    • I did two years ago. If never apart the taper fit needs lots of force to separate. I have a really old steering wheel puller that fit into the tight recess.   Removing without damaging is the hard part. Harbor Freight has some unusual pullers, that are cheap enough for one off use.   Cowling plastic would be cheap from auto recycler if you are replacing broken plastic.  
    • Hi. Has anyone ever removed their front wiper arms? If so, how did you do it? I’ve been trying to get mine off so I can realign my wiper arms since the driver side wiper keeps hitting the A pillar because of it being too high when in the park position.   I tried using a wiper arm puller and it wouldn’t fit because of the cowl panel, and then I made the stupid mistake of trying to force it to fit and then ended up cracking the plastic on the cowl panel.   Any suggestions?
    • Ashley must run Uber or some kind of delivery driving. The journey 2.4 is not the self distructing tiger shark four cylinder for sure. Most people do a crank sensor and electronic throttle body by 100-150k miles. Cooling system manifold tends to leak by then as well. Not a difficult repair.    I wonder how many transmissions and and if starter still original, water pump?  Daughter in laws 2.4 oil pan also rotted out by 120k. It's only at 150k miles now, slight oil usage. It works pretty hard in the big journey body. Simple can be good in the automotive world.    The hour meter in the guage cluster should still be recording in the high milage 2.4 journey. Could do an approx milage calculation using that. 
    • Well we went out together and the module did NOT "freeze up", but instead connected to MY phone with no service bars. During a stop light I switched to her phone in settings screen and got service bars by the phone icon on the main screen. We did not try making any calls thru either phone setting, nor had anyone try to call us during our "outing". I guess such is life with modern technology according to how old/young that technology is! 🤔🙁
    • So just to make clear, there is NO failure of the HFM/Bluetooth module.    I checked the '13 for preferred phone setting and set the wifes phone as preferred. The '17 was already set to her phone as she is mostly driving it now. This situation only happened when we were together with both the phones at the same time in the '13. going out today together again with the '17 and will see what happens in that car with both phones.
    • I have a 2017 2.4l engine that has over 650k miles. I do not know exact because it stops counting mileage at 999,999km which is 621369mi i bought this vehicle in September of 2022 with 36,xxx, and by August of 2025 it no longer counted miles. Biweekly oil changes. Alternator replacement 1 time, spark plugs changed at 200,000k and spark plugs and ignition coils changed at 580k mi. Had a check engine light for p0420 from about 180,000 miles cleared code daily till I finally replaced it when I needed throttle body around 560k mi. These are the only repairs I made on this vehicle. Still drives great but I have noticed an oil leak from pan gasket in the last 70k miles. 
    • Yes, our '13 rt which did this on us is also the 8.4 screen with the alpine sound system. This was the first time that we both had our phones in the car at the same time. I could not get the settings screen to move until I "reset " the system by removing the HFM fuse and reinstalling the fuse.   I did not get the chance to look for seeing if there was a "prefered phone" setting on the '13, I know our '17 does but we have NOT had both our phones at the same time in that car yet. I have that one set for MY phone for the '17. When the wife gets home from work tonight, I will "check" for preferred phone setting on the '13 Unfortunately NEITHER car has NAV.   Thanks for the reply!   
    • Welcome to the site. How many miles on vehicle, model ?  How long have tires been in use; what is the wear pattern? Noise can be so many things.   Lower ball joints are very common wear item on journey front ends. Easiest test is tire off the ground and hands at 12 and 6 o'clock, for play. Shouldn't be up and down play.  While 3 and 9 oclock is good for tierod play testing. Our 2014 needed driver side ball joint replaced at 50k miles or 75k ish kilometers. Quality of roads driven on make a difference. Earliest yr of journeys 2009-11 had the cheaper suspension parts. Later yrs much better.
