Traction control light on other Journey years
Report counts are for each model year on its own, so a newer car has had less time to collect them. Model years with too few reports of it for a sheet: 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019.
What this problem usually is
This sheet collects reports of the traction control or stability control light staying on, or a "Service StabiliTrak" style message, often with no obvious reason. Six in ten complaints here mention the traction control light or a warning, and four in ten mention the ABS, the brakes or the check engine light as well.
What got replaced
Owners who name the part that was replaced mention the ABS/ESC module (24 reports) and the wheel speed sensor (6 reports).
Recalls and investigations
One recall on the stability control covers the 2015 model year. A recall on the same system isn't always the same failure, so read the defect text.
In the affected vehicles, water may enter the wiring harness for the Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) module and leak into the module, disabling the ABS and/or the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system.

Should you keep driving it?
This page can't tell you that. 2 of 54 reports involved a crash and 2 people were hurt. Owners who file are the ones who had a bad experience, and nobody checks their reports. If the problem affects steering, braking, power or a fire risk, treat it as a safety fault and have it inspected before a long or high-speed drive.
File your own report with NHTSA. Complaint counts are how a problem gets an investigation. How reports land on this sheet.
