hi,
we have a dodge journey R/T which we leased in March 08. we have had several problems with it including the grinding noise when turning left and the recall for the wiring harness problem. i am really beginning to think that all these problems are just due to the fact that it is a brand new model. our journey was the first one in our region to leave the showroom, and i think that over the past (almost) year since we bought it they've probably ironed out some of the kinks that the model had at first. just my opinion though. i was warned never to buy a car in its first model year, and now i can see why. but really, now that all those little problems have been fixed (free of charge) we really like our Journey! it has loads of cool features, like the under floor storage bins, pop cooler in the dash, touch screen radio, hard drive, 7 passenger seating...lots of things that you don't often see in a vehicle, especially at this price point!
so, all in all, if we knew that all the problems we had with our journey had been fixed in the ones that are coming off the production line now, we'd definitely recommend it to people!
