Used Dodge Journey for Sale near Palatine, IL
Dodge Journey Overview
The originator of the suburban minivan, Dodge has taken a while to join the crossover segment, but finally makes its entry with the 2009 Dodge Journey. Billing itself as a perfect blend of SUV, minivan, and sedan, the Journey will compete with the Ford Edge and the Nissan Murano. Falling stylistically somewhere in between these two, the Journey shares a platform with the Sebring and Avenger, but is two inches taller and five inches longer. This means the standard two row, five-person seating can expand to a 5+2 configuration, with a two-person third row bench.
The Journey's selling point will be its cargo versatility and roomy interior, with reclining rear seats, a second row that moves forward and aft, and raised seating for both second and third rows. Storage bins in the floor, glove box, cargo area, and under seat cushions, along with integrated child seats put the focus on family utility. The crossover will be offered in three trims as a front-wheel drive model, with all-wheel drive available in the performance-oriented R/T. Two engine choices range from a 2.4 I4 to a 3.5 V6, with a diesel engine available outside the U.S.
The Dodge Journey attempts to integrate all the benefits of its genre-defining Caravan minivan, but steer away from the styling stigmas. Though essentially a station wagon, Dodge adds muscular wheel flares, sporty head and taillights, and a rear spoiler to bring its people hauler into the 21st century.

Overall, owners of the Dodge Journey appreciate its spaciousness, comfortable seating, and versatile three-row layout, making it a great choice for families and long trips. Many like the smooth driving experience and the powerful V6 engine, especially in colder climates with higher-end features like all-wheel drive. However, there are notable concerns about reliability, especially with mechanical issues in earlier models, as well as dissatisfaction with fuel economy and certain outdated features like the lack of modern technology such as Bluetooth and rearview cameras. Some drivers have also pointed out concerns about the quality of safety features and overall performance, with some describing it as lacking in power and sluggish at times.

What people say
Excellent vehicle, very nice interior and very well maintained. Drives very well, smooth acceleration and a tight turning radius.
I own a 2016 Dodge Journey and just the other day the drivers head rest popped out . I was changing my seat cover for the head rest when this happened. I tried to put it back in place but there aren’t any clips to fix it so I figure it’s a defect. I’ve read a lot of complaints about this happening. This needs to be placed on the recall list. I have also had trouble with my transmission, which I have also heard bad news about. Hopefully Dodge will figure out and fix these problems.
Ive been driving a journey for 5 years now and I like the car so much that this is the third one I have purchased. I love the amount of leg room and the fact that I dont have to climb up to get into it and I dont have to sit down far to get into it. It drives smooth and this particular journey has many extra features on it that I really enjoy. Such as a sun roof, Bluetooth, Backup camera, and larger viewable screen on the dash. I highly recommend this vehicle.
Good value for basic version. No internet connection. Good stereo system. Handles well on wet roads and interstate highway driving. I love my journey, I will get it upgraded and keep it. Good gas mileage.
Medium sized light duty SUV that can seat six. 4 cylinder FWD provides great snow mobility potential while delivering excellent mpg for its size and utility.
