Known issues to check on a 2019 Dodge Journey
- 2.4L Four-Cylinder and 4-Speed Automatic Configuration (2011–2020)
Journeys with the 173-hp 2.4L four use an older 4-speed automatic and are front-wheel drive only. They return slightly better mpg than the V6 but feel slow when carrying seven people or cargo. A 2.4L engine-cover recall also applies to certain 2011-2015 models (NHTSA 15V-431).
What to do: Test-drive a 2.4L Journey with the load you expect to carry before deciding. - Pentastar V6 Oil Filter Housing Leaks and Early Head Wear (2011–2019)
The 3.6L Pentastar V6 (2011-2019) uses a plastic oil filter housing and cooler in the engine valley that can leak oil or coolant with age. Some early (roughly 2011-2013) Pentastars also had left cylinder-head valve-seat wear that FCA covered under an extended warranty that has likely expired.
What to do: On a V6 Journey, look for oil or coolant leaks around the oil filter housing. - Transmission Pump (2016) and Backup Camera (2018-2020) Recalls (2016–2020)
Certain 2016 Journeys built August 2015 to January 2016 were recalled because the transmission pump could seize (NHTSA 16V-461). Some 2018 Journeys had backup-camera display recalls (18V-396, 18V-398), and certain 2019-2020 Journeys were recalled in 2025 because a cracked camera microprocessor may stop the rearview image displaying (25V-552).
What to do: Check these recalls by VIN and test the backup camera. - Older Design and Crash-Test Results (2011–2020)
The Journey's basic design dates to the 2009 model year. It was rated Poor in the IIHS driver-side small-overlap front test and never offered modern driver aids such as automatic emergency braking, which matters for buyers comparing it with newer crossovers.
What to do: If advanced safety features matter, compare newer crossovers before buying.
Recall applicability varies by model year, production date, engine and VIN. Check the VIN for open recalls and completed remedies; the Journey has several airbag, steering, ABS and camera recalls that apply to specific build ranges.
