Same issue, 2017 Crossroad Plus, 3.6, AWD. Wondering if it’s time to go. Just began daily routine of hot on driver side, cold on passenger side. 90k miles. Unconfirmed estimates of $1,600.00 to replace heater core. Then belts and hoses. Hate to leave the car but it’s now getting to eat expensive parts & labor. Has anyone ever successfully flushed the core?

Love your characterization “brutally removed”. Honestly is still the best policy. Spent 3 hours trying to get the bolt to turn and it was frozen solid. Broke 3 new drill bits, 2 new screw extractors, finally cut it off at the head. Found a YT video where the mechanics took everything apart at the tailgate then realized the insert was glued in where the plate sits. Their ultimate solution? $12.95 license plate frame for a 2000-2004 BMW. Mine’s coming from Amazon Monday. Happy 4th everyone and God Bless America! (And all here as well!)

Shame on me. 5rebel9 has a much better first choice for an answer. Only if the icons are there try the battery disconnect. Once again good luck!

At the risk of sounding way too elementary, I’d disconnect the battery for about a half hour. First time I had a radio problem I squeezed out of the dealer service department that’s all they did and it worked. Had a ‘14 Dart with 8.4 and no nav and have a ‘17 Journey with nav. Good luck!

2017 Crossroad Plus w/3.6AWD. Just put on BFG T/A Advantage Plus and initially it looks like I’m dropping 2-3 MPG down to 23 highway. These are auto/light truck tires and are replacing the Kumho OEM at 30k. Headed out soon for an 800-1,000 mile round trip so I’ll have a better read on what kind of MPG I’ll be in for longer term. Got these because i live in NW PA and don’t want the expense of separate snows and rims. Tires have a specific snow rating and tread is aggressive, though that seems to be coming at the expense of a few MPG. Time will tell.

Brought mine back to HF last week, no receipt and no problem. In and out with a gift card (tax incl) in less than 5 minutes.

Been using Mobil 1 since 1976 in a new Chevy Nova. Many cars since then including my 2017 Crossroad Plus. Consistent over the 10 Chrysler products preceding this one, I get minimum sticker mileage though typically 2-3 miles mpg greater. I also check tire pressure frequently.
