Cracks can develop in a microprocessor used by the rearview camera on these vehicles. When that happens, the camera's image may not display properly on the screen, so these vehicles do not meet the federal safety standard for rear visibility. Dealers will replace the rearview camera at no charge, though the replacement parts are not yet available. Interim letters warning owners of the issue were mailed starting September 30, 2025, and a second letter announcing the final remedy is expected around July 2026.

A voltage regulator chip on the circuit board inside the powertrain control module may fail. If this chip fails, the vehicle may stall while it is being driven, or it may fail to start at all. To correct this problem, Chrysler dealers will replace the entire powertrain control module with a new one so the vehicle does not experience this stalling or no-start condition again.

On these Dodge and Jeep vehicles, the pistons inside the rear brake calipers may not have enough protective coating. Without enough coating, gas pockets can form inside the caliper pistons. These gas pockets can reduce how well the rear brakes perform, meaning the rear brakes may not work as effectively as they should.
Reported Jun 14, 2018 · Campaign 18V398000 · Model years: 2018
Some Dodge Journey and Ram 1500, 2500, and 3500 vehicles may have a backup camera that loses its picture while the driver is backing up. This means the camera image can disappear from the screen right when the driver is relying on it to see what's behind the vehicle.
Reported Jun 14, 2018 · Campaign 18V396000 · Model years: 2018
On some 2018 Dodge Journey vehicles, the rear camera image may not be fully visible within two seconds after reverse gear is selected. Because of this, the vehicles don't meet federal rearview visibility requirements.
Reported May 17, 2018 · Campaign 18V332000 · Model years: 2018
Chrysler is recalling certain Dodge, Jeep, Ram and Chrysler vehicles from several model years because the cruise control may not shut off. If a wire inside the vehicle shorts out while cruise control is in use, the driver may not be able to cancel it by pressing the brake pedal or by switching the system off. The vehicle could keep going at its set speed or even speed up. Dealers will inspect and reprogram the engine or powertrain computer.
Recalls and NHTSA owner complaints for each model year, side by side. Complaints are unverified owner reports, and better-selling or older years naturally collect more — read this as a record, not a ranking.
NHTSA lists 7 safety recalls covering the 2018–2020 Dodge Journey. 5 of them are rated high or critical on this site. The most recent is "Ram ProMaster, Dodge Journey backup camera may fail" (NHTSA campaign 25V552000), reported Aug 26, 2025.
Which Dodge Journey model year has the most recalls?
The 2018 Dodge Journey has the most, with 6 recalls. The 2019 model year has the fewest of the years we cover, with 1. Newer model years have had less time to collect recalls, so a low count on a recent year is not a guarantee.
Is there a do-not-drive or park-outside recall on the Dodge Journey?
No. None of the 7 Dodge Journey recalls on file carries a do-not-drive or park-outside advisory from NHTSA.
How do I check whether my Dodge Journey has an open recall?
Enter your 17-character VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls. A recall often applies to only some vehicles of a model year, and the VIN lookup shows the ones still unrepaired on your car. Recall repairs are free at any franchised Dodge dealer, including for second owners.
