Am I glad to have found this forum.
First off I love my Journey it is awesome!
We put on a lot of kms every year we got our 09 in august of 08 and have put on 70000kms.
In that time we have replaced the brakes had numerous problems with the electrical from the dvd to the radio and with cruise control not working at all. When we first had the vehicle the first week we had to take it back in to have a part replaced on the tranny. We have had to replace all the wiring for the injectors (they said it was a squirrel chewed them). We have since had to replace all the wiring in the drivers side door and now our lock control on the drivers side doesn't work.
The issues are minor but none of this is covered under warranty. Even though we purchased the extended warranty. We have taken this vehicle from Ontario to Florida and it was amazing we get great gas mileage better than my sisters she has a torrent.
Our model is the SXT FWD we have every option on the vehicle that was available, except leather seats because we have kids we decided against it won't make that mistake again. Ours is the sandstone beige with the tan seats The kids do make a mess.
Overall we love this vehicle we have a saturn ion and it was just to small for us as a family of 4 our other car at the time was a 97 intrepid sport that we loved!! drove it till it died.
We will however probably not buy another dodge as the issues with this one and trying to get it in for service is difficult we will go to the local ford dealership where they have a rental for you and have extended hours because they are in the country.
The dodge dealership has been very good to us for getting it to us within hours but that could be because the manager of the dealership is a friend, not sure if that is normal.
Thanks for all the help in the journey's little quirks glad to know it isn't just me! LOL
