Highest complaint totals
- 2009 Dodge Journey - 1,231 complaints in its first 8 years (1,433 to date)
- 2010 Dodge Journey - 743 complaints in its first 8 years (988 to date)
- 2015 Dodge Journey - 482 complaints in its first 8 years (553 to date)
Ranked on distinct complaints filed within eight years of the model year, so old and new years get the same exposure window. Not adjusted for sales volume; a best-selling year files more complaints at the same failure rate.
Lowest totals among mature years
- 2011 Dodge Journey - 144 complaints in its first 8 years (169 to date)
- 2017 Dodge Journey - 190 complaints in its first 8 years (199 to date)
- 2018 Dodge Journey - 236 complaints in its first 8 years (236 to date)
Same eight-year window, among model years old enough to have completed it and with at least 25 complaints in it. Model years before 1990 are excluded because the federal file begins in 1995. A low total is not proof of reliability.

Recall campaigns, all years
Every campaign filed against this model, with the model years it covers. Safety-recall remedies are normally provided at no charge. Under US federal law the mandatory free remedy applies when the vehicle was no more than 15 years old at the time the defect was determined; manufacturers often cover older vehicles voluntarily. Canadian rules differ. Confirm eligibility with the manufacturer using the VIN.
