There have been the recalls of course, but I haven't heard anything about the cars being unreliable.
And the fact that Chrysler LLC has had not advertising for it until this past week. I've seen at least one ad and heard a few on the radio for the Journey.Our dealership only got their first Journey TODAY ... so there aren't too many owners in these parts yet. Give it time ... it IS a 2009 model!
I'm one of the 18 Avenger owners in the survey. If it keeps going like it has since august, very few problems. We had a tire pressure monitor recall taken care of, and just had a small warranty item fixed. The chrome peeled off of the inner door handle and cut my wife's fingers. Replaced under warranty no questions asked. If you are a Avenger owner, it would go a long way toward proving that the Chrysler products are worthy of consideration by prospective car buyers. Just my 2cents worth.Now 18 2008 Avengers, so I'll include them in this month's survey. More will be needed to provide results, though.
For the details, and to help make this happen:

Haven't heard that complaint from anyone. What engine is in the vehicle?I bought a new 09 Dodge Journey in March and now with barely 3000 miles is leaking oil. Brought it to the dealer today and they say they have to replace the oil pan gasket. I traded an 03 Grand Caravan and never had a problem with it. Is this normal? I hope they fix it properly. I was excited about the vehicle but this takes the excitement away.
I signed up for your website: 2008 Dodge Avenger R/T, 3.5 V6, FWDWe've updated the results to include owner experiences through March 2009. In terms of successful repair trips per 100 cars per year:
2009 Journey: 128, worse than average
2008 Avenger / Sebring: 63, about average, marginal sample size
A big thank you to everyone who has been helping. We'll have further updates in August and November. With more participants, we could provide more precise information and cover all model years.

Thank you for signing up. Another response for the Avenger will be very helpful.I signed up for your website: 2008 Dodge Avenger R/T, 3.5 V6, FWD
You have nowhere to specify that in the 15,000 miles I've put on this car, I have not had anything on it repaired. At. All.
