Top 20 Used Cars to Avoid: Consumer Reports

13. Dodge Journey

The Dodge Journey is a midsize crossover and has been around since 2008, as a 2009 model year. It recently got an update in 2011 giving it updated styling and as of the 2012 model year, became the American automaker’s smallest SUV after the Nitro was discontinued. The Journey is manufactured in Mexico, on the same assembly line as the Fiat 500.

The Journey had a bit unsettling ride and its handling lacked agility in Consumer Reports’ testing. Its reliability issues improved over the years, but from 2009-2011, major issues were in its Drive System, Electrical System, Suspension, Brakes, Paint and Trim, Squeaks and Rattles, Body Hardware, and Audio System.
