Used Dodge Journey Parts

The generation and platform decide whether a used part interchanges. Match yours before you request a quote.

• 2009–2010 (JC body, Chrysler global D-segment platform) — Dodge launched the Journey on its global D-segment platform, an architecture it says is also used on the Dodge Avenger, with the Journey's 113.8-inch wheelbase stretched 4.9 inches to fit a third row. Two combinations only: a 2.4L World Engine with a 4-speed automatic, or a 3.5L V6 with a 6-speed. AWD came on V6 SXT and R/T models.
• 2011–2019 (JC body, Pentastar era) — The 3.6L Pentastar V6 replaced the 3.5L for 2011 — Dodge called it a 20 percent power increase over the V6 it replaced, at 283 hp and 260 lb-ft, on a 6-speed automatic. The 2.4L four and its 4-speed carried on beside it, and AWD stayed a V6-only option to the end of the run.
• 2020 (JC body, final model year) — One configuration. EPA lists the 2020 Journey as a 2.4L four with a 4-speed automatic and nothing else — no V6, no all-wheel drive. Production ended in December 2020 at Toluca and there is no 2021 model year, so a "2021 Journey" request is almost always a 2020 car.

Start with the 8th VIN digit, not the year. Through 2010 the V6 was a 3.5L on a 6-speed automatic; from 2011 it is the 3.6L Pentastar, a different engine family on the same 6-speed. The 2.4L four is the constant — EPA lists it with a 4-speed automatic in every year from 2009 to 2020. So "Journey transmission" is really two parts, a 4-speed behind the four or a 6-speed behind the six.

All-wheel drive is a V6 decision. Dodge offered AWD on V6 SXT and R/T models at launch and still called the Pentastar standard on AWD models in 2019, and EPA lists no 2.4L AWD Journey in any year — so there is no four-cylinder donor for AWD driveline parts, and a 2020 car cannot supply them at all. The system is on-demand, driving the front wheels until the rear are needed and also engaging on dry pavement between 25 and 65 mph.

On donors, ask rather than assume. NHTSA campaign 16V907000 covers the 2016 Journey with the Jeep Compass and Patriot for the same crank or cam sensor, and 18V523000 covers the 2018 Journey with the Grand Caravan, Compass and Cherokee for the same rear caliper pistons — evidence of shared sourcing, not of guaranteed fitment. The Fiat Freemont, built at the same Toluca plant from March 2011, was the Fiat version of the Journey. Tell us if a non-Journey donor is acceptable and we will confirm by part number.

• Power steering: NHTSA campaign 16V273000 covers 2009–2016 Journeys built through November 2016, where the power steering return hose can rupture at start-up after cold exposure and cost you steering assist. If you are sourcing steering hose, pump or rack parts for those years, check the campaign against your VIN and have steering work done by a professional.
• Airbags and ABS on 2011–2015 cars: campaign 17V432000 covers 2011–2015 Journeys where the driver airbag wiring harness can chafe inside the steering wheel and short, potentially deploying the bag unexpectedly, and 15V675000 covers 2012–2015 cars where water entering the ABS module harness can disable ABS and stability control. Verify campaign status for your car and any donor part by VIN, and let a qualified shop do the work.
• Two cheap parts worth checking. Campaign 15V431000 covers 2011–2015 Journeys with the 2.4L whose engine cover can detach onto the exhaust manifold, a fire risk — inspect the mounting on any used cover. Campaign 22V723000 covers 2017–2018 Journeys whose amber side reflex reflector, built into the headlamp assembly, is not bright enough to meet FMVSS 108, so a used headlamp off an unrepaired 2017–2018 donor carries that noncompliance forward.

Safety- and emissions-related parts should be diagnosed and installed by a licensed mechanic.

Send the full VIN, the model year, whether it is the 2.4L four or the V6, and front- or all-wheel drive. For a transmission, say which engine it sits behind — the four uses a 4-speed and the V6 a 6-speed, and they are not alternatives. Common requests are engines, transmissions, AWD driveline parts, power steering components, headlamps, liftgates and third-row seats. We quote against your VIN.
