Buying a used 2018 Dodge Journey? Check these 6 recalls first

6 NHTSA recalls · 232 owner complaints on file

The 2018 Dodge Journey has 6 recalls in this group. Cruise control that may not cancel, possible stalling, and a rear brake problem stand out alongside separate rearview camera delay and failure actions. A headlamp reflector recall concerns inadequate brightness. Its 232 owner complaints are unverified reports, with 72 involving electrical systems, 45 unknown or other issues, 30 engine issues, and 26 exterior lighting issues. The record includes 7 crashes, 2 fires, and 7 injuries.

Before you buy

1. Get the 17-character VIN from the seller and run it at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows which recalls are still unrepaired on that exact car.
2. Verify cruise-control and stalling recall repairs.
3. Obtain rear-brake recall records and a brake inspection.
4. Check camera response and headlamp-recall completion.
5. Open recalls are repaired free at any Dodge dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
