We've updated the our reliability stats for the Journey to include owner experiences through September 30, 2012.

Repair frequencies, in terms of repair trips per 100 cars per year:

2010 - 56, about average

2009 - 59, about average

We have two additional statistics, "Nada-odds" and "Lemon-odds," to indicate the percentage of cars with no repairs in the past year and those that required 3+ trips to the repair shop.

In the case of the 2009 Journey, the percentage with no repairs is about 67, and the percentage with 3+ repair trips is about 7.

Thank you, once again, to this forum and everyone who has been helping. We'll have further updates in February and May. We'd love to provide precise stats for all model years--just a matter of getting more owners involved!

Thanks for putting a good word in, guys. We should have a partial result for the 2010s with the August update, but really do need more participants to provide a precise result for the second model year. We have 90 2009s signed up, but only 16 2010s.

As an added benefit, I recently enhanced the related repair history survey so that it can (optionally) be used as a personal car maintenance record.

Updated Car Reliability Survey results for the 2009 in May.

53 Journey owners signed up so far--very good for a 2009. Of course, the more owners participate, the better the information we can provide to everyone. Updated results in May.

What many people don't realize is that the odds of getting a no-issue vehicle are quite good with just about anything these days. If each vehicle has a single small repair in its first year, the model is "much worse than average."
