I purchased a 2009 dodge journey, used but only 40000 miles. In 8 weeks of owning it has been in the shop 5 times, 3 times for the same reason a ticking in the engine. The most recent was corrosion of the crank shaft sensor. Really corrosion in a 2009 vehicle. There is also a grinding sound when I turn the wheel yet noone can seem to find the problem of that. I have already replaced the struts and mounts (thank god under warranty) that was a week after I had the car. I have a 15 month old and it scares me that something serious could happen when she is riding with me. I make just enough money to pay my bills and I am scared that something, now that my car is not under a warranty, will happen and I will be without a car. I am very disappointed with the service and quality I have gotten. My family has pretty much always owned a dodge vehicle and we have never had this many issues. I really wish someone from dodge would read this and give back to the people that spent their hard earned money on there product.
