Known Issues for This Vehicle
Brake pedal feels spongy
Air in the brake lines can cause the brake pedal to feel spongy, which is common in hydraulic brake systems if they are not properly bled.
Brake fluid leaks
Hydraulic brake systems are susceptible to leaks, which can occur in the brake lines, calipers, or master cylinder, leading to reduced braking performance.
Overheating engine
V-shaped engines, particularly those with higher horsepower like 283 hp, can experience overheating if the cooling system is not properly maintained or if there is a failure in components such as the thermostat or water pump.
Engine misfire
The V6 engine configuration can be prone to misfires due to issues with spark plugs, ignition coils, or fuel injectors, especially if regular maintenance is neglected.
Transmission issues
The DODGE Journey, like some other models, can face transmission problems such as delayed shifting or jerking, often due to transmission fluid issues or software glitches.
Oil consumption
Some FCA engines are reported to consume oil more quickly than expected, which can lead to low oil levels and potential engine damage if not monitored.
Timing chain noise
V-shaped engines can develop timing chain noise due to wear over time, which can lead to further mechanical problems if not addressed.
