Maybe it's our tires, but our Journey handles like a champ. Our only dislike is that it has a pretty crowded cabin space. It is a limited slip all wheel drive, if you want 4 wheel drive, get a truck or a Grand Cherokee like we did for pulling our boat and other big boy stuff
Hey Brandon, just want to ask since you own one of this if it really has a terrible gas mileage? I ask because this caught my eye in kijiji here in our area in Alberta Canada and I hear two different stories about it. Some say it's good some say it's bad but I'm really drawn to it considering I'm just going to use as my family's winter vehicle. During summer we are all ok with our front wheel sedan but winter is a bit hard for us to go around the city in a honda civic. Just this recent winter we got stock twice. So I hope you can shed some light into this before I proceed to buy.
A request from the past .. nephew just got a 2019 GT as a loaner from the dealer. It slightly vibrates through to the steering wheel at highway speeds (kinda like when a rotor or pad has an uneven surface) I really like the vehicle .... is yours smooth at highway speeds? Thanks
@@paulromano379 Got rid of it years ago Transmission started slipping around 19,000 miles but the dealership was none the wiser. I have a Ram 1500 and a C5 Corvette now.
I actually think it did well. This isn't an ORV. It's a minivan with doors. Give it some good tires and it's going to do well getting you to the grocery store in a snow storm. The Journey took a bath in the reviews because of it's age, but they sold like hotcakes in Northern Michigan, and I understand why. At full price it isn't competitive with other vehicles in its class on the market, but the last few years it was never at full price. And at the price point it was selling at it had AWD, a powerful V6, and seats 5 adults and 2 kids while having some clever packaging. The interior is nice to live with. For a family of modest means that needs an AWD cargo hauler you could get one of these new for an affordable price. I still wish they had that.
Why is it every time the car gets traction and lunges forward the driver lets off the throttle in the diagonal test? The car seems like it would make it just fine and then the driver just backs out of it.
wrong impression! the diagonal test is composed of 2 parts, Getting from the bottom to the top of the hill where we put the most weight on the front right and rear left wheels. Then stopping, the moving away from that position. If you want to floor it with momentum, no prob go for it! Get ready to pick up the pieces!
@@isaiahwilleford4618 what a great idea! let's drive on a flat straight line and see the wheels spin on tarmac...now that will give a great visual: not. we don't care if 0.0009% of buyers do it! we show you a fact about a situation that might happen to you one day if you cross a little ditch! :)
leave tcs on and gently apply brakes while giving throttle iv done it many time in my journey and i go were a jeep 4x4 renagade goes just fine lol even in the diagnal test they are testing if the tcs will work it out on its own but it wont apply enough brake to the spinning tires is what i have learned with the journey
I don't understand why they are testing a Dodge Journey that is over 5 years old... They haven't sold this trim and those wheels since 2012. Also, the Dodge Journey is not meant to go off-road, it has an all wheel drive system that worked in this case (he never got stuck). Also, nobody who owns a journey buys it for its off-road prowess, they want a 3 row SUV that doesn't cost 50k. The Journey is due for a redesign but it serves the purpose it was made for, an affordable 3 row SUV. Fitted with the Pentastar V6 it also has almost 300hp, only the SE trim has the old 2.4l engine only for affordability purposes. The people that complain about the 4 cylinder are the people who bought it because they can't afford any other 3 row SUV with a better engine.
because it's the same thing as a new dodge journey. And this was part of a used car review. We test all suv or 4x4 that we can. Hope it answers your question.
You can see both the front and back wheels spinning(in the other tests than diagonal). The AWD system is doing its job it seems, maybe just needs better tires?
First off a good driver can make or break any vehicle. We own a 2018 dodge journey with 4cy front wheel drive. We paid under $20,000 for it new. it has 80,000 and nothing but tires and oil changes. its a roomy economy vehicle. little ones in the third row and comfortably two adults in front seats and mid rows, three is tight . Tilt back mid row seats also. Its a four banger yes you hear it rev when rpms get up there but loaded down with 6 and a luggage rack on top from Tennessee to Florida and also to Tennessee its a great ride. Factory tires didn't last but i bought some new ones and Walmart all season douglas worked great. I would buy another one if they were going to keep making them.
What tires are on this test vehicle. I ask because in this situation, tires are everything. Example: The General RT43's on my AWD SUV are far superior to the Michelin Defenders that I had replaced, which were just horrible.
These all wheel drive crossover are not built to go off-roading. The awd is more designed for snow and better stability when driving. With the awd on these I have never got stuck in any snow storm and that’s with all season tires.
Well no shit it's not designed to be used like a Jeep. It's a FWD based crossover like a CR-V or Escape. The "AWD" is just there to kick in when a bit of help is needed, but not if you're going to floor it. The clutches will overheat if you're a lead foot, so it will not kick in in order to protect itself from idiots. It also has open diffs. Again it's just a crossover. Not a serious offroader, nor is it marketed as such.
yes...and more: even "real" 4x4 will not pass this useless test if they haven't locked diffs...the "old" Jimny is a real crawler, it goes almost everywhere, but if put it on this test, it will fail at the same way of Journey. Same thing with the classic panda 4x4. Or a Bmw X5 of 90's. This test is not about offroad capabilities and even neither about capabilities on snow or similar situations...is only about the locking capabilities of differentials...Probably, an old Bmw M3 E46, RWD, would be able to pass this test due to her 100% locking diff.
So what is the score for the dodge journey awd. Did it pass or fail. My coworker had one before maybe 2015 model. He got rid of it and told me it was garbage. I don't know if it's because he had a 4cyl or the 6cyl. Must have been the 4cyl cause the pentastar is a good engine. I am interested in one.
2016 Se. Its no jeep but i put inch an a half hub spacers and added a wider taller light duty bf goodrich At on it and the traction control gets shut off in snow no turning pitch no issues like this video feed at all. You change the basic setup it performs better . Junk kmart tires ta boot
Everyone is entitled to theirs opinions and can like or dislike the car but I bought this car a few weeks ago for a first car I'll have to see for myself if it's as bad as ppl say it is
I see a whole lot of people complaining about stock tires are garbage .... point is the awd system is not capable of sending the power to the tires that do grip . Instead spinning the tire with no grip and sending it to the one that does , it does nothing of the sort . If you had studded mud terrains wouldn’t matter because the awd system would be sending power to the wheel with no grip!
You simply apply some light braking force to send the power back to the loaded axles which is what the traction control system is supposed to do. They may have disabled tc or there was an issue with the tc system.
Almost like it's meant to drive on the road and handle icy conditions... you might want to accurately assess the product and not test for things it wasn't designed to do. Plus the R/T doesn't come with all-season tires so you're using the wrong tires.
By the way my Dodge has 170,000 miles and is doing awesome. Question out there does anyone know if anybody has put an off-road package on a journey? There's a lot of skeptics out there but my journey has been through Through oil field dirt road craziness. Offroading is awesome in the journey
Ok performs good needing it for the city and plowed roads I mean it’s that or a Fwd car atleast this has Three rows can fit a family of five comfortably I mean it’s got the extra 50% in the back wheels so obviously I want to stay on the road not taken it off the mountain LOL thank you
I don't agree with this test: I own a Fiat Freemont AWD and I put she in similar situation several times, but my car went througt without problem every time. Indeed, the work of the ESP was very impressive. Actually, seems that your car does not had ESP active at all.
we tested all mode. Even if you don't agree it's the reality! ESP or not, some car will not make it. Listen to the Mazda video that we did, even their engineers suggest we turne them off!
So you're definitely want to get the all-wheel drive and V6 when you get a journey. My journey is exceptionally well in snow. I've driven in crazy amounts of snow no problem. The all-wheel-drive makes a crazy amount of difference. Plus the V6 gives you more power. A stock Dodge journey with front-wheel drive in a 4-cylinder engine is trash.
Yea well I live in the south so I get snow on the road maybe twice every 3 or 4 years lol. I drive it to work and back drove it to FL from TN I've put probably 45k on it in 3 years and haven't had to anything except brakes and regular maintenance of course. Gets around 24mpg I thought I would hate it but I actually really like it honestly.
It looks nice and is roomy but I test drove it (in Europe they only had the 4 cyl - 4 speed automatic) and turned around right away and brought it back to the dealer. This is the worst engine / power train I have ever experienced. Loud and NO power.
each time that i get this question, i remember the purpose of creating those videos! Cause not all AWD system are good and not all of them can send power to all 4 wheel when the conditions needs it!
Are lockers available for the front and rear diffs ? You'd think that the traction control operates like a locker? I think the driver is taking an incredibly dangerous risk in the parking lot. He should do his stunt driving high in the Colorado Rockies, away from all the great grand-children and house pets ! He deserves a $20 000.00 stunt driving ticket, as well as dangerous driving charges, and failure to signal.
The all-wheel drive in my Chrysler Pacifica was much stronger than this. That car had never slipped on me and it was an 05. How the hell did they devolve lmao.
@@straighttothepoint2717 oh and, same as usual that we did.... it sucks. what do you drive? A Journey? a lot of time when somebody turns it against us in a video, they own that vehicle and cant accept the truth!
@@CarQuestion ok then why doesnt my journey ever get stuck in the snow? Oh because i dont step on the brakes when i am trying to make it through 3 inches of snow
Hope someone can answer me: Why, a company who has done before and has already products in the market with better traction control/AWD, design something so bad in the Journey? What they lose if they put a better system in the car? what's really the idea to have a bad one even when many Journey drivers wont do off road, but does it cost really much more to have a efficient system? So many SUV out there with crap system... The Rav4 that has a nice AWD, has a crap traction control that kill all the fun you could have with that car in off road.
Simple it's not to be taken off road, the journey was built as a cheap somewhat reliable suv that can toake you to superstore or Wal-Mart without spending upwards of 35-45k on a new Toyota or Honda. Doesn't make sense to throw upgrading parts on something that was meant to be cheap. You want good off road capabilities you have to pay for it. Car companies now all center around money. The journey is designed to last maybe 10-15 years if youre lucky. After those years it's phased out and you have to buy a new car
Definitely user error. Not saying the AWD Journeys are great in the snow by any means but they certainly aren’t this bad either. It looks like you were intentionally trying to show the vehicle struggling on these “tests”. Giving it too much gas when you shouldn’t be and braking when gaining momentum.
Idk. Owned an AWD Journey a few years back and it made it up steeper inclines than this, in deeper snow with the factory AS Kumho’s tires and it didn’t struggle like the vehicle in this video. Yes, nothing really impressive but I felt like it was adequate when driven properly.
The Dodge Journey Crossover SUV is a good Crossover and it's alright too... But to be honest the 1 big mistake that Chrysler made is that... They should've put the battery at the left bottom behind of the front bumper. It should've been on top beside the engine instead of the bottom. It would of been much easier to take out if it was on top instead of the bottom left behind of the front bumper... That you don't half to take off the wheel off and the panel behind the bumper to make things harder for people that have the vehicle. I don't know what Chrysler was thinking to do such a foolish way to put the battery there. "Biggest Mistake Chrysler Made".
There's no room under the hood for the battery... especially with the v6. Same location for many of their vehicles. It's only a 20 minute job to change the battery.... if you know what you are doing. Dosen't take any longer than doing an oil change.
Bruh just say you don’t know how to whip the bitch in snow. My journey did many days of Uber and lift in shitty Ohio snow an roads, Michigan rubble back roads, all as a fwd 4 cyl. I’ll def be lifting an putting more rugged wheels. I was just a lil tyke with faith in God and my vehicle, and my experience which was lil to none att 😂😂😂 but know when to gas an know when to build momentum an you’ll be good.
Maybe it's our tires, but our Journey handles like a champ.
Our only dislike is that it has a pretty crowded cabin space.

I love my 2018 GT awd. Rips like hell in the snow and drifts better than expected. Idk what this review is but its not that comprehensive.
Yeah I'd like to see in update of yours like you should have put better snow tires on his car like what kind of test was that
@@paulromano379 Got rid of it years ago Transmission started slipping around 19,000 miles but the dealership was none the wiser. I have a Ram 1500 and a C5 Corvette now.
Why do you keep braking when its about to go up the incline? You don't do that with other vehicles.
I brake when it’s not going to go nowhere and before I have to pick up parts
No it won’t go up
Trust me on that
@@CarQuestion Looked like it was moving fine until you braked at 3:26, it sounds like just as it gained momentum you let off and braked...
@@RoastFlea61 it's a diagonal test, not a snow climb test, we brake to put stress on the AWD system, with the snow on the ground we had to do that.
@@CarQuestion I have a 2012 RT and I have taken it through, up, down a lot worse than this and has handled it with ease. I love my RT. Hands down!

Idk. Owned an AWD Journey a few years back and it made it up steeper inclines than this, in deeper snow with the factory AS Kumho’s tires and it didn’t struggle like the vehicle in this video. Yes, nothing really impressive but I felt like it was adequate when driven properly.
The Dodge Journey Crossover SUV is a good Crossover and it's alright too... But to be honest the 1 big mistake that Chrysler made is that... They should've put the battery at the left bottom behind of the front bumper. It should've been on top beside the engine instead of the bottom. It would of been much easier to take out if it was on top instead of the bottom left behind of the front bumper... That you don't half to take off the wheel off and the panel behind the bumper to make things harder for people that have the vehicle. I don't know what Chrysler was thinking to do such a foolish way to put the battery there. "Biggest Mistake Chrysler Made".
There's no room under the hood for the battery... especially with the v6. Same location for many of their vehicles.
It's only a 20 minute job to change the battery.... if you know what you are doing. Dosen't take any longer than doing an oil change.
Now it began very popular in Ukraine!
Journey should be phased out. Terrible car
Funny to read all the beta male Journey fans comments who know nothing about AWD systems or blame it on the tires.
Thanks but not thanks. I rather buy Subaru instead.
It is no Jeep Cherokee that's for sure
Not at all
ESP is off!
Esp is definately ON which is why its doing so poorly
Bruh just say you don’t know how to whip the bitch in snow. My journey did many days of Uber and lift in shitty Ohio snow an roads, Michigan rubble back roads, all as a fwd 4 cyl. I’ll def be lifting an putting more rugged wheels. I was just a lil tyke with faith in God and my vehicle, and my experience which was lil to none att 😂😂😂 but know when to gas an know when to build momentum an you’ll be good.
Dafuq, isn't this Fiat Freemont
You might want to stay on the road if you have no clue how to drive.
Bad quality 4 motion. Not like subaru or audi!
Beaucoup beaucoup beaucoup de problème à ne pas acheté
All that and also a crappy rental car too!
This thing is absolutely terrible!
What kind of test is this?
This whole video is ridiculous.

go back to school and learn about AWD diagonal test.
