Purchased NEW, it went 180 after 1 year 1 month of ownership. Fixed by dealer and it went 180 again about 9 months later. 3rd time the dealer service writer at the M.R. Dodge dealership Augusta GA. said repairs were no longer covered. Then I got the Recall notice a few weeks ago (Jan. 2026) about the wiring hazard. ======================== NHTSA Action Number: PE24006 Components: BACK OVER PREVENTION Opened From: February 27, 2024 – September 26, 2025 Summary On February 27, 2024, the Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened this Preliminary Evaluation (PE) to investigate complaints alleging a loss of back up camera function in Model Year (MY) 2018 through 2020 Dodge Journey vehicles. Complainants reported experiencing black screens, upside down images, flashing images, or blurred images. A back up camera that does not display correctly increases the likelihood of a crash or injury. Analysis of warranty data provided in response to ODI’s information request letter demonstrated a pattern of elevated warranty claims in subject vehicles built in calendar years (CY) 2019 and 2020. The rate of camera related warranty repairs for models built in CY 2019-2020 was nearly double that of vehicles built in CY 2017-2018. This increase in warranty claims occurred after the introduction of a new camera part number. -------------------------------- The camera is STILL 180 and discussions will start soon.
