Used 2016 Dodge Journey Consumer Reviews

Dodge Journey

I just bought it but I love it already!

I love my journey

It's not a hot rod, it is sensible, comfortable, dependable transportation

Don’t buy!

This car has been the worst headache I have ever had. It’s been in the shop 5 times for water damage that’s coming from seals that were not sealed correctly from dodge.

One of the worst vehicles I've ever driven

This is the standard issue company car for the company that I work for. The FWD 4 banger is what most of my coworkers get, but because I live in the Northeast, they upgraded me to the AWD version, which automatically upgrades the engine to the V6 Pentastar. Note that this outdated engine still requires 3000 mile oil changes. It's loud and makes a lot of horsepower, but when paired to this obesely overweight compact SUV, is not impressive. The transmission slips and clunks around between gears and doesn't downshift quickly enough when you need to floor it. Body roll is horrible, and it feels very insecure around corners at highway speeds. The front seats are heavily bolstered which might be comfortable for someone shorter and smaller than me, but at 6 feet and 215 lbs, my thighs are sore after a long drive. Steering response feels kind of like stirring a straw in a slushie. My particular Journey has some sort of electrical defect which causes the headlights to briefly flicker randomly, not to complete darkness, but enough that it is noticeable, and my local Dodge dealer can't figure out the problem. The touchscreen system which controls the radio and climate control system requires way too many touches to change climate settings. Bluetooth is not standard equipment in 2016, which is ridiculous. Rear visibility is abysmal, and a backup camera and/or parking sensors are not standard either. The power window motors sound like they are straining to raise or lower the windows. On the upside, cargo room is excellent, and with the 2nd row seats folded down rivals most midsize SUVs. The 3rd row seating is ok for kids, but adults will be very cramped. I see them everywhere, probably because they are dirt cheap, but you get what you pay for. There are many other better choices.

Great car for the price!
