The Journey (2008 to 2020) is a midsize crossover with optional third-row seating. It uses a 2.4-liter four-cylinder, a 3.5-liter V6 and from 2011 the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6, with front- or all-wheel drive.


Your 2009 Dodge Journey is from the Journey generation, which covers model years 2009–2020. It is the first model year of this generation: the platform, wiring and many procedures changed compared with the previous model, so a manual for an earlier year will not match it.
Check the model year on your VIN: on a 2009 vehicle the 10th character of the 17-digit VIN is “9”. Vehicles built for North America always carry the model year in that position; on some European or Australian vehicles it may be left unused, so in that case go by the registration papers or the build plate.
At about 17 years old, a 2009 vehicle is in the age range where wiring, rubber hoses, seals and corrosion repairs take most of the work, and where original factory information is hardest to find.
