2017 DODGE JOURNEY
Filed Oct 22, 2026
The vehicle experienced a premature catalytic converter failure directly related to the defect covered under manufacturer Recall Z98 (Federal Emissions: 2016-2017 JC 2.4L NOX FAIL). Prior to the recall being announced, the owner had the failed component replaced out-of-pocket using a legally compliant, EPA-certified aftermarket part.

Filed Oct 18, 2026
My catalytic converter code keeps popping. There is a recall for the year of my car, but the 2.4L. I truly believe the 3.6L for 2016 dodge journeys should be added to this recall as I see all over online its a huge issue for that year make and model as well. Abs module- the lights in my dash and code reader indicate a failing abs module. This is such a problem that the part is on back order. I believe this should also be a recall as it affects the safety of everyone on the car when the brakes…
