2017 Dodge Journey fuel economy (EPA)
The EPA rates the 2017 Dodge Journey at 19–21 MPG combined; the 2.4L 4-cylinder (FWD) is the most efficient and the 3.6L 6-cylinder (FWD) the thirstiest. Every EPA test configuration is below, from the government's fuel-economy database.
City, highway and combined figures are in MPG (MPGe on electricity).
| Version | Engine | Transmission · drive | City | Hwy | Comb. | Fuel / yr | CO₂ g/mi |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Journey | 2.4L 4-cylinder | 4-speed automatic · FWD | 19MPG | 25MPG | 21MPG | $2,950 | 420 |
| Journey | 3.6L 6-cylinderFFV | 6-speed automatic · FWD | 17MPG | 25MPG | 19MPG | $3,300 | 456 |
| Journey AWD | 3.6L 6-cylinder | 6-speed automatic · AWD | 16MPG | 24MPG | 19MPG | $3,300 | 470 |
Source: U.S. EPA and Department of Energy, fueleconomy.gov. MPG is miles per gallon (MPGe for electric operation). Plug-in hybrids list gasoline-only MPG with the electric rating underneath. Annual fuel cost assumes 15,000 miles a year at the EPA's fuel-price assumptions, so yours will differ. Range is total driving range on a full tank or charge.

2017 Dodge Journey recalls & safety
What the U.S. government's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has on file for the 2017 Dodge Journey: 2 recall campaigns, 202 owner complaints and crash-test ratings. Fetched November 8, 2026.
NHTSA 5-Star Safety Ratings
| Version | Overall | Frontal | Side | Rollover |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dodge Journey SUV FWD | 18.5% risk | |||
| Dodge Journey SUV AWD | 17.9% risk |
Stars compare vehicles of similar weight; rollover shows the tested chance of a rollover in a single-vehicle crash.
Recalls (2)
Newest first. A campaign covers certain vehicles of this model year, not necessarily every one. To see which apply to a specific vehicle, and whether the fix has been done, enter its VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls or ask a dealer; repairs are free of charge.
Exterior lightingSeptember 29, 2022 · Campaign 22V723000
Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) is recalling certain 2017-2018 Dodge Journey vehicles. The amber side reflex reflector assembled into the headlamp may not reflect brightly enough. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
Risk: A dim reflector may reduce the visibility of the vehicle to other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.
Fix: Dealers will replace the headlamp assemblies, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed February 16, 2023. Owners may contact FCA US, LLC customer service at 1-800-853-1403. FCA US, LLC's number for this recall is Z99.
Campaign 22V723000 on NHTSA.govElectrical system: wiringMay 17, 2018 · Campaign 18V332000
Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain 2014-2018 Dodge Journey, Charger and Durango, RAM 2500, 3500, 3500 Cab Chassis (more than 10,000lb), 4500 Cab Chassis and 5500 Cab Chassis, Jeep Cherokee and Grand Cherokee and Chrysler 300, 2014-2019 RAM 1500, 2015-2018 Dodge Challenger, 2015-2017 Chrysler 200, 2016-2018 RAM 3500 Cab Chassis (less than 10,000 lb), 2017-2018 Chrysler Pacifica and 2018 Jeep Wrangler vehicles.
Risk: If the vehicle maintains its speed or accelerates despite attempts to deactivate the cruise control, there would be an increased risk of a crash.
Fix: Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the software, and perform a software flash on the engine or powertrain control module, free of charge. The recall began June 4, 2018. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403.

Salt, snow and hills: the data
Reading the 2017 Journey data for Great Lakes roads
None of the factory data on this page changes from one region to the next, but what deserves a second look does. Below are the 2017 Dodge Journey lines that matter for a Lansing winter, a spring of broken pavement, a boat on the hitch or a long descent in the hills.
Tire choices for squall and thaw
Big wheels look good, but after a March commute on Detroit or Cleveland streets they are the ones that come home bent. This year's sizes run from P225/65R17 on 17-inch wheels to 225/55R19 on 19-inch wheels; the smaller fitment carries a taller sidewall that absorbs pothole strikes and usually costs less to replace.
Oil for a frozen-driveway start
Factory oil: SAE 5W-20, 4.5 qt (2.4L) and 6 qt (3.6L) per change with a filter. A Grand Rapids or Toledo January can leave an engine at single digits overnight, and at start-up the oil has to reach the top of the engine fast. The 5W part of the grade is its cold-flow rating, so keep it rather than going thicker for winter. Short trips that never fully warm the engine let moisture collect in the oil; a longer drive clears it.
Cranking power for a lake-effect morning
Rated battery output: 525 cold-cranking amps, measured at 0°F. A single-digit night in Traverse City or Fort Wayne cuts what the battery can deliver just as the stiff engine asks more of the starter. Past three winters, an October load test tells you more than the date sticker. Charging comes from a 160-amp alternator.
Traction for snowbelt hills and hollows
This model year offers front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive. In Michigan, the payoff comes in the first hour of a storm, before plows reach side streets, and on boat ramps slick with algae where a two-wheel-drive tow vehicle can spin. Keep the system's limits in mind on ice: driven wheels add grip for going, not for stopping or turning.
Towing to the lake
Regular towing puts the 2017 Dodge Journey on the schedule's trailer rows: automatic transmission fluid service, first at 60,000 miles. A summer of hauling a boat to Lake Cumberland, Norris Lake or a Lake Michigan launch counts. The Great Lakes are fresh water, so a trailer's real corrosion threat here is winter road salt, not the ramp.
Gravel hollow roads and the air filter
The schedule asks for more frequent air-filter attention in dusty conditions, beyond the normal replacement every 30,000 miles. Gravel roads up Appalachian hollows and coal-haul routes in West Virginia and eastern Kentucky qualify, so inspect the filter at each oil change if they are part of your week.
Octane from the owner data
The owner data specifies 87 octane. A higher grade than the manual asks for adds cost without benefit, while a lower one than required makes the engine pull back ignition timing, which shows most under load on a long Appalachian climb.
Capacities, ratings and service intervals: Stellantis data for the 2017 Journey. The Great Lakes reading of them is independent and is not factory or dealer advice.
2017 Dodge Journey questions
How much oil does the 2017 Dodge Journey take?
With a filter change: 2.4L engine (SAE 5W-20, API certified), 4.5 qt / 4.26 L and 3.6L engine (SAE 5W-20, API certified), 6 qt / 5.6 L. Capacities are from the owner's manual; check the dipstick or oil-life display after filling.

Engine oil: API certified SAE 5W-20 engine oil (MS-6395).
When is the first scheduled maintenance on the 2017 Dodge Journey?
At 20,000 miles: inspect front suspension, tie rod ends, and replace if necessary; inspect the brake linings, parking brake function; replace air conditioning filter. Oil changes in between follow the oil-change indicator.
Where can I find the 2017 Dodge Journey owner's manual?
The manufacturer publishes it free on Mopar.com as a PDF (linked in the manuals section above), along with quick guides, radio manuals and the warranty booklet.
What MPG does the 2017 Dodge Journey get?
The EPA rates the 2017 Dodge Journey at 19–21 MPG combined, depending on the version. 2.4L 4-cylinder, 4-speed automatic, FWD: 19 city / 25 highway / 21 combined; 3.6L 6-cylinder, 6-speed automatic, FWD: 17 city / 25 highway / 19 combined; 3.6L 6-cylinder, 6-speed automatic, AWD: 16 city / 24 highway / 19 combined. Ratings are the EPA's laboratory figures from fueleconomy.gov; real-world mileage varies with driving, load and weather.
What size tires does the 2017 Dodge Journey use?
Factory tire sizes: P225/65R17 (SE, SXT); 225/55R19 (Crossroad and GT). The recommended cold inflation pressure for your exact tires is on the tire placard (driver's side B-pillar or rear edge of the driver's door), not in a single table.

The components named most often are electrical system (59), engine (44), and power train (32). 12 complaints involved a crash and 7 complaints a fire.

Equipment and ratings vary by configuration; check the owner's manual or a dealer for a specific vehicle. This model is no longer sold new.
