    1 Rating
    WASHINGTON, D.C. — The 2009 Dodge Journey earned five-star ratings in a frontal crash and five-star driver and rear passenger ratings for side-impact protection, according to safercar.gov. The federal government pegs the chance of a rollover in the Dodge Journey at 18 percent.

    The federal government's crash results for 2009 SUVs are slowly trickling out. The Journey and the 2009 Nissan Murano are among the first SUVs to have government crash reports on file. The Murano received four-star ratings in a frontal crash and five-star ratings for side-impact protection. The front-wheel-drive Murano's chance of a rollover is rated at 17 percent.

    The Dodge Journey gets standard side curtain airbags, antilock brakes, electronic stability control and traction control.

    What this means to you: The Dodge Journey shines in the critical area of safety, according to the feds. — Anita Lienert, Correspondent
