Dodge Journey problems, by model year and system
985 complaints owners filed with NHTSA about the Dodge Journey 2016–2020, and the 3 systems the record is deep on — electrical (258), engine (219), transmission and drivetrain (147). Each system has a page across the years; 5 model-year pages go deeper still. Every figure is a linked federal record; none is a failure rate or a verdict on one car.

Complaints owners filed with NHTSA naming each system, per model year; a bold count links the year’s own page on that system. Counts scale with sales and with time on the road; nothing here is a rate, and NHTSA’s headings are coarse (“Power Train” is the transmission and the driveline).
Common questions
Source: NHTSA complaint databaseWhich Dodge Journey system draws the most complaints?
Electrical: 258 complaints across 5 model years, 26% of everything owners filed about the Dodge Journey. A count, not a rate — it says nothing about how many were sold.
Which Dodge Journey year has the most complaints?
2016 (388), 2018 (234), 2017 (197). Older years have had longer to collect them; the year pages show each year's share by system.
