Have a 12 dodge journey crew I love it so far it's good vehicle dodge is a good brand my dad last truck was a 2011 dodge ram 1500 with low mileage it drove really nice
Malik Sahar no did not, however dodge have a recall on the steering cooling lines they replaced them and something to do with ABS, so they did both jobs for free
This vehicle is still hopelessly outdated (the steering wheel and instrument gauges are straight out of 2010), but I have to admit that FCA still makes some of the sharpest wheels in the auto industry. Dodge and Chrysler especially have some beautiful wheel options from which to choose.
The Journey wasn't a good vehicle when it came out. Me and my dad had one as a rental in July 2009, about a year and a half after it came out. Uncomfortable seats, cheap plastic, and rattles on a vehicle that had just been built 4 months earlier. I was only 16 and knew it was a piece of junk. Compared to the 2008 Toyota Highlander we had as a rental on the same trip a year earlier, it was night and day. How Dodge still sells this body style 10 years later is beyond me. I test drove a 2015 Dart on March 23 this year and it felt quite a bit better quality, but still a good step or two below my 2011 Honda Accord. June 2, 2019 3:13 pm
I’ve seen a lot of bad reviews on the journey but I just bought one and I can’t complain has a lot of room and the seats are very comfortable the sound system is awesome.
Just bought a 2019, great car, inexpensive, don't get it without the 6 cyl. I bet all the bad reviews where on the 4cyl. This car moves with the 6 in it.
I bought this and I absolutely love it....nice stable smooth ride with the Pentastar engine... great value for the $$ and just a beautiful vehicle... mine is black with black leather interior...love the sun roof - back up cam, 8inch screen.. the list goes on and on -- I couldn't be happier
boy dodge really got the most value out of this platform....even by today's standards it is more practical than the updated competition....it just works and it sells doubtful a redesign is coming soon
+incediery They have massive rebates at the moment. Anyone looking for a super cheap crossover should check one out. Not to mention Chrysler finance can get just about anyone financed on one of these because of the instant equity.
There are few weak points that need to take care of, transmission needs to change oil better before 60,000 miles, coolant may contain some sand from cylinder casting, oh the front brake rotor. Overall is a good car, I put my 30,000 miles during 1.5 years with a used one. Driving is decent, fuel economy is also good on the highway.
I do think that the journey could use a refresh, not because it looks outdated, but just because it's been the same for so long. The journey is my favourite crossover and the only thing I would change is the headlights. I think the reason why it hasn't been refreshed is because dodge is going with the "if it ain't broke don't fix it".
I agree. The Journey looks way better than all the other Jellybeans on the road. Looks of a vehicle means allot, and this vehicle has excellent looks. Love the granite grey and interiors colors. *****
Sorry if you think you're superior and your shit don't stink. But there comes a time in your life where you have to buy a vehicle such as this for the family of 4+ or more. I myself am considering a Dodge Durango, Ford Explorer or Honda Pilot. I need a 5+ passenger SUV. Good luck belittling people online, keyboard warrior. :P
I want them to ditch the third row because it would give more second row legroom, and also if it's that tight, who would use it? Also, I want better headlamps and tail lamps, LEDs would be great!!
Mike can you have ago at unlocking the cars from inside, say if you were in a restaurant, can you start your car from inside so that the car can heat or cool inside of it before you get there.
Yes If you are at a window of the building and the car is within 300 feet then it can be remote started. We used to start the cars while sitting at our desk at the dealership in the winter time. The Dodge key is amazing how far it can go.
CrazyFastRapper I really enjoyed the exiting model, but they messed up on the new one. Just can't decide to get it or not since I can't find a good review on it.
I started with the 2010 base model, then in 2015 moved to the SXT and I now also have the 2017 Crossroad. But this one has more stuff than mine. I'm jealous. I don't have the heated seats. or the remote start. Too bad for 2020 they have now dropped it from the Dodge lineup. It is the best crossover SUV when you consider its starting price. Especially to have 3 rows. Even though it is technically a small truck, it has more of a car feel which is what I like about crossovers. I hate they are dropping it. I only have just over 24k miles on mine, so I expect it to last quite awhile. Almost done paying for it. I can't wait for that, because I'm not buying another car unless this one dies a horrible death. My dealer was trying to buy it back and stick me in a Durango SXT. I don't want a full size SUV.
Hey what do you think about a Kia Sorento? My mom is getting a new car soon (she says she's gonna drive her 05 explorer until it dies). Is it a good, reliable vehicle? We don't wanna end up with another lemon like the Jeep Grand Cherokee we had in 2005.
So everything I've read has stated a keyless entry and uconnect on the 2017 crossroad trim should have remote start. I have a fob that lacks that option. Does that mean I dont have remote start. I can't find a straight answer to verify that it does or not.
It is not standard in this trim. It is an option. See the buyer's guide in this brochure. www.dodge.com/assets/pdf/brochure/2017MY%20Dodge%20Journey%20eBrochure.pdf
Excellent review! Please help me Here in Turkey, we have exactly same this car under the name (Fiat Freemont), For Dodge Journey, there are but 2009 2010 model (2.0 CRD R/T). So what did you recommend to me: To buy dodge old model. Or Fiyat Freemont new model 2013 2014 Thank in advance
I have a dodge journey 2017, my battery is weak and i realized its placed behind the front driver side wheel, way under the hood. I have to jack up the car and remove the front wheel and the splash casings just to get to the battery. The battery also has very tight space to replace so that will be another challenge. Poor design and stupid engineering from dodge, especially for something like battery which is an essential thing for regular checks. Checked couple of auto shops and they quoted me $150 +tax for replacing battery.
I would like to inform you that the heat rises with speed in the summer and when stopping either in the winter rise at the stop and did not find a solution to this piece and I ask you to help in any information that benefits me
They had at first., but they killed it for me the further you go back., the less the leg room. also no auto electric set's so when driving., it no hassle to adjust the seats with so much pressure to do it in motion. & they should of just added an opt for front wheel to all wheel or 4x4 for today's world. I mean for the price I rather get those missing mentions that is in the Nissan Armada's or Infiniti QX56's w/ DVD changer & more rear room. But good quality video & perfect info though :)

i just checked my journey........sadly my underseat compartment does NOT have gold an $$$ in it.
Send it back, must be a defect
Just bought my wife one of these almost identical to this one. Really like it so far. Drives nice and has quite a bit of power.
Have a 12 dodge journey crew I love it so far it's good vehicle dodge is a good brand my dad last truck was a 2011 dodge ram 1500 with low mileage it drove really nice
The average person that buys this has a small family. This is a perfect car/van/suv for a small family, with average income.
I got 2012 journey Rt loaded, did not change anything in 5 years except the stacks of money under the seat
Malik Sahar no did not, however dodge have a recall on the steering cooling lines they replaced them and something to do with ABS, so they did both jobs for free

All models after 2012 look exactly the same 😂
I drove it to Canada from a car rental and I am in love with the car. So comfortable such a beauty.

Got the 2017 Journey SXT Flex fuel and it’s just amazing
i get horrible mpg using the ethanol 85!
Thank you for this tutorial...I just brought my 2017 home tonight....very informative !!
Instablaster.
How has it been?
I’ve seen a lot of bad reviews on the journey but I just bought one and I can’t complain has a lot of room and the seats are very comfortable the sound system is awesome.
Roberto Martinez how is it holding up so far?
Still holding up pretty good.
Just bought a 2019, great car, inexpensive, don't get it without the 6 cyl. I bet all the bad reviews where on the 4cyl. This car moves with the 6 in it.
I’m planning to buy 2017 model, how is the maintenance/spare parts, is it expensive?
Excellent review!!! Thanks so much. I like this vehicle and would consider purchasing or leasing it for its functionality and versatility.
2015 Dodge journey v6 sxt all wheel drive favorite suv I have owned yet.... getting cold air intake and performance exhaust
Does your recommendation for this vehicle still stand 6 years later cause I am looking and this is a option rite now
I bought this and I absolutely love it....nice stable smooth ride with the Pentastar engine... great value for the $$ and just a beautiful vehicle... mine is black with black leather interior...love the sun roof - back up cam, 8inch screen.. the list goes on and on -- I couldn't be happier
Do you have the Crossroad or the Crossroad Plus?
Not the plus..but it has enough bells and whistles to make me happy
Good review, how's it doing for you now? Any issues?
@@thegorygeek6859 Crossroad........ great vehicle no problems at all~~ 2017
I build Axles for these, just stopping by to check out this beauty. Thank's for the underview. :)
My very first Dodge SUV! Nice video Mike.
This car would be a hot seller if Dodge would just refresh it.
Joel Repass the back looks nice the front looks a little weird but it’s workable.
Joel Repass I agree
The only dodge that out sells it is the caravan. I'd say it is a hot seller.
Its gone after 2020
@@Mac4280 no its not
I just bought my wife a 2011 v6 awd. It suprises me that 6 year later their hardly any changes at all except a few tiny things
I just bought this same car 2017 used and looks brand new. Wondering where is the handle to open the gas door lol!
:)
It would be cool it they're able to refresh this truck to have the dodge racetrack LED taillights in rear and LED driving lights in the front
Nice sound score and review👍

holy crap i have had my 2013 Journey for 6 years and never knew about the passenger seat hideaway
Did you know about the built in child booster seat?
i really like the Journey. i just wish they put the ZF 9 speed on it. that would make this an amazing crossover.
Um wait we not going to sit here and not see all that money in the seat lol
another good review. two thumbs up.keep it up mike. how will you rate this vehicle from 1-10?ty
My 2012 RT has all the features Plus AWD and Sunroof.
Mike can you have ago at unlocking the cars from inside, say if you were in a restaurant, can you start your car from inside so that the car can heat or cool inside of it before you get there.

Does the 20 split side in the 2nd row allow you to access the 3rd row? Trying to figure out car seats placement.
I wonder if they'll redesign it 🤔
I hope so with like some projector headlights
Ikr I have a 2015 and its identical. Except for the cloth in the seats and my stitching is red ...... And...... Um ...... That's it 😆😆😆😆
+ProfessorPig113 oooo that sounds sweet 😍 I never seen one with red stitching
+ProfessorPig113 oh and my radio attena is smaller 😆😆😆😆😆😆
+MrKraft2me it was seriously the only option in my dealer ship 😆 (srry if it sounds rude) well... Mine was the r/t edition
2019 will be the last year of the Journey ?

Man can I keep this 2017 dodge journey man please
Great video and vehicle I just hate where the battery is located.
The logo looks good on the video Mike!
