Information on repair and maintenance of Dodge Journey cars electronically
The Dodge Journey is a mid-size crossover launched in 2008 by FCA US LLC. The first presentation of the car took place in 2007 at the Frankfurt Motor Show. Initially, the model was created for the American market and was designed for the target audience of this country, but after a short time the car was presented in other markets, but with a different name “Fiat freemont”.
For three years, this model was recognized as the safest "Top safety pick", and the Chrysler group, which produces this car, also had eleven other cars that got into this top.
The first generation of the car went on sale in 2008 and was produced in Mexico (Toluca city). This model became the replacement for the Dodge Caravan and was created on the basis of the Chrysler JC49 (front wheel drive platform). For the front-wheel drive version, several types of engines were presented:
- Diesel 2.0 liter turbocharged (140 horsepower).
- Gasoline 2.7 liters and 2.4 liters (horsepower - 183 and 170).
The all-wheel drive version of the car was equipped with only one engine option: Chrysler SOHC V6 3.5 liter.
Restyling of the car took place in 2011, the changes affected the following:
- The suspension has been completely redesigned.
- A new Pentastar engine appeared, six-cylinder, with a volume of 3.6 liters. This engine is more powerful and more fuel efficient than previous versions.
- The interior of the car has changed, materials have been changed to softer and higher quality ones.

- Regardless of the speed, the traction control system works, which helps to keep the car on the desired trajectory, regardless of weather or road conditions.
- Exterior changes include redesigned LED rear lights and chrome tailpipe trims.
- New aluminum wheels.
Since 2016, there have been five variants of the car on sale, before that the lineup consisted of six representatives, but the company stopped producing the AVP complete set.
The second generation appeared twelve years after the first, in 2020. Car production was moved from Mexico to Italy. The model was based on a rear wheel drive platform that was taken from the Alfa Romeo Giulia.
