I took the car to a specialized shop, and when they ran the scanner, no errors showed up.

Your BEST way to find the cause is to have a full system scan done(one that can read more than just basic OBDll engine codes). Good scanners can pull "history" codes even if the current warning lights are NOT displayed.

Hi everyone, the tire pressure light on my 2013 Dodge keeps coming on, and the strange thing is that the display keeps changing. For instance, at one point it shows the pressure for the front tires but dashes for the rear ones; then it shows the pressure for the right-side tires but dashes for the left-side ones, and so on. Every now and then, the ABS, brake, and stability control lights also come on. I’m going to check the ABS connector for signs of moisture, as I know this is a chronic issue; I’ve already had the recall work done, but it seems the problem has returned. I’ve also seen reports suggesting it could be the wiring harness coming from the trunk lid, which carries signals for a number of sensors. Has anyone else experienced this?

Third party (non factory) warranty can be harder to use no matter where you live. If dealer sold the vehicle and the warranty as a package. maintenance should be up to date, like transmission oil/filter change etc. Even a used vehicles can have an implied warranty. Refusing warranty coverage is a common tactic to save money. Go back with a confrontational friend; consider paying a lawyer for an hour of consultation. Fingers crossed, tough part of car ownership.

Extended Warranty? by who?? It's usually only as good as the paper printed on unless it was Mopar..You'll be on the hook Good Luck

I purchased my 2019 Dodge Journey Crossroad November 2024 from a dealership, purchased an extended warranty.  It had 67,000 on it and at 87,000 the transmission blew.  I had it towed the dealership and they asked for my service paperwork. I only had 1 printed receipt even though I had other changes but can't find the receipts.  So now the service mechanic said the company may not cover the 6,000 plus repair.  It's the transmission NOT the engine but they still said the company might not cover it.  Do I have any recourse????

Would be a pain, but if you have the oem radio try plugging it back in. Was the android box installed with an interface box to enable heated steering wheel, 120 volt inverter, anything without physical switches ? Try unhooking it if you added one to dash harness.   Locosiete on this site has battled with canbus. Try messaging him. More electrical skills than the rest of us. He disconnected main canbus feed, then traced back to find his problem. Search his posts, clever guy. Has a heavily modified Journey, killer sound system.    

We have now gotten to the root of what caused the original glitching. it was a broken battery cable. That was replaced in fixed. but now the system is still not communicating with the instrument cluster, the radio, the AC controls and remote start is not working.    I'm getting this trouble code:        Diagnostic trouble code (DTC) U0147 on a Dodge Journey means the car's computer has "Lost Communication with Gateway 'B'". In Chrysler and Dodge vehicles, this "gateway" function is typically built directly into the radio/infotainment and HVAC control unit, meaning the main computer can no longer "talk" to your radio or central dash interface.    Does anyone know how to fix it?    I have worked on it for several hours to no avail. and a mechanic has worked on it for 4 hours and cannot figure it out either.    Does anybody know how to recreate the handshake between the computer and the can bus that you throw the stereo HVAC remote start etc. I have tried all of the solutions I've seen thus far online. if any of you have solved this problem please let me know. thanks in advance for your time. 

This is my girlfriends cars, she slacked on the oil changes for sure. My dad and I did confirm that the timing marks are lined up correctly, there is NOT any damage or etc either, my dad used to work on cars a long time and is doing the grunt work with me. He swears everything is lined up correctly. The vehicle has 95K miles, and sadly the cars warranty ran out at 90K, we tried taking it in multiple times when it was under warranty but they stated if its working/running without a consistent check engine light it can't be covered (multiple places told us this)...as the check engine like would go on and off on occasion.    Yes, the plugs are getting wet from gas and we tested the coils for power, ground, but it is NOT getting a signal from the computer to start (according to codes and research we did thats normal).

Concern with a neglected sludge engine goes beyond just chain. It means cylinder walls can have increased wear so compression can drop below functional level. It can mean oil pump in oil pan can be partly plugged up and also be worn. Oil pressure is used to run timing chain tensioner and the vvt cams. Oil is the life blood of an engine; critical item. Older engines with with minimal tec were more forgiving with missed maint. And we haven't even mentioned turbos yet.
