It is available in five trim levels: the American Value Package, SE, SXT, Crew, and R/T. Under the hood, the base model comes with a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine that delivers 173 horsepower. However, the higher trims are equipped with a more powerful 3.6-liter V6 engine that can produce up to 283 horsepower. All models come with a front-wheel-drive system, but the SXT and higher trims offer an optional all-wheel-drive system. The 2012 Dodge Journey offers a smooth and comfortable ride, with responsive steering and good handling. It also comes with a variety of standard features, including air conditioning, power windows and locks, and a six-speaker audio system. Higher trims add features such as leather seats, a rearview camera, and a touchscreen infotainment system. Overall, the Dodge Journey offers a practical and affordable option for families who need a spacious and reliable SUV. However, some reviewers have noted its lackluster acceleration and outdated interior design.

Can't find the answer to your question in the manual? You may find the answer to your question in the FAQs about the Dodge Journey (2012) below.

How do I convert miles into kilometres?

1 mile equals 1.609344 kilometers and 1 kilometer equals 0.62137119 miles.

Where can I find the VIN number of my Dodge?

The location of the VIN number of the car differs per brand and type of car. The code may be stamped on the frame of the car or mounted on a plate. It is best to consult the manual of the Dodge Journey (2012)for the exact location of the VIN number.

What is a VIN number?

The VIN number of a car is an identification number unique to each car. The abbreviation VIN therefore stands for Vehicle Identification Number.

When does my Dodge need maintenance?

Regular maintenance is necessary for every car. How often the car needs maintenance and what exactly needs to be done can be found in the maintenance instructions. For major periodic service, this should generally be done every 2 years or after 30,000 kilometres.

When should I change the brake fluid of my Dodge?

It is recommended to change the brake fluid every two years.

What is the difference between E10 and E5 petrol?

One or more doors won't open from the inside. Now what?

The lock is most likely set to the child safety lock so it cannot be opened from the inside. How to unset the child safety lock differs per brand and type.

My car radio does not turn on, now what?

Find a manual, dodge journey: hard brake pedal and why your car won't start, you are here.

The Dodge Journey is known for its versatility and reliability, making it a favored choice among families and adventurers alike. However, like any vehicle, it's not immune to problems. A common issue some owners may encounter is a scenario where the car won't start, and the brake pedal feels unusually hard. Understanding the root causes of these issues is crucial for any Dodge Journey owner. We're here to dissect the problem of Dodge Journey not starting as the brake pedal is hard, offering insights into why they occur and how to resolve them effectively.

Brake System Complications

The sensation of a hard brake pedal can be alarming, especially when accompanied by starting troubles. This issue often points to a problem within the brake system itself, such as a vacuum leak or failure in the brake booster. The brake booster relies on engine vacuum to multiply the force applied by the driver, making it easier to stop the vehicle. When there's a leak or the booster is failing, it can result in a hard brake pedal. Checking for hissing sounds when the engine is running or inspecting for visible damage to vacuum lines can help identify a vacuum leak. If the brake booster is at fault, it typically requires professional replacement.

Electrical System Anomalies

Another potential cause for your Dodge Journey like Dodge 024 (1978 - 1989) Chilton not starting, paired with a hard brake pedal, could be related to the vehicle's electrical system. Issues such as a drained battery, faulty starter, or problematic ignition switch can all prevent the car from starting. These problems may also indirectly affect the brake system, as modern vehicles rely heavily on electronic signals for various operations, including the braking process. Ensuring your battery is fully charged and testing the starter and ignition switch are vital steps in troubleshooting these electrical issues.

Power Brake System Issues

In addition to the traditional brake system and electrical anomalies, the power brake system itself can also contribute to the problem. This system enhances the brake pedal's effectiveness, reducing the effort needed to stop the car. If there's a malfunction within this system, it could lead to a hard brake pedal. This might be due to issues with the power brake pump or problems within the system's hydraulic lines. Regular inspection and maintenance of the power brake system can prevent these issues from arising.

Addressing the Problem

When faced with a hard brake pedal and a Dodge Journey that won't start, the first step is to calmly assess the situation. Checking the brake fluid levels and ensuring there are no leaks in the system is a good starting point. If the problem seems to be electrical, verifying the battery's condition and the functionality of the starter and ignition switch is crucial. For more complex issues related to the brake booster or power brake system, consulting with a professional mechanic is often the best course of action. They can provide a comprehensive diagnosis and recommend the most effective solution.

Encountering a hard brake pedal and a non-starting Dodge Journey can be frustrating and concerning. However, by understanding the potential causes behind these issues, you can take informed steps towards resolving them. Whether the problem lies in the brake system, electrical components, or power brake system, there are solutions available.
