A vehicle with many complaints is not necessarily less reliable — complaint volume correlates with sales volume and vehicle age. Recalls indicate identified defects, not overall quality.

Rear wiper works only in reverse, fuse was replaced and the problem still continues.
Bought this 2019 dodge journey in Aug 2020. Immediately noticed the headlight condensation. Brought it to the dealership to investigate and they told me it would require a whole new headlight part that would be chargeable and not covered under any warranty.
Headlight condensation because of improper seal causing damage and blown headlamp
The rear backup camera will fail often and stay off without any warning I was just pulling into my garage and it stopped halfway. This type of equipment failure seems to be a big issue because if I am around my kids at school or really anywhere where I use my backup camera which that's how I mainly Park then I could hit somebody and I wouldn't know because the camera stops working in the middle of me backing up. The fuse boxes have been checked and there is no issues with them so I'm not sure how to fix the backup camera issue when it will kind of work but then it's like it has a short or something but I feel like it's a bigger public safety issue when I know other people with the same vehicle has this issue too.
