2018 Dodge Journey consumer reviews

My vehicle has just under 50,000 miles (not hard miles) on it. In March of this year the transmission started to slip. I took it to the same dealership I bought it from. $1000 later they said that there were no noticable issues and no metal shavings when they changed the transmission filter and pan. Fast forward to now, I just finished a drive from Kansas to Mississippi and the transmission has blown. The place it is at right now says that there was no fluid and that the transmission pump is gone. I stated that it was not leaking and they said that is was blown from the top side of the transmission and that it was leaking ONLY when driving. I did not see any leaks or drips on the ground where I parked lately either. They said that this has been a long known Dodge transmission issue. Now I have to decide whether to put in a rebuilt transmission or new. I owe $3000 still on this thing.

Very reliable. Great mpg and overall performance. Interior is comfortable with plenty of storage room. Love this car. I would not hesitate to buy another Journey.

My vehicle has been pretty good up until two weeks ago , September 9, 2022. I experienced a no start situation with the vehicle towed to the dealership and the dealership has no idea what’s happening or watt they report bad battery no charge etc. I’m suspecting that the PCM has a bad chip due to a recall that was performed supposedly in 2018. I don’t believe my vehicle was recalled and have not received a recall notice from Chrysler Corp. so now I’ve got a dead vehicle in the shop the dealership has no concept of what’s happening and the service writer seems to be not knowledgeable enough to research the problem.

Love my Journey but have notice several with a missing antenna and also several with foggy headlights. Like moisture buildup inside the headlight assemblies. Bluetooth doesn't always hook up. Not the easiest on gas.

Motor lacks pick up/passing power. Acceleration is slow at best! As for reliability, the passenger’s light does not work right, there is a slight sputter and a slight rattle in the front end!

3 row seating, v-6, 6 speed automatic, keyless entry, pb start averaging 23 mpg, comfortable on long trips all for less than $25K out the door

So far pleased with the vehicle . Wish it had running boards , front and second row grab handles , and hands free opening and closing of hatch

this suv has transmission problem and defroster not working toooo many problems!!! do not buy this car is my experience i take the car 6 times to dealer to fix they said the car is good just have 6500 miles

It has adequate room for 3 booster seats and great for getting groceries in and out .No need to bend over the lip to lift items in or out ! Drawbacks , no grab handles for driver or passenger , running boards would be great to have an automatic opening and closing for the rear hatch!

Had a 2015 and found it super comfortable on long distance trips. No brainer to do a repeat with a newer model. Car was clean, excellent care, perfect exterior.
