Best and Worst Dodge Journey Years: What the NHTSA Data Shows

Across the 11 Dodge Journey model years from 2010 to 2020 that have NHTSA data, the typical year has about 353 owner complaints on file. These are the extremes:

Fewest owner complaints

  • 2020 — 65 complaints, 1 recall campaign, 4★ NHTSA
  • 2019 — 102 complaints, 1 recall campaign, 4★ NHTSA
  • 2011 — 169 complaints, 4 recall campaigns

Most owner complaints

  • 2010 — 1,085 complaints, 3 recall campaigns
  • 2015 — 553 complaints, 6 recall campaigns
  • 2014 — 416 complaints, 7 recall campaigns, 4★ NHTSA

Complaint counts are unverified owner reports to NHTSA and rise with how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road, so treat them as a pointer for what to inspect, not a reliability score. Model years after 2022 are left out because they have had little time to accumulate reports. Always check a specific car by VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls.
