I know there's more things that have gone wrong with it, but I can't remember them all. I'm sure you've gotten the point by now.

Bad apple? Please. Would you buy another Dodge vehicle after what I've been through with this thing? And it STILL has problems with it? Only if you're a fool.


Yikes! Did you buy it new? I really sounds like a flood truck, maybe salt-water.

Guilty. Had plenty of poblems with our 09 Journey. Bought another one in 2013. I'm so foolish.

I am sorry for all your problems, really, but it sounds like that truck was abused, flooded, something. None of that is normal. Let's just say, I don't have alot of sympathy once your to the point of bashing Dodge vehicles on a Dodge forum and name calling. Good luck with whatever you decide.

The gas tank issue is either a pluged vapor canistor or the vent line for the fuel tank is plugged. Just had this issue for months and dropped the tank replaced the canistor. Mine got water logged loading the boat this summer. It was clearly the issue as the vapor canistor was about 5 pounds heavier than the new one. Solved the problem tho
