2015 Dodge Journey: what breaks, and at what mileage
What breaks on the 2015 Dodge Journey
On the 2015 Dodge Journey, the failure owners report most often is other engine problem, and the reports cluster around 55,000 miles. The earliest to appear is airbag failed to deploy in a crash, reported by a median of 25,000 miles. Overall it scores 75 out of 100, severe risk for a 2015.
Severe risk for a 2015 — 69th riskiest of the 273 2015 vehicles we can rate. 869 owner reports; fleet size estimated from this year's own recall paperwork.
The failures owners actually file about
Owners have reported 63 named failure modes on the 2015 Dodge Journey, and the three most-reported carry 25% of everything filed, which is an unusually even spread for one model year.
Other engine problem leads with 85 reports, about 1.2 per 1,000 vehicles and with the middle half of reports between 18k to 90,000 miles.
Other body or interior problem follows with 80 reports, usually reported between 45k to 95,000 miles. 2 of those reports mention a fire.
Other powertrain problem follows with 51 reports, usually reported between 28k to 92,500 miles.
By system, the reports fall mostly into engine (151), brakes (115) and electrical (111).
The mileage the reports cluster at
518 of the reports on the 2015 Dodge Journey came with an odometer reading, and half of those were filed before 55,000 miles.
Cumulatively, 44% by 50,000 miles, 90% by 100,000 miles and 98% by 150,000 miles of the dated reports had been filed, with 3 filed above the top of the chart.
The busiest stretch is between 0 and 10,000 miles, which alone holds 14% of the dated reports.
33% of the dated reports were filed below 36,000 miles.
In the order they tend to show up: airbag failed to deploy in a crash around 27k, other brake problem around 28k, other driver assistance problem around 33k and other speed control problem around 38k.

How reports accumulate
Every report with an odometer reading, cumulative, from 0 to 200,000 miles. A further 3 reports came in above that, which is why the line stops short of the top. A curve that climbs early is a car with early problems, whatever its total.

How bad it is when it goes
Across the named modes, 38 mention a crash, 10 a fire and 43 an injury. Those are the words owners used in their own complaints, and NHTSA does not verify them, but they are the closest thing in this data to a measure of what a failure actually did.
The average severity weight across every report on this year is 4.47, where a stalled engine or a failed airbag weighs many times more than a rattling trim panel, and a figure this high means the reports are dominated by failures with safety consequences rather than annoyances. The weighting is set out in full on the methodology page.
What the top failures cost to put right, as editorial estimates for an independent US shop rather than figures from NHTSA: other engine problem at $300–$4,000, other body or interior problem at $200–$2,000, other powertrain problem at $400–$4,500 and ABS module or sensor failure at $500–$2,400. Dealer labour, a seized bolt or a part that is no longer made can push any of these past the top of its range.
27% of the reports on this year sit in the engine, transmission, drivetrain or cooling systems — the four where a repair bill is usually four figures.

Rate per 1,000 uses a fleet-size estimate derived from recall paperwork for this exact model year. It is a lower bound. Repair costs are typical independent-shop ranges for the failure, not figures from these reports.
How often, against how many were built
Scaled by an estimate of how many of these cars exist, the 2015 Dodge Journey draws about 12 per 1,000 vehicles, which puts it in the 92nd percentile of complaint rates among 2015 vehicles we can rate.
That denominator is the weakest number on the page and it is fair to say so plainly. Rate per 1,000 uses a fleet-size estimate derived from recall paperwork for this exact model year. It is a lower bound.
The working figure is 72,964 vehicles. If the true number is twice that, every rate on this page is half what it says; the ranking against other 2015 vehicles, which is what the risk score uses, is far more robust than the rate itself.

Other engine problem
I have had my car right at 3 months and it just shuts off with no warning. I have children in this car going down the interstate and it just shuts off. There is no warning signs and no way to get it off the side of the road. I'm just dead in the water hoping no one will rear end us. It has been in the shop 2 times and they have it a day and say shows nothing and send it back to me. It is very hard to get it into the shop and they act like I'm the problem cause they can't find it. It's my only car and I keep telling them what is going on and they say juat keep driving it. It takes several min for it to finally start then it seems to clear out the codes. I have called them and expressed my concerns about the safety of my kids and my self. They seem to not be worried. But I have seen I'm not the only one with this problem and nothing is being done. I guess when it kills my family or someone else thenaybe something will be done. This happens at least 3 xs a week if not more and I have no clue when it will happen. It's very scary. Please can u help me before my family ends up killed.
While driving home my 2015 dodge journey (which only had 2,108 miles on it) died while decelerating to turn into my neighborhood. Praise god, no one was behind me and I had to crank the wheel to pull over to the side of the road as the power steering and brakes also died. There were no warning signs, indicators, lights, etc. I put the car in park and hit the start button and it started right up. I immediately called the dealership and told them I would be bringing it to them in the morning. They have now had my car for 5 days and can't find any error codes in their computer when running diagnostics and "can't reproduce the stall". They are keeping it for a few more days to "put more miles on it to see if they can reproduce it" and also have a call into their corporate engineers and are waiting to hear back from them. I told the service manager at the dealership that this was a known issue with the t.I.p.m. (total integrated program module) on older models and in fact 2 were reported at http://www.carcomplaints.com/dodge/journey/2014/ for 2014 models. He claimed that this defect is on older models 'only' and wasn't the problem…
Other body or interior problem
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 dodge journey. While driving 70 MPH, with cargo on the luggage rack, the luggage rack detached from the vehicle and left holes in the roof. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 43,000. The VIN was not available.
I am not sure if this warrants a complaint but when I wreaked my vehicle my airbags did not deploy. I was traveling about 50mph on a main road it was night time and had started to rain and I hit a cow that was standing in the middle of the road. There was about $8000 dollars worth of damage to my vehicle. I am just curious as to why airbags didn't deploy. Should they have?
Other powertrain problem
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 dodge journey. While driving 45 MPH, the vehicle began to jerk excessively. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing. The technician was unable to diagnose the failure. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 1,000.
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 dodge journey. The contact stated that the service engine and traction control warning lights flashed. In addition, the gear was difficult to shift out of drive. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where the failure could not be replicated. The vehicle was taken to a dealer on a second occasion where it was diagnosed that a lever failed in the transmission pan. The vehicle was repaired. Additionally, the contact stated that while driving approximately 40 MPH, the vehicle stalled. The contact was able to restart the vehicle but the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken back to a dealer but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 7,500.
Recalls on the 2015 model year
NHTSA has issued 6 recall campaigns covering the 2015 Dodge Journey, affecting an estimated 244,935 vehicles. A recall is a different kind of evidence from a complaint: it is the regulator and the manufacturer agreeing that something has to be fixed, and the fix is free for as long as the car exists.
The campaigns cover electrical system:wiring, air bags:frontal, steering:hydraulic power assist:hose, piping, and connection and service brakes, hydraulic:antilock/traction control/electron. Whether the work was actually done on the car in front of you is a question only the VIN can answer, and the manufacturer or NHTSA will answer it free.
One caution about reading these together: a recall usually raises the complaint count for the same part, because owners who read about it go and file. The mileages stay informative; the counts get noisy.
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING
4,815,661 vehicles 2018-05-17- Defect
- Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain 2014-2018 Dodge Journey, Charger and Durango, RAM 2500, 3500, 3500 Cab Chassis (more than 10,000lb), 4500 Cab Chassis and 5500 Cab Chassis, Jeep Cherokee and Grand Cherokee and Chrysler 300, 2014-2019 RAM 1500, 2015-2018 Dodge Challenger, 2015-2017 Chrysler 200, 2016-2018 RAM 3500 Cab Chassis (less than 10,000 lb), 2017-2018 Chrysler Pacifica and 2018 Jeep Wrangler vehicles.

How it ranks in the 2015 field
The score at the top of the page, placed among its peers. The zones are the same thresholds the scorer applies, read out of the scorer itself, so the picture and the band word cannot disagree.
Scores are ranked within the model year, never across years, because an older car has had longer to accumulate reports.
- Left fewer and less serious reports
- Right more, or worse
- Marker this vehicle
How 2015 compares with the other years
Severe risk for a 2015 — 69th riskiest of the 273 2015 vehicles we can rate. Because the ranking is against the same model year only, age cancels out of it.
Across the 12 model years of this car that carry enough reports to score, 2020 comes out best at 63 and 2014 worst at 75, with 2015 itself at 75.
If the model year is negotiable, 2020, 2019, 2013, 2010, 2011 and 2017 score lower than 2015 by a margin worth acting on. Same body, same engines, different luck — usually a supplier change or a mid-cycle fix, which the complaint data can show but never explain.
Within the 2011–2017 generation specifically, 2013 is the strongest year at 70 and 2014 the weakest at 75.
Scores compare each year against other cars of the same model year, so a low number on an older car is a real result and not an artefact of age.
Shorter is better. Years with too few reports to score are shown without a bar rather than as a zero, because no data is not good news.
Within the 2011-2017 generation, 2013 Dodge Journey scores best at 70 and 2014 Dodge Journey worst at 75.
What to look at before buying one
The mileages below are where the first quarter of reports for each mode had already been filed, which makes them the point at which a fault is worth looking for rather than the point at which it happens: stalling while driving from about 8k, other speed control problem from about 8k, airbag warning light or occupant sensor fault from about 10k and other brake problem from about 14k.
On a 2015 Dodge Journey with more miles than that on it, the useful question to put to a seller or a mechanic is whether stalling while driving has been dealt with, and if so with what parts and at whose expense. A car that has already had the repair is in a different position from one that has not.
Treat it as where to point the inspection, not as a prediction. A well-maintained example can sail past every mileage on this page, and a neglected one can fail well before the first of them.
The limits of complaint data
869 owner reports; fleet size estimated from this year's own recall paperwork. Every count on this page is therefore a floor: it is the number of owners who went to the trouble of filing with a federal agency, which is a small and self-selected fraction of the owners who had the fault.
Of those 869 reports, 518 carried an odometer reading, so the mileages here describe 60% of the sample rather than all of it. Owners also round: readings pile up on multiples of ten thousand, which is why this site publishes "about 90,000 miles" and not "91,438".
The failure modes are assigned by software reading the owner's own words, which is accurate in bulk and wrong in individual cases. A mode with a handful of reports may contain a misfiled one.
And nothing here predicts what one car will do. These are other people's complaints, filed years apart, on cars maintained by strangers. Read the page as a map of where this model year has previously gone wrong, then have the specific car in front of you inspected.
