NHTSA 5-Star Safety Rating
The most consistent pattern owners report for the 2019 Dodge Journey centers on the backup camera system. Owners describe the camera image going dark intermittently, displaying a flipped or upside-down image, or failing entirely, making the rear view unreliable or unusable. Electrical complaints come up with some frequency as well, though owners describe a range of unrelated symptoms rather than one clear failure mode. Exterior lighting issues round out the higher-volume reports, with owners noting lights failing or behaving erratically. A smaller number of owners report a seatbelt sensor failure tied to a broken B-pillar cover, with the sensor no longer detecting occupant status and the seatbelt and airbag systems flagging faults as a result. One isolated report describes a rear window shattering while the vehicle was parked.
