Does not replace a van

The third row seat is marginally usable, difficult for an adult to climb into and sit in. The seat rails for the second row are trip hazards, not friendly at all. Bought a mini-van instead.

I purchased a brand new 2018 Dodge Journey in December of 2018. It only had 3 miles on it when I purchased it. I did All my scheduled maintenance and oil changes on time. Now the vehicle has 150,000 The interior and body are in excellent shape. However the engine is gone. I purchased the vehicle for 26,000 and I owe 10,600 and the engine is gone. My warranty has expired and I was told it will be 4,700 for a used engine and about 2,000 to put it in. That will bring me up to close what I owe on it. For starters Dodge put a 4 cylinder engine in a 7 passenger SUV. I always said the engine was too small for the car. This is the worst vehicle I have ever owned. I will never buy another Dodge again. Oh BTW I use to be a Dodge guy until I got this vehicle. Never Again!!!!

I thought it was great ~ I was wrong

I should have listened to my gut! The day I test drove it, it shook but the sales guy told me it was the tires so they put a new set on and I took it! Before I knew it it was shaking again called the dealership and they said it needed to be balanced so they did that and sent me on my way....but then here we go again now I'm angry the dealer said maybe we had a bad batch of tires so they put on another set. That did not work either and at this point I just want out of this car not even a year into owning it. Never did figure out what was wrong with it I cut my losses and got out of my Dodge journey
