Hi, so far i do love that car, i have no complaints. Just i was expecting that will be faster as it is. By reading almost 300hp i had higher expectations. Is my first suv though. About gearbox i mean that is not so "smart", tgere is times tgat isnt sure about what to do, downshift or upshift or keep same gear, i assume is something i have to use to.

Hi, finaly i bought a 2014 sxt DJ and so far so good. Mine has the 3.6lt engine and i can't say that im impressed with the power and 6speed transmission.  Maybe mine has any beels and whistles? Has 96.000khm on it, no engine lights or anything un-normal. Cant say that this car has almost 300hp! Maybe because is heavy?

What you think about that vehicle : http://www.autotrader.ca/a/dodge/journey/burnaby/british columbia/5_40620986_20180105210953202/?showcpo=ShowCpo&ncse=no&orup=2_10_10&pc=V4C 7A9&sprx=100

Its a 2013 crew. There is a carproof attached to that page. To me looks like has been serviced only once !

You can check for recalls yourself on the NHTSA website. What price are they asking? What trim level? Do you have the history of the vehicle? These cars can be really really good or really really bad. I believe it all depends on which day of the week the vehicle was built. Late 2012 they upgraded the brakes. Not sure of the exact date. 3.6 is a great engine. 

Looks like he did only 1 out of 3 recalls available. Is early 2012, so no updated brakes on it. I ask for carproof and he said he will have it next week. When you say ''depends of which day of the week the vehicle was built'' what do you mean? Different days different standards :O ? 

 The remain recalls on the car can be done by me If i visit a Dodge dealer? Will be for free or i will need to pay? 

Car price is 10.000CAD+Tax. 

Maybe i should search for a 2013+ and increase a bit my budget?

Hi all,

Im thinking to purchase a DJ 2012 SXT. Im from Greece but currently live in Vancouver CA. That will be my first American car since i was always driving European cars. Im looking for a 2012 SXT 3.6lt engine. I found one with 130k Khm on the clock. I read a lot of negative comments around Web and I'm a bit sceptical about it. 

 Is there any specific thinks that i have to check? Any recalls?  

In general, any help of what to look for will be much appreciated. 

Thanks
