Thank you man! I always get an oil change when I get a new used car, because vary rarely can you really know when it was last done. I'm glad the pep boys guy showed me the air filter because it was dirty lol. But I totally didn't think about the transmission fluid! We also rotated the tires. Thanks again!

I use to have the back up sensors on an old Buick Randevous (sp?) And I loved it, but of course I didn't have a back up camera. If my car had that then I would be fine.

My second car I bought was a rental, and it was well taken care of. And according to the Carfax, the oil changes and maintenance was taken care of. They have to do that, too, because it doesn't make them money or make a happy customer if the car breaks down. It costs them money.

I found out it was a rental car company when I added it to MyCarFax. The antenna was recently replaced, besides that everything else was standard maintenance and oil changes. So far still Loving the car! Will be adding an aftermarket rearview camera so it'll be easier to back up.

Thanks for the reply! Our car Journey has 43000 miles on it, and was owned by a company before me. I know this because the previous owner left their insurance cards and other information and it had a company name on it. So it should have been kept up with their maintenance but obviously I have no way or proving that. Thanks again and have a good day!

Hey guys, My wife and I just purchased the Dodge Journey. We love it so far. It drives nice, the V6 engine is fast pick up and go, and we are getting about 22 MPG so far. We fight now over who get's to drive it to work haha. A good fight to have! I will try to keep this topic updated with my impression's. We're taking it out of town the first week of October and that is always a good test for a vehicle. Anyone have had troubles with these cars? I have read both good and bad things, so just wondering on that. Thanks!

I haven't owned a new car before, but it does sound weird that all those things are wrong. I would take it to a private garage and see what they think. Let us know what happens!
