Positive Review
The front seats are comfortable, the second row is a bit less, and the third row has little leg room and is very difficult to get in and out of. The driving ability going forward is great but to back up and to see out the sides to back up has a lot of blind spots. The car does not have a lot of pick up when passing other vehicles and the vehicle can get out of control if sudden maneuvers are made from side to side.

Critical Review
NEVER b4 have I ever had such problems with a car...and I am 65 years old and have had plenty of cars. Less than 2 years old with only 7500 miles on it, and we are afraid to take out-of-town trips with it. As soon as it gets out of the shop for the latest problems it is having, we are trading it in for a Honda. Take the loss. Don't believe me....google problems with Dodge Journey and read the horror stories about this car! I will NEVER buy a Chrysler product again.

It's big
Has transmission issues, is on recall and is completely unreliable in general
If this doesn't convince you to not get it I don't know what will. Bought a 2012 Dodge Journey at a dealership...car seemed fine, but noticed within 2 days the car had a weird acceleration issue. Took it back to the dealership and they said it needed a new transmission. Needless to say after 3 failed transmissions being put in and not working, I traded it in for a 2015 Honda Civic. Also the 2013 model is also has 2 recalls. Never buy a dodge journey or dodge for that matter...DODGE THE DODGE
Great on gas, nice features
Very light weight, no 4 wheel drive , slips around in bad weather
Bought used in great shape - super clean
I was able to compare a lot of cars and features to find exactly what i needed. they have a lot of options to customize your search. and options for finding it in your budget.
Everything
I purchased the car with 69,000 original miles. Literally everything has gone wrong with it. All of the cheap plastic trim has broken. I have had to replace the clock spring twice at $1200 each time. The engine is leaking oil but they can't find from where. I have had to replace the ignition coils twice. The car isn't happy unless one light is on on the dash. It's either the airbag light, the tire pressure indicator, or the check engine light. I also just had to replace the transmission. Save your money, never buy a dodge.
Roomy, good gas mileage
Outdated audio, no rear camera, no nav
I enjoy owning this vehicle. The issues I have mostly our cosmetic for example, the armrest on the driver door is all cracked. I keep the car waxed, but the paint job is not all that good with lots of chips all over. Also, there are six recalls on this vehicle so if you were to buy one this year, I would definitely make sure that those recalls have been taken care of. It’s comfortable And handles well in the rain.
I bought my Dodge Journey new in 2009, it during the cash for clunkers program. It has 248,500 miles on it and still running strong. I kept up with all maintenance schedules, oil changes, tune-ups and transmission services. I did have to replace normal wear and tear items. I also replaced some sensors and parts like starter and alternator. I live in Ohio and it only has 2 small rusts spots on it. I could not be happier with this vehicle. Hopefully I it will make it many more years and miles.
I’ve had this vehicle for 8 years ! I’ve put a lot of repairs into the vehicle such as struts, brakes twice , ball joints , bearings and continued maintenance such as new tires ! Not happy with the Alloy wheels that seem to leak when it gets cold! However 3 years ago this vehicle started to Bubble around the 2 front door handles ! Now at this point their is a large round circle of rust on each door ! This vehicle only has 119,000 miles! I have see other vehicles of the same make & model that are doing the same and are newer than mine ! Is this possible a factor defect that not many have reported !?
I’ve had my 2014 for 1 1/2 years and it’s broken down more times than I can count the gas mileage was broken when I got it starter went out 3 weeks after I got it had to get it towed twice that day, throttle replaced valve cover gasket replaced and it’s still leaking oil, leaking antifreeze, brakes bad, emergency brake doesn’t work
