leaffan766 Posted June 14, 2012 Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 We have a 2010 dodge journey sxt fwd. it has 25000 km on it and has been in the shop now for almost 2 weeks. They have to replace All 6 cylinders in the engine cause the engine keeps misfiring and wants to stall. This vehicle has a 84 month 160 000 km warranty. If this is happening now I can't begin to imagine what else is going to happen. Not to mention the whole brake issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OddJob Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 My 2010 RT didnt have any brake issues or engine. But the trans was a disaster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneframe Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 Can you elaborate on the transmission for your 2010? I have a 2010. The shifting is horrible at times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bramfrank Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 The 3.5 is pretty solid except for some manifold issues. You don't change pistons unless there are serious issues with rings and such and that wouldn't usually manifest as misfires - what did a leakdown test show?

jpw Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 I have had my 2012 journey for about 3 months now. I bought it used. From the very beginning i noticed things that didn't seem quite right with it. I took it back to the dealer and they really gave me an attitude saying that there was nothing wrong. I went back home and continued to drive my car but still noticed something was not quite right. Eventually the engine light came on and i took it back to the dealer. They said that number 6 cylinder was miss firing, but all it needed was a computer upgrade. They did the upgrade or so they said. About one week later the engine light came back on again. I took it back and they said number 6 cylinder was miss firing. They went into the motor and said that number 6 cylinder was indeed bad and they would have to fix it and the head would have to be replaced. The car has only 36000 miles on it and i have had problems with it from the beginning. Now i am afraid that it is going to be nothing but trouble. I am considering trading it for something besides a dodge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moparman Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 They had a bad run of heads, valve sealing issue. I doubt you'll have any more problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mcgusto82 Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 The car has only 36000 miles on it ONLY? that's not the right word. The car has a ton of miles for a '12. I concur, there was a bad run of heads on the 3.6s. However, it effected '11 year cars. If it in fact is a '12 with 36,000 miles on it. The previous owner drove the hell out of it. I hope you got the extended warranty. Good luck though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
