SUPERB HANDLING

The suspension, drivetrain and stability systems on Dodge Journey provide refined drive and handling dynamics and superior noise isolation. Driver control is responsive and confident, especially when cornering.

SUSPENSION

Journey features a four-wheel independent suspension system with:

  • MacPherson front struts
  • Multi-link rear suspension
  • Coil springs and stabilizer bars

Front and rear suspension crossmembers are isolated to the body to create a quiet ride, with less road noise, vibration and harshness.

ALL-WHEEL DRIVE

The available all-wheel-drive system works on demand, driving only the front wheels until power to the rear wheels is needed. AWD is also used on dry pavement, between speeds of 25 and 65 mph, to enhance handling during performance driving. The system provides added traction on snow, ice and other low-traction surfaces without having to be switched on and off.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL

Electronic Stability Control (ESC)+ helps you maintain control in demanding or adverse conditions. The system monitors steering input and vehicle motion, sensing when there's a difference between your intended path and the vehicle's actual path. It applies selective braking, and may reduce engine torque, to help guide your vehicle back on your intended path.

  • Braking
    ADVANCED FOUR-WHEEL DISC BRAKE PERFORMANCE

    Dodge Journey has several advanced technologies within its brake systems that help make every stop sure, secure and controlled.

    Standard four-wheel disc brakes include:

    • A four-channel antilock brake system monitors the speed of each wheel, allowing individual wheel braking for superior control

    • Electronic Brake Force Distribution regulates braking pressure front-to-rear to optimize stopping distances under all vehicle-load conditions

    • Brake Assist senses emergency braking by detecting the rate of brake application and boosts the power as needed

    • Rain Brake Support removes water from brake pads by applying a small amount of pressure to the caliper. It engages when the windshield wipers are activated
