You have to look at this way , if it's a 2009 most likely all the problems have been worked out . Brakes are a non issue they wear out and if you replace them with quality after market ones the will last. Down here we don't have to deal with rust . My 2009 se is at 130,000 miles and rides like a new truck.
I see lots of journeys running around and I really like the looks of the 2009 model year.
I would not pay to much attention to the complaint web sites , look up any model year of car on those sites and you will see every year make and model of car has problems
When I picked mine up it had 124,000 miles and the dealer had supposly done a full service on it . I ended up replacing the battery , front pads and rotors and also new plugs . Need to take it in for the key fob recall but all others have been done.
I would check to see if the recalls have been done , get a complete brake job and drive the thing .

That's a lot to say is wrong with out doing a tear down . You would have noticed a lot of steam if it got hot enough to do all that .
Get another mechanic.. A lot to go wrong at the same time also . I have termostats cause a over heat but you cap should have blown off pressure . Surprised he did not say the water pump was bad also...
Raditor is a easy fix along with the tank . Replace that and the termostat

That baby had to have gotten very hot , with lots of steam blowing out...never heard of Pistons warping ...heads yes . I would check with another mechanic . . How do you know if the head is warped

Not a problem but wondering if anyone else has noticed this . I can be at just under 1/4 tank of gas , low fuel warning has not came on yet . If I don't fill up completely and just put in say about 13 gals of gas the fuel gage will go all the way to the full mark and then return to just under full after I drive about 5 miles.
Gauge always seems to read a little higher when I gas up but returns to a lower level once I get moving again .
2009 se

Have the same engine in my 2009. @130,000 miles and she still runs and rides like new . Very comfortable ride and the little 2.4 just purrs away . Getting around 26 avg combined miles , I live out in the sticks so most of my trips even to a grocery store is 15 miles of open road.
Very impressed with this little suv and the 2.4 world engine.

That's kind of strange. Are you sure it's not the service advisor or his mechanics that wrote that on the wheel..... Or in a past wheel rotation or tire change ... I would go back to the last person to service the wheels or tires
