

Smooth ride

I love the SUV. Very spacious

Gigi gone High tech

Had a 2013 loved it, that is why I had to have 2015. I have only had it for a week and a day... it feels so much bigger then the 2013 it has a 3rd row and sunroof, did not have it in 2013. I here noise like knocking but the service said everything is ok they ordered a new arm rest hard time opening. Still under warranty and I bought maximum care protection to many options (toy's). I also oil package for 60 months. I still have 3-11-2019 I love💛 it because I've only had to use oil change I bought. I'm glad I did that I have 5 more payments on the service plan I bought have not had to use it😊. I like the free 🚗 rinse they give when I take the car back to get the oil change. Had to get new tires after 40,000 miles😯. I have been eyeing other cars but they don't come with 📀 or 💿 player's. That's one reason and I haven't had any problems😅BLESSINGS😇

I bought my Dodge Journey Crossroads brand new in April 2015, I was so disappointed that it did not come with navigation , but did come with a big 8" screen and hands free calling . The radio is something cheap and not a Bose or Infinity. I would have also liked to have seen it come with a sunroof, this car offers nothing really for a $35,000 price tag !!!! NO WOW factor at all. I did buy the 4 cyl model which was a Big mistake as it has NO power and takes forever to get up a hill and a ton of gas to get up to speed. I`m waiting for the time when I can trade this Crossroad in as I will do it with a Smile on my face as I will Never buy another one again !!!!!!!

Stay FAR Away From Dodge Journey

I would not provide any stars but had to select one to post my review. I bought a 2015 Dodge Journey Crossroad FWD 6 cyl brand new in 2015. Now I am just a few months outside of the warranty at 64,00 miles and 8 payments left...transmission is shot and no one will assist with the $3,000.00 rebuild quote (and that is from a reliable mechanic not a dealer price).

Great car!

Typical Dodge

The interior was interesting on first glance, like a space shuttle of sorts, with odd buttons and cool features. I had high expectations for this car, upon further inspection it was your average, cheap, plastic dodge. The display was cool, however it lacked common sense. It was hard to navigate through the options, and had a very messy set up. As for the drivetrain, It was absolutely gutless, it had weak acceleration and the transmission kept making odd noises. This car had only 500 miles on it. The traction controll serves no purpose, as it was near impossible to lose traction in the first place. The sound system was by far the highlight of this car, great bass and very clear for a stock system. Needless to say, I will never own one. This car is ideal for moms who like being late to soccer practice.

Journey “Don’t stop Believing!”

Believe in owning one. Everything you need in an SUV for the money! I have the Blacktop edition with everything black on the vehicle. Turns heads in town! Great rig. Love it so far.

Dodge journey

Great car! The only thing I don’t like is the vision to see when you are driving, with all the seats up, it makes it hard to see out the back window and sides. Other then that, it’s a great car.

Budget and shows

Have driven less than 40,000 miles and had to replace an ABS sensor 3 separate times. Cut cost on dusk sensor to turn on headlights as well.

Had the vehicle for 4 years

Replaced water pump 3x already, power steering hose rupture in cold water x2 and transmissiom oil pan leaks x2 got 50,000km only

Great car until it hit 60k miles

I bought this car in 2019. At the time had 17k miles. Was a great car. The room in it is good for maybe a family of four. The backseat does not have enough room to fit a rear facing seat. When the car got to about 60k miles we started having a lot of issues. One issue continued even after repairing it numerous times and spending a lot of money. The started went out at about 69k miles. It started stalling and misfiring. This vehicle has quite a few open recalls as well. I wouldn’t recommend buying a Journey to anyone, unless you want the headache of costly repairs and not knowing if it will start or not. I would recommend people to stay away from it because it will not last long.

Death trap!

I hate this car! It dies all the time and I have no warning at all. It’s been over a hundred times. No one can figure out the cause and the vehicle needs completely recalled because I know others say the same thing as me.

Glitchy vehicle

I own a Crossroads V6 non 4wd there’s no option for that on here. Anyway it has many electrical glitches . Sometimes the cruise/traction control goes out then re activates. Bluetooth and steering wheel buttons are inop. Vision is limited with the absurdly wide B pillars. own a Crossroads V6 non 4wd there’s no option for that on here.

Roadblock Alert: 2015 Dodge Journey

Vehicle Review: 2015 Dodge Journey The 2015 Dodge Journey may not be the best choice for potential buyers due to a couple of notable drawbacks. One major concern is the difficulty in accessing the battery, particularly for non-mechanics. This can lead to inconvenience and potentially higher maintenance costs if battery-related issues arise. Another aspect worth considering is the reported breakdowns that seem to occur around the 100,000-mile mark. While every vehicle is subject to wear and tear over time, the frequency of breakdowns in the Journey at this milestone raises concerns about its long-term reliability. Considering these factors, I would highly advise potential buyers to explore alternative options in the market that offer easier battery accessibility and potentially better long-term reliability. It's crucial to conduct thorough research and consider customer reviews and expert opinions before making a final decision.
