I purchased my 2009 dodge journey in may 2008. i have had serious issues with this car since purchasing the car. the main problem with this car is that the engine had to be replaced within 3 years of paying for the car. this is highly unheard of. while waiting for all parts to arrive, taking 3 months to arrive, i was not offered a loaner car or anything. nothing was offered but bad attitudes from everyone at bergeron dodge in metairie, louisiana. i have had so many issues with this car that as of today i continue to have starting issues with this car. this car is a true lemon!! *tr
