Newest car I have owned

This is a perfect family vehicle for 4. Not 5 or more. I love it as it has the comfort and style I like. Don’t get the base model if you want any good features inside the vehicle or if you want to haul a trailer etc.

Dodge Journey

This car is used for my traveling from work to college to home and through it I haven't had a single problem with it. The vehicle is very reliable and is so amazing. I LOVE all the storage it has since I basically live in my vehicle.

Has been a reliable car mechanically, but ...

While this car has been reliable mechanically, but driver convenience and safety are a big problem. Safety: very difficult to see to back safely and ability to safely change lanes is huge! I have had problems with driver convenience since the day I drove it out of the lot. Sometimes the radio will not come on nor can you switch between CD and radio without turning car off, then turn it back on. No mechanic has been able to solve the issue. I had to replace the dashboard screen because it cracked and stop working. The center console is small and there is nowhere to put a trash can.

I drive Dodges and Chryslers for a living.

Very good overall, just like the Dodge Grand Caravan, Chrysler Town and Country, Chrysler 300 vehicles I drive daily for a living for an airport transportation company.

All style, no substance...

It looks nice on the outside, and all of the storage compartments and cubbies make it appear to be super practical and well appointed, but the reality is not so pretty. In seat storage makes for a mushy seat with little support. It sits deep so you don't see the front of the car or even the hood, while sitting in a driving position. I have driven both the 4 cyl, and the 6 cyl models and neither have any power behind them. The third row seating is nice, and easy to pull second row in and out to access it, so I imagine moms with kids would like this vehicle.

Lemon of a car!

We should not have bought this used car! It’s been in the shop nearly ever other month for four years! Be careful when buying this car!

Worst car I’ve ever bought!! We

This has to be the worst car I’ve ever owned...ever. I have had to put in over $5000 over the years to keep it running. Most of the that was within the first 5 years. I believe I bought the Lemon car...and am still having issues. I had to get the seatbelt cover replaced twice and it’s still broken. If I could I’d buy another car....but NEVER a Dodge again!!!
