AWD having issues

We just bought in Oct a 12 Dodge Journey SXT AWD and it has been a headache since. It had 34,000 miles on it, so still under warranty and we bought the bumper to bumper to 100,000 too.

Well first we had an issue start with it shaking when you let off the gas peddle or brake, like really shaking. This led to check engine light. Went back to dealer and they turned off light and updated something on computer. Though shaking is still there. Then a couple weeks ago it was raining a lot here and I parked it front tires in at a friend's house, back tires on drive front on grass. We had a lot of people there, like 20 cars, so how we had to fit. Went to leave and the mud in the grass starting eating my Journey. I didn't run it like crazy, just tried to back it up. No turning of back tires. (Perhaps AWD doesn't work in reverse). Had to be pulled out by a tractor via trailer hitch. Nice little dent on back end now. A couple days later my check engine light comes on. Went to dealer again. Light is not covered since they can't figure out why it threw the code ($100 to reset). And AWD transaxel fluid is dirty and looks burnt. So we must pay to flush and clean fluid. Again not covered. Chalked it up to $333 mistake. Don't park head in on slippery conditions. Well vehicle back finally and now light is back on again. And we can tell AWD is not engaging again. Dealer is not calling me back. Worried it is another $100 turn off light expense again. Anyone else have this issue? I think this is just a crappy dealer, because we got remote start added and one fob didn't work, and they said sine fob isn't attached, its not covered by warranty, though brand new from mopar. Went to a dealer an hour away just to get fob replaced for bad transmitter, no charge of course.

Oh screw that dealer!!! When. I read that they charged YOU to reset the CEL.. I said out loud "ohh f#%^* that!

I can see them charging if there was no issue at all. But the light came on. OBVIOUSLY! There was a problem with the car.

AWD does work in reverse. Mine does.

Whatever you do, don't go back to that dealer.

Man, I am coming to the conclusion that the AWD system is not really worth the extra problems, money and mileage costs. Our 09 FWD DJ handled the snow arond here like a champ. I will stick with FWD. I would visit another dealer though. And, do yourself a favor, spend $20 and buy a code scanner/reader. One of the biggest rippoffs known today is charging someone to "read the codes". It's not rocket science. My code reader is the best tool in my toolbox.

I tend to avoid cars I have no clue about. AWD is completely foreign to me so I stayed away from them when I purchased my Journey. After reading certain things here I think I made a wise decision.

AWD seems to be a hot topic with our Journey's. More negative than positive.

I did not want the AWD hassles. More parts, more things to go wrong, worse gas mileage, more cost. . . All for that one day that a surprise snow storm is too much for FWD. I don't know, but I think I made the right choice. Best of luck to all those with AWD. Hope nobody has problems.

Did the dealer say what the code was? If so, what were they? They shouldn't be turning CEL's off unless the problem is fixed. Next time you get the CEL you could go to Autozone or Advance auto and have them check the engine light code for free or as mentioned by Mcgusto you can get OBD II scanner for fairly cheap and read the codes yourself.....check out code readers here: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_sc_1_5/187-0253629-6202672?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=obd%20ii%20scanner&sprefix=OBDII%2Caps%2C162 Also as mentioned by others you need to find another dealer or begin to really press this dealer for answers and a final solution with no more diagnosis and turn off payments.

Im having an issue with my AWD .... in the snow and ice storm we've been having in ontario my AWD has been USELESS !!! .... Everytime my front wheels slip, so the trac light comes on - ie: acceleration away from a light - the dash board will *DING* and "Service All Wheel Drive" comes on ..... than i have no AWD .... and these things are useless without it. So I have to pull into a lot .... shut off the truck .... open the door and close it .... lock it with the key fob.... sit like a fool for 5 mins ... unlock with the keyfob, open the door ... close it ... than restart it and everythings great ........................................... until the front wheels slip again and it happens all over again ....... had it at the dealer and they said it had the wrong VIN programmed .. ?? ... it was programmed as a CVP with the smaller rims, VS my R/T with the 19's .... its still doing the same thing .... UGH

Code was AWD/ transaxel fluid overheat. When they looked at transaxel fluid, it was burnt. Finally got call from dealer that new code is 2nd cylinder misfire this time. Just bummed this vehicle got stuck with just two tires in mud and keeps having issues. Plus gas mileage has been awful, like 15-16 mpg even on freeways.

I can kumho is terrible with AWD. Whenever i make a turn on icy road and my front wheel starts to slip. AWD worsen the situation because as soon as my AWD kicks in my journey starts to spin.. So horrible, it happens sometime even im just changing lanes.. Im still very lucky that i didnt hit anything when that happened.. Winter tires is always best bet in my opinion!

I did an experiment of turning off STABILITRACK feature on my r/t. Hope it prevent me from spinning!

I think you guys have AWD issues.

Last couple of snow falls we've had, I porpously make the rears kick in to do a bit of a slide. Not once did the AWD serv light came on.

What's the point if a AWD system that shuts off when the front tires spin. That's THE time it should be coming on!

I agree. Talked to them yesterday after they replaced the 2nd cylinder head for it misfiring. Gas mileage is better. They said it had nothing to do with AWD issue. And haven't seen the AWD light come on, just check engine light. First time we really needed the AWD, mud situation, it quickly burnt the transaxel fluid. They said it should not have done that unless I pushed for 2 mins or longer straight. And the light didn't come on immediately, it came on 3 days later and several miles later. It sucks and we chalked it up to a $333 mistake and hopefully if we need AWD again, it won't have same issue. But if it was slipping and not kicking in, should the light for AWD not have come on?

My son slipped on ice and hit a curb. First problem is that it messed up the rim of front right tire. I've searched every salvage yard in a 30 mile radius and not one has it. Then the AWD! light  came on and wont shut off. It's a 2010. So many issues crazy!

what size rim? factory rim?  why is it crazy, he hit a curb probally damaged the wheel  hub and sensers need to get it into a garage that works on that to have it checked. re[lacement rims cab be bought off mopar  websites listed on internet, some discount the prices a good bit ....good luck  try  www . lkqpickyourpart . com

The crazy part is how many problems I've had with it in a little over a year. Just get one thing fixed and a few months later us another. I think we have put in almost $4000.00 in just repairs. I will look at the mopar site thanks.

That’s a ton of money. What has been done? As stated though,  it’s not the cars fault he hit a curb.

the awd light  could being caused if you are running on the smaller spare tire,even different amount of tread wear can make it come on i believe.

Best and worst Dodge Journey years — which to avoid

We explored the best and worst dodge journey years, pinpointing the models with the most issues and collecting honest opinions from owners, all to offer you an insightful overview of its historical reliability..

A gray Dodge Journey, one of the years to avoid, driving down a dirt road.

Before the discontinuation, the Dodge Journey was one of the best mid-size SUVs produced for a dozen generations, and Dodge didn’t give up on it due to reliability issues. However, that doesn’t mean you can just go ahead and buy any model as some model years have received quite a few complaints.

Don’t go searching through the market just yet, since our team decided to give you all the important details in one guide. We’ve scanned the NHTSA records on common complaints and recalls to give you a complete picture of best years to buy and worst Dodge Journey years to avoid . On top of that, we’ve gone an extra step as we reached out to real Journey owners for their accounts and experiences, so stay tuned for the details.

Why you can trust REREV’s advice on which car model years to avoid: Our car experts look at official data, ask real drivers what they think, and talk to experienced mechanics to make sure our list is useful. This reliable info can make buying a car easier for you. Want to know how we do it? Find out more about our research methodology .

How we rated the best and worst Dodge Journey years

During our evaluation of the Dodge Journey as a model, we’ve gone through the reports on various model years based on several sources. First, we relied on trustworthy organizations like the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and we went through their records including details on recalls and common driver complaints.

After that, we’ve done some more digging on Dodge Journey recalls through reliable platforms like Cars.com, as well as sources of authority like Edmunds and Kelly Blue Book. As mentioned, we wanted to give you honest Dodge Journey reviews and we could only do that by citing some forums with real experiences of previous drivers and Journey owners.

Most common Dodge Journey problems

The Dodge Journey might be a safe and reliable vehicle. However, it is not exempt from faults and flaws. Among the Dodge Journey most common problems you could run upon are brake problems, defective remote keyless entry systems, interior water leaks, or even damaged head gaskets, so we’ll discuss each of those in more detail.

1. Overheating engine

Engine issues are a common issue in faulty Dodge Journey model years. For the Dodge Journey, these problems happened in the 2009-2016 model years, causing overheating once they hit the 78,000-mile mark. This problem is likely caused by coolant flow challenges due to debris locking the cylinder head coolant port at its primary thermostat housing.

At first, the vehicle’s temperature light may turn on, but this worsens over time. Some Journey owners complained that their vehicles experienced engine power loss , leading to overheating. The vehicle may also develop coolant leaks, which become excessive for its overflow reservoir, causing coolant fluid to spill over.

These engine problems are usually expensive and dangerous, depending on where they happen. For a driver, you don’t want to encounter engine issues every day.

2. Brake problems

Brake issues were the most common troubles that plagued the Dodge Journey, especially its 2009-2010 model years. The brakes on these models wear out prematurely , which happens to relatively new Journey vehicles at about 30,000 miles. Some drivers mentioned that this issue has become severe, requiring them to replace their brakes every three months.

The abovementioned issues are among the few brake-related problems you could face if you purchase a problematic Dodge Journey model year. These issues are inconvenient and dangerous, especially for driving at high speeds. You want to avoid a vehicle that struggles with maintaining proper brakes. 

3. Defective remote keyless entry system

The Dodge Journey has many cool features, and the remote keyless system is supposed to be one of them. Instead, the keyless system is another Dodge Journey feature that has become problematic for drivers.

Many frustrated owners complain that the system doesn’t work correctly as it gives off either wrong key readings or the annoying “key not detected” message. The system sometimes interferes with the key fob, preventing drivers from locking or unlocking the doors. To fix this issue, owners may need to do a software update.

4. Interior water leaks

Some owners of the 2009-2018 Dodge Journey models have expressed discomfort caused by dampness inside the cabin. The cabin appears vulnerable to water leaks , typically at a low mileage of about 50,000 to 60,000 miles. According to complaints from owners, the driver’s seat floor of the Dodge Journey may become wet when they travel in the rain.

Other drivers complained that they noticed leaks near the side of the Journey, causing wet floors and carpets. Additionally, some drivers reported leaks near windows, headliners, and vents, and you may need a professional to fix the leaks and resolve the issue.

5. Damaged head gasket

This is another notorious Dodge Journey issue among vehicle owners. Drivers note that this problem commonly happens at about 100,000 miles. It might begin with performance issues and graduate to engine failure over time. This may be due to cracked or damaged head gaskets.

Some drivers have reported having leaky or blown head gaskets , causing severe damage to the engine. Experts recommend a compression test to verify if your Journey has faulty head gaskets. If they are defective, you may replace them yourself if you are a DIYer or have a professional do the job.

Worst Dodge Journey years to avoid

The Dodge Journey has had several great models; however, there are also some model years you should avoid if you intend to purchase a Dodge Journey. Below is a list of Journey model years to avoid:

Naturally, our team will get you through all these model years and their issues so you can have an easier time picking the most reliable Journey model.

First-generation Journey (2009-2012 model years)

The 2009 Dodge Journey was the first model of this generation, and it was associated with numerous problems and complaints from drivers. Its prevalent issue was with the brakes, and many drivers complained of frequent brake replacements within a short timeframe. These drivers point out that the vehicle is too heavy for the brake pads and rotors.

Other drivers reported that regardless of how gentle you are with the vehicle, it doesn’t stop the brakes from wearing out at 30,000 miles or earlier. Additionally, the braking power isn’t sufficient for the size of the vehicle and can lead to disastrous accidents in the worst cases.

Another issue of the 2009 model year was with its transmission, which caused rough gear shifting . Some drivers complained that shifting the vehicle out of the first gear was difficult, especially during cold weather. Also, several drivers report that their transmission fails at around 60,000 miles, causing them to abandon the vehicle.

The 2009 and 2010 models were also plagued by electrical faults that prevented the engine from turning over, which may be caused by the neutral safety switch losing communication with the shifter. Most drivers had to put their vehicles in neutral to get the engine to start up. Some drivers also complained that they experience these issues on other components like the horn, windows, radios, etc.

2011 Dodge model year also had issues with the brakes, but unlike the 2009-2010 models, which had brakes that required premature replacements , the 2011 model had brakes that made grinding and squealing sounds. In addition to the noises, drivers complain that their 2011 Journey shakes the steering wheel while braking.

Best Dodge Journey years

The Dodge Journey has several years, which drivers have confirmed to be reliable while offering remarkable performance. So, are you still wondering what are the best Dodge Journey years to buy? The best Dodge Journey years are 2005, 2017, and 2020. Still, there’s a full list of best-rated models:

These Dodge Journey models are some of the best years to date and provide excellent performance. If you are searching for the best Journey years to buy, these years are great choices, and they would give little to no problems without any cause for expensive repairs.

2005 Dodge Journey

Based on all the available NHTSA records and reliability reports, the 2005 Dodge Journey is the best model to date. It only received a few complaints including some engine cooling difficulties, but none of those reports were sufficient to place the model on a list of problematic years.

With a clean reliability record , the model scored a decent overall rating of 4 out of 5 based on reliable automotive agencies.

2017 Dodge Journey

As for the later model years, the 2017 Dodge Journey made it to the list as one of the most reliable options. It received model-specific concerns with some of the main complaints being related to A/C heater faults and electrical malfunctions.

2020 Dodge Journey

Finally, we can’t leave out the 2020 Journey model which also proved to be pretty reliable with just under 10 reliability concerns. Among those, drivers have mostly reported problems with seat belts and brakes, while the model received an overall rating of 4.2 out of 5 on Cars.com and similar sources.

Is the Dodge Journey worth buying?

The Dodge Journey is an excellent SUV with remarkable performance. However, it doesn’t have a reasonable edge over its rivals, as consumers complain that the vehicle is made from cheap interior materials and lacks a host of safety features that can be found in most competitors.

If you’re eyeing versatile SUVs check out Ford Explorer Sport Trac years to avoid , Nissan Xterra years to avoid , or Mitsubishi Outlander years to avoid . While these vehicles are known for their ruggedness and capability, it’s vital to consider that not all model years have lived up to expectations.

What is the most common problem with the Dodge Journey?

The remote keyless entry system is Dodge Journey’s most reported issue. According to drivers, the system gives off the wrong readings or the u0022key not detectedu0022 message.

Is a Dodge Journey a reliable car?

The Dodge Journey is reliable as long as you keep away from its worst model years.

How many miles can you expect from a Dodge Journey?

The Dodge Journey can last up to 200,00 miles under ideal maintenance conditions.

Should I buy a Dodge Journey?

Yes, you can buy a Dodge Journey; however, you want to avoid buying its worst years. Also, it would be best if you considered its interior before making a purchase.

Dodge Journey 2010 Problems

Are you having problems with your 2010 Dodge Journey? Let our team of motoring experts keep you up to date with all of the latest 2010 Dodge Journey issues & faults. We have gathered all of the most frequently asked questions and problems relating to the 2010 Dodge Journey in one spot to help you decide if it's a smart buy.

2010 dodge journey rt awd problems

Ewan Kennedy reviews the 2008, 2012 and 2015 Dodge Journey as a used buy.

Despite looking like a macho SUV, perhaps even a full-on 4WD, the Dodge Journey is actually a sensible people mover with three rows of seats and the ability to carry seven adults. Four adults and three children is a more realistic load.

Note that it’s a 2WD, front wheels only, so shouldn't be taken off the beaten track. Dirt roads and forest trails are fine if you know what you’re doing, beaches are a definite no-no.

The Americans love their minivans and Dodge Journey has been a big success on the other side of the Pacific, but sales here have been only moderate since it first arrived downunder in August 2008.

Journey’s interior is very versatile; the second row seats three and can slide back and forward to let you juggle legroom with those in the rearmost seats. Entry and egress to the third-row seats isn’t too bad, but as is usually the case those seats are better suited to the kids as suppleness is required. Also check the foot-room in rear if larger littlies are going to be back there.

The second and third row seats each sit slightly higher than the ones in front to improve forward visibility.

There are plenty of stowage areas for various items, including two bins under the rear floor. The backrest of the front passenger seat folds down leaving a work area for the driver.

Though it’s relatively large, the Dodge Journey is quite easy to drive as it’s more than the typical American minivan. However, forward-side visibility is hampered by large windscreen pillars that sit a long way forward of the driver’s seat. A turning circle of almost 12 metres doesn’t assist manoeuvring in carparks.

Handling of the Journey is competent enough – for a people mover, that is – and unless you do something really silly you aren't likely to get into trouble. Electronic stability program , to assist in crash avoidance, is standard in all Journeys.

Power is by either a V6 petrol or four-cylinder turbo-diesel engine. The petrol unit in the original 2008 model had a capacity of 2.7 litres and had barely enough performance. Try for yourself on hilly roads with a bunch of passengers on board if you’re likely to be travelling with that sort of load in those conditions. From March 2012 a far more suitable V6 petrol, now of 3.6 litres, improved things considerably.

Dodge Journey’s 2.0-litre diesel can be slow off the mark, but once it’s up and running it has good torque for overtaking and hillclimbing.

At the same time as the 2012 introduction of the bigger petrol engine the Journey received a facelift and tail tuck as well as some interior updates, the latter including a new dash design.

The Journey has good under bonnet space and home mechanics can do a fair bit of their own work. Don’t touch the safety items, though.

Spare parts prices are about average. We have heard complaints about bits not being available and about long waits for parts coming from the USA. It might be an idea to contact your local Dodge / Chrysler dealer to have a talk about this before committing to purchase. These days Fiat and Chrysler operate together globally so Fiat dealers may be able to assist.

Insurance companies seem to look at the Journey as an SUV and charge accordingly. Having said that, costs are about average for that class.

The Dodge Journey is built in Mexico to a reasonably high standard. It has a good paint finish and panel fit, but the interior and trim aren't always as neat and accurate as in Japanese and Korean cars.

Look for damage to the carpets, seats and door trim for signs of either poor build or damage caused by unhappy children.

The petrol engines should start almost straight away. If not there could be problems.

Diesel engines can take a few seconds to get up and running, especially when cold. A warning light lets you know when the engine has gone through its pre-heat stage.

Automatic transmissions should work smoothly and easily, but that in the diesel might be a bit recalcitrant at times at very slow speeds. Get a professional to check it if you have any doubt.

Brakes should pull you up in a straight line without wavering.

Uneven tyre wear me be caused by bad driving or a suspension problem. In either case it’s a good sign to keep clear of the car.

Brake wear is a serious problem with the Journey as we reported in  our used car review recently. Your experience is common. Some owners have had success in getting Chrysler to cough up for the new pads and rotors when their cars are under warranty, like yours is, so I would continue to press your case with the company. The unfortunate thing  is that you can expect to have to replace the brakes at regular intervals of the sort you've already experienced for the life of the car. I would suggest legal action if you feel strongly about it.

It's not news that peoplemovers aren't sexy.

They're practical, efficient transport for large families, but with the Journey Chrysler attempted to sex up the image of the box-on-wheels by making it look like a much more sexy offroader.

Although the Journey looks like an offroader, it's really a front-wheel drive, seven-seat peoplemover. But it's not the huge monster the term peoplemover suggests; it's actually modestly sized, particularly given that it will accommodate seven adults in quite acceptable comfort.

It's inside where the Journey stars. First, it has three rows of seats arranged in studio style; with each row higher than the one in front as you move back in the vehicle. That means everyone gets a good view, which isn't always the case with peoplemovers.

In addition the second row seats can be split, slid fore and aft, and tilted, while the third row seats can be folded flat or split 50/50, for the sort of flexibility a family on the move needs.

There's plenty of space left behind the third seat for carrying things, and there's a plethora of other storage possibilities with bins, pockets, cubbies, trays and underseat storage space spread throughout the cabin.

Chrysler offered two engines in the Journey, a 2.7-litre V6 petrol and a 2.0-litre common-rail turbo-diesel. While they both did a workman-like job of moving the Journey along, they both struggled under the weight of the task.

Performance as a result was adequate rather than brisk. There were also two transmissions of offer. If you bought the V6 you got a conventional automatic with sequential shift, but if you opted for the diesel you got a six-speed dual-clutch DSG gearbox.

Chrysler offered three models in the range, from the entry level SXT, through the R/T and finally to the R/T CRD diesel. All were well equipped, even the SXT had dual-zone climate controlled air, cruise, power driver's seat, and six-stacker CD sound, while the R/T models had leather trim, a reversing camera, and heated front seats.

The earliest Journeys to hit our shores are now four years old and have on average accumulated up to 80,000 km. The good news is that, to date, they have been fundamentally sound, and there have been no reports of issues with engines, gearboxes, even the DSG, or drivelines and chassis.

The only serious problem of a mechanical nature that has shown up is the rapid wear of brakes. There appears to be no issue with the actual braking of the car, but it seems the braking system has to work hard to stop the car and wears as a result.

Owners report having to replace, not only pads, but also disc rotors after 15,000 to 20,000 km. That usually results in a bill of around $1200, something owners can expect to face on an on-going basis for as long as they own the car, and something that prospective buyers should take into account when considering a Journey.

While brakes are not generally covered by the new-car warranty, Chrysler is being co-operative in replacing rotors free of charge when owners arc up. Build quality can be variable and that can show up as squeaks, rattles and cabin components failing, falling off, buckling and warping etc.

When inspecting a car prior to purchase give the interior a thorough going over, make sure all systems work, and there's nothing about to fall off anywhere. We have had one report of a radio going on the blink, and the owner has been waiting for several months for a replacement to arrive.

Owners have also told us of difficulties they've had in getting parts when their cars do strike trouble. One has been waiting for more than a year for a catalytic converter to replace the one that has failed on his car. But despite the problems most owners say they are more than happy with the practicality of the Journey for use as family transport.

2010 dodge journey rt awd problems

Here's our guide to the five biggest-selling people movers on the market (2010 year-to-date, VFACTS).

1st -  KIA GRAND CARNIVAL Price : from $41,490 driveaway (Platinum $54,990 driveaway) Engine : 3.5L/V6 202kW/336Nm Transmission : 6-speed auto Economy : 10.9L/100km Rear space : 912L (rear seats up), 2380L (rear seats down) Rating : 79/100

A new engine has given new life to Australia's biggest selling eight-seater. Families used to snap up the base Kia Carnival because it was the cheapest on the market but now the prices range over $50,000 for the Grand Carnival. Kia now says the bulk of sales (Carnival and Grand Carnival sales are counted together) are for these more expensive versions. That's a lot of money for a Kia but, complete with some quirky features, it does deliver on power thanks to the new 3.5-litre V6. It almost seems too much power when the car is light with only the driver on board.

Load it up though and there's plenty of room for passengers and luggage. We recently took the car to the NSW south coast for a weekend away this month and it was a comfortable highway cruiser with some bite around town with six people on board. However, there are some unusual features that take some getting used to. The controls to move the driver's seat are on the door. It took some time to find them but the more you got used to the car the more it actually became a handy location. It is particularly useful when you open the car after someone else has been driving and need to adjust the seat. It allows you to move the seat before getting in.

The footbrake is released by a separate lever near the steering wheel which also proved hard to locate. The big car also has a reversing camera . But not on a screen where just about every other car has it. Instead it was a tiny screen on the rear view mirror which prove d hard to see because of outside light on it and really too small a picture to be handy. There are plenty of cupholders and the retractable table between the two front seats is great for holding mobile phones and the like. The electric-opening back door is important for ease of access when loading and the second and third row seats cleverly fold down to improve access.

2nd - HYUNDAI iMAX Price : from $36,990 Engine : 2.4L/4-cylinder 129kW/228Nm Transmission : 4-speed auto Economy : 10.6L/100km Rear space : 851L (rear seats don't fully fold down) Rating : 75/100

The biggest people mover here has been a surprising sales success in Australia. It's more like a van than a car in its looks, handling and raw feel. Yet Hyundai 's competive pricing has lured buyers. The engine noise is loud inside. The interior is fairly bland and plastic but there are plenty of cupholders. Big is beautiful in this market though and there's copious space for passengers plus all their luggage. There are both petrol and diesel, but the automatic only petrol version is more popular, even though the diesel is more fuel-economic.

3rd - TOYOTA TARAGO Price : from $50,990 Engine : 2.4L/4-cylinder 125kW/224Nm; 3.4L/V6 202kW/340Nm Transmission : 4-speed auto; 6-speed auto Economy : 9.5L/100km; 10.3L/100km Rear space : 4-cyl 466L (up), 1161L/100km (down); 6-cyl 549L (up), 1780L (down) Rating : 81/100

Toyota reliability teamed with price and a wide range has seen the Tarago as a favourite of large families, fleets, hotels and rental car companies for years. The V6 is a much better car than the four-cylinder but it costs more. The most expensive model costs more than $70,000. Apart from the extra power, which overcomes the sluggish feel of the four when it is loaded up, the side vision is better and there's more storage room inside.

4th - HONDA ODYSSEY Price : from $41,990 (Luxury $47,990) Engine : 2.4L/4-cylinder 132kW/218Nm Transmission : 5-speed auto Economy : 7.1L/100km Rear space : 259L (rear seats up), 708L (rear seats down) Rating : 80/100

Sex appeal has sold the Honda  Odyssey for years. It is more car-like in its looks and feel than its competitors, it sits lower on the road and is good looking for this class of car. It has plenty of room inside and comes complete with plenty of cupholders and a handy retractable table between the front seats. The earlier models suffered from the lack of  a full lap and sash seatbelt in the centre of the second row but this is thankfully a thing of the past. It is not the most powerful car here and has less storage space in the back than many of the others but it rates strongly on looks.

5th - DODGE JOURNEY Price : from $36,990 (RT $41,990) Engine : 2.7L/V6 136kW/256Nm Transmission : 6-speed auto Economy : 10.3L/100km Rear space : 167L (rear seats up), 1461L (both 2nd and 3rd row seats down) Rating : 78/100

Although it is one of the few peoplemovers offered with a diesel engine , buyers have preferred the mid-range petrol R/T model . The Journey has a few more tricks and features than some of its competitors and offers a beefier, more muscly styling. It is more of a cross between a 4WD and a people mover than its rivals. It has received a safety and features upgrade for 2010.

OTHERS TO CONSIDER

The next two best selling people movers in Australia at the moment are the smaller Toyota Avensis and Kia Rondo. They have less powerful engines than the top five and also have much less rear seat leg room and storage room in the back. While adults can happily sit in the rear row of the top five, it's really kids-only in these two. The Avensis, also is quite an old model, having been around since 2003.  However both rate well on price and suit smaller families looking for something more practical than a station wagon.

6th - TOYOTA AVENSIS Price : from $39,990 Engine : 2.4L/4-cylinder 118kW/221Nm Transmission : 4-speed auto Economy : 9.2L/100km Rear space : 301L (rear seats up) Rating : 75/100

7th - KIA RONDO Price : from $24,990 Engine : 2L/4-cylinder 106kW/189Nm Transmission : 5-speed manual, 4-speed auto Economy : 8.6L/100km Rear space : 184L (rear seats up) Rating : 75/100

2010 Dodge Journey review: Our expert's take

The Dodge Journey is the epitome of the term “mixed bag.” It does some things pretty well and some not so well. I found the Journey to be weakest in the city — running short errands, ferrying one person or driving narrow streets. By comparison, it’s at its best making grocery runs and cruising on the highway. But that’s not to say it’s a slam-dunk winner in either role.

City & Highway Acceleration If you’re considering buying this car, the most important thing you need to do is take it on a highway and pass someone. The Journey isn’t great at accelerating at any speed, but going from 40 to 60 mph really took more time than I thought it should, including waiting for the engine to rev up and the transmission to kick down.

I tested the top-of-the-line R/T with a 235-horsepower, 3.5-liter V-6, a six-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. Dodge also sells a base Journey with a 173-hp, 2.4-liter four-cylinder that’s paired with a four-speed automatic.

You can get the Journey with either front- or all-wheel drive, and it’s possible that the approximately 200 pounds of extra weight that all-wheel-drive models carry contributed to the lackluster acceleration.

The Journey moved decently in the city. It took off from stoplights well for something this big, but that was the lone bright spot in terms of acceleration. The city was also where the Journey’s mixed bag of attributes really became evident.

Visibility & Ride Don’t ask me where the Journey’s front bumper is — I still don’t know. And that’s after driving it for a week. In other words, visibility out the front wasn’t very good. I was always misjudging how far into a parking space I was.

The Journey also feels bigger than it is. No matter where I drove, it felt like the Journey was as wide as whatever lane I was in. In reality, it’s smaller than the Audi Q7 I tested recently, though it feels much bigger. (And before you say, “The Journey doesn’t compete with the Q7!” I’m merely pointing out the difference in how the cars feel.)

The Journey’s ride is also mixed. Cruising on the highway, it’s comfortable. There’s some floaty sensation when going over hills and the like, but overall I liked it. Tooling around town, however — especially in Chicago, where the roads stink and the traffic is stop-and-go — the Journey feels like an older SUV. There’s a lot of jiggle — almost like the chassis was shuddering, but not severely — and a lot more of that floaty sensation when traveling over rough spots. I wasn’t a fan.

Utility & Interior Our Journey came with an optional third-row seat that must have been designed for small children, because it’s tiny. Fold the seat, though, and you’re treated to a very large cargo area. I was almost able to fit a large ironing board in back without folding the second row. I’ve also used the Journey for ski trips and tested it as a Weekend Athlete vehicle , and it’s fairly handy.

The Journey’s interior makes it one of a couple cars I’ve driven lately that I actually prefer to drive at night. The version we tested came with an option package that included LEDs for the driver and front passenger, but Dodge really nailed the lighting for the buttons and controls — things not touched by the LEDs. It’s not too bright and distracting, but it’s also not so dark you can’t see what you need to see. It’s very well done.

The steering wheel is the right size, and the leather you can get it wrapped in feels good. As you spend most your driving time with your hands on the wheel (hopefully), a little effort in this area goes a long way.

Second-row room is … OK. Bear in mind, I climbed in back with the driver’s seat set for me, and I’m 6-foot-1. Two taller people would find it tiresome to share that space on a long drive, but shorter folks probably wouldn’t be bothered. Also, the second-row seat is comfortably wide, so as long as you’re not tall, the Journey’s backseat would be fine on long highway trips.

Outright dislikes Yes, there were some things I wasn’t over the moon about. The good news for people considering the Journey is that almost all those problems are solvable. Basically, whether I was folding the seats, changing the radio station or inputting a destination in the navigation system, nothing worked as I expected it to. Everything required at least two steps, one of which made no sense at all, and the controls for the radio and navigation system felt cheap and responded sluggishly.

These kinds of things are usually a bigger deal for auto critics than auto owners, because if it’s your car, you learn the steps, get used to them and it all becomes second nature. But I’ve driven cars more advanced than the Journey that took only 30 minutes to figure out. This car took my entire week with it to figure out, and I never got used to the controls’ hesitation. It could be better.

Also, whoever designed the navigation readout made a mistake, because it’s impossible to read street names; they’re all lettered in black and edged in white. I gave up even trying to read them two days into my test and was much happier.

Mileage, Safety, Reliability, Compare The 2010 Dodge Journey is an Insurance Institute for Highway Safety Top Safety Pick. It earned scores of “Good,” the highest rating, in frontal-offset, side-impact, roof-strength and rear-impact tests. Check out the Standard Equipment & Specs page for a full list of safety features.

According to Consumer Reports, though, the Journey’s predicted reliability is much worse than average. The Journey is dragged down by poor ratings in the squeaks and rattles and power equipment categories.

The V-6 Journey’s EPA-estimated mileage is 15/23 mpg city/highway with all-wheel drive, but the crossover is rated as high as 19/25 mpg with front-wheel drive and a four-cylinder.

The Journey was introduced for the 2009 model year, and changes for 2010 are more incremental than major, but judge for yourself here .

Journey in the Market The Journey is not my favorite three-row crossover, but what really hurts it is that it is a three-row crossover. The fact is, if you want to haul that many people and cargo, a minivan is a superior vehicle. I’ve tested the Chrysler Town & Country, and it was easier to drive than the Journey. It’s more expensive than the Journey, sure, but if you pick the Town & Country’s sibling, the Dodge Grand Caravan, you’re looking at roughly the same price for a more practical vehicle.

Now, in the real world, I know once people decide on a crossover they won’t cross-shop it with a minivan. Fine.

In the field of three-row crossovers, the Journey doesn’t offer anything that makes it an outright winner. Yes, the highway ride is good, and the ergonomic things that annoyed me would fade the longer I drove it. Seating room is OK, too, if you’re not a giant. So maybe if I lived in the suburbs, had a small family and spent most of my time cruising (but not passing) on highways, I’d like it more. Even at that, though, I’m still not sold on it. The fact is, sooner or later, I’d find myself stuck in a city or stuck trying to pass someone at speed, and I wouldn’t be happy.

If I were shopping for this type of car I’d also give a lot of weight to predicted reliability, so the Journey’s poor performance in this category would weigh heavily, even though the things that drag it down aren’t transmissions or engines. Its safety ratings are excellent, but, sorry, I just don’t weigh that as heavily as other factors. That’s just me, though.

In the end, I’d recommend giving the Journey a test drive, but I’m betting it will turn out to be the car that sets the baseline for you. Anything I would actually buy would have to perform better than the Journey did.

Dodge Journey

This midsized, car-based SUV was one of Chrysler's better offerings, but it is not without its flaws. The Journey has a versatile interior with a third-row seat and lots of clever storage areas. The cabin is quiet, handling is secure, and the powertrain is refined. Interior materials were better than those of many other concurrent Chrysler products. But the ride is unsettled, agility is lacking, and fuel economy isn't great.

The 2011 reworking brought a much nicer interior and a better V6, but the lack of agility and still-mediocre fuel economy keep it out of the top ranks. Plus it was more expensive than many better rivals. Poor IIHS small overlap crash-test results and below average owner satisfaction add to the long list of demerits. Three row seating became standard for 2018.  Ultimately, we think you'd be better served looking at something else. The V6 engine and all-wheel drive were dropped in 2020 and the Journey finally came to an end.

2010 DODGE JOURNEY PROBLEMS

After releasing the worst model year in 2009, Dodge Journey improved its design with the new 2010 Dodge Journey model year. While the model year had lots of improvements, it still was ranked as the second-worst model year according to the carcomplaints.com website. This website intends to allow vehicle owners to report complaints about any issue they face during the lifetime of their vehicles. 

2010 dodge journey rt awd problems

According to carcomplaints.com, the total reported complaints decreased from 962 to 471 between the years 2009 and 2010. 471 is still a high number of complaints when it comes to vehicles. The most-reported complaints about the 2010 Dodge Journey had to do with the brakes and electrical problems. 

Luckily, the highest complaints reported about 2010 Dodge Journey problems were related to issues that required relatively lower repairs costs. In other words, less reported complaints had to do with engine or transmission failure. Since this is the case, the high number of complaints doesn’t always suggest staying away from the vehicle model and year. Any new buyer should consider the number of complaints along with the type of problems before making the buying decision.

 The long list of reported complaints did not prevent people from buying the 2010 Dodge Journey. The car has a lot of pros, including the very nice interior and the great safety scores. The vehicle was ranked as one of the top 2010 affordable SUVs with three rows, 2010 affordable Midsize SUVs, 2010 affordable crossover SUVs, according to cars.usnews.com .

In this article, we would like to provide an overview of the main 2010 Dodge Journey aspects. Then, we will walk you through the most commonly reported problems by owners to carcomplaints.com . Along with the problem, we will also list the common repair options and costs in addition to the problem ranking.

2010 Dodge Journey description

Before we discuss the different problems associated with the 2010 Dodge Journey, we would like to provide a high-level description of the main aspects of this vehicle. This description is based on intensive research from different trusted resources. 

2010 Dodge Journey is the second model year by Dodge Journey. The vehicle seats up to five passengers, and it has a relatively good fuel economy. Other than these features, the owners did not like other aspects of this car, especially the poor interior and cheap-fealing material.

Perm: Europe's easternmost city

2010 dodge journey rt awd problems

The city of Perm, located in the Urals foothills, is, geographically speaking, the most easterly city in Europe. Yekaterinburg, which is situated further to the east, beyond the Urals ridge, is located in Asia. Yet, while the whole world thinks that Europe ends at Perm, its citizens are convinced that it begins there.

Perm owes its birth to the mountains that separate Europe from Asia. One of the first copper-smelting works in the Urals was built there in the early 18 th century. As production developed, the settlement grew and Empress Catherine II (the great) soon signed a decree creating the city of Perm around the plant. For centuries, the city developed as an industrial center, so it is not surprising that the working people in Perm welcomed the October Revolution of 1917. In 1940, the city was renamed Molotov, but not for long, as its former name was restored in the late 1950s. Today Perm is a leader of Russian heavy industry.

In recent years, however, the city has been striving to rid itself of its image as Russia’s industrial capital and be recognized as a cultural capital. Can a mighty industrial city, studded with factories, turn overnight into a capital of fashion shows, music and modern arts? The local people are confident that they can do it; the local museum features ancient local artifacts such as wooden idols and bronze animal medallions alongside modern art. Artists and musicians come to Perm to lecture and give master classes and, once every two years, the city hosts the Diaghilev Seasons, a classical festival in memory of the famous ballet impresario Sergei Diaghilev. This is not accidental – the guiding spirit of the famous Russian Seasons in Paris lived in Perm with his family for a long time and graduated from the local school. This year, the city had its first ever White Nights multicultural festival, which lasted a whole month. The authorities hoped the festival would attract hundreds of thousands of tourists but in reality there were fewer. This was partly due to poor promotion of the festival events and partly to the lack of a convenient tourist infrastructure, including information centers, cheap hotels, bicycle rentals and even toilets.

Even so, Perm is persevering. Like other major Russian cities, last June Perm opened a pedestrian street, its answer to Moscow’s Arbat. At present, it looks somewhat wild and provincial: a patchy asphalt surface, street vendors with nothing to do, a couple of artisans and a children’s playground. Yet the pedestrian street is already included in the standard sightseeing tour that winds around the center. The tour, called The Green Line, links key historical sights of old Perm such as merchants’ houses, churches and monuments. Not surprisingly, it also includes museums, such as the Perm Museum of Local Lore housed in a sumptuous villa that used to belong to the arts patron Nikolai Meshkov. This imposing building, with its columns and stucco moldings, overlooks the Kama River. Its storerooms and exhibition halls contain all the treasures of the city’s many centuries of history. A little back from the riverbank, the Museum of Perm Antiquities features a vast paleontology collection: skeletons of the ancient lizards that gave their name to one of the Palaeozoic periods and the legendary Perm mammoth. An alternative tourist route, called The Red Line, was inaugurated more recently. The places of the greatest romantic dramas played out in the city are marked in red on the city map.

Works of art and stone monuments are not the city’s only attractions. Because of its unusual history and geographical position, Perm has produced many remarkable personalities, some of whom became legends in their own lifetime.

Take Alexei Bessonov, a well-known local communist, an active blogger and an irrepressible public campaigner. He jogs in the morning and, thanks to his robust health, is ever ready to fight for the ideals of the Communist Party. He has come up with some startling initiatives. For example, he proposed turning the city hall into a pretrial detention centre and he tried to organize guerilla units to oppose the cultural reforms. Bessonov’s activities are hailed by the local media, and he has long been a living legend in the city. You can see him all over the place: In the morning he often jogs through the city’s main streets and, at noon, he can be seen leading a demonstration and carrying a banner in front of government buildings. Another local celebrity is Alexander Zhunev, a street artist who holds degrees in economics and geology. When he painted his first graffiti in 2008, he realized this was what he had been born to do. Now people come from afar to look at his works. If you see a portrait of the poet Sergei Yesenin that is as tall as 10-storey building, or Spongebob Squarepants atop an electrical transformer box, or public phones in the shape of a fish or a cat’s head, you can be sure Alexander Zhunev has been here with his spray paint. And it is a good idea to visit the places that he has visited.

In contrast, Mikhail Shmakov has disliked Perm from the time he was a child. He thought the city was drab and gloomy. To escape the drabness, Shmakov and his wife set out on a voyage around the world. They have already crossed Africa and South America. Having seen half the world, Shmakov now admits that he does not want to leave his home city for good.

“Paradoxically, after visiting thousands of cities, it was brought home to me that I was lucky to have been born in Perm,” Shmakov said. “I have hated Perm all my life but have recently come to like its cozy provincial style and atmosphere of a wilderness.”

The “wilderness” surrounds the city in the shape of thick forests and the deep, dark waters of the Kama, a major river that slashes right through the middle of Perm. Today, though, the city is divided not only by water. One part dreams of turning it into a cultural capital and the other part wants it to be an industrial city, as of old. How to keep both camps happy? Perm is in the midst of stormy processes that will certainly be interesting to watch.

Pitirim of Perm

Saint Pitirim, Bishop of Great Perm , (Vytchegda) was chosen and consecrated to the See of Perm after the suffering and death of St Gerasimus of Perm (d. January 24 1441). Before becoming bishop, Archimandrite Pitirim was head of the Chudov monastery. He later became known as the composer of the Canon to St Alexis, Metropolitan of Moscow ( February 12 ), and also wrote his Life. He is commemorated by the Church August 19 .

As bishop, St Pitirim first occupied himself with establishing friendly relations between the Zyryani and Voguli peoples. He circulated admonitory letters and messages, seeking to defend the Zyryani from pillage. The Voguli leader Asyka however, taking advantage of princely dissention and the remoteness of the bishop from the capital, plundered Christian settlements and killed defenseless people.

Novgorod landowners held lands at the Rivers Vyg and Dvina, suffering death from the constant pillaging. In the year 1445, they marched out against the Voguli and took Asyka captive. The crafty pagan swore friendship to Perm and vowed to harass Christians no longer. Set free, Asyka waited for a convenient moment to attack Ust'-Vym with the aim of killing St Pitirim, to whom he attributed his defeat by the Novgorodians.

During this time St Pitirim was twice in Moscow: in 1447 to address an encyclical to Prince Demetrius Shemyaka, having broken a treaty (it is supposed that the writer was St Pitirim); and again in the year 1448 for the consecration of St Jonah, Metropolitan of Moscow (March 31). Taking advantage of St Pitirim's absence, Asyka again made an attack on a Zyryani settlement near the Pechora, robbing and killing the inhabitants. Not only the Zyryani, but also the Voguli living their nomadic life near the Pechora tributary, had become convinced of the truth of the preachings of St Pitirim, and they had begun to accept Baptism.

Embittered by this, Asyka committed a new crime. On August 19 , 1456 he murdered St Pitirim, when he was out blessing the waters at the point of land formed by the confluence of the Rivers Vaga and Vychegda. The body of the saint remained for 40 days in a grave at the place of his death (since they awaited an answer to the sad news of his death). In spite of the hot weather, decay did not touch him. The saint was buried in the Ust'-Vym cathedral church of the Annunciation next to his predecessor St Gerasimus. The memory of his repose was already entered into a typikon in the year 1522. In the year 1607 the joint commemoration of the three Great Perm holy Hierarchs: Gerasimus, Pitirim and Jonah, was established ( January 29 ). They succeeded one another at the Ust'-Vym cathedral.
