easy to replace.

well since no mention of miles i will assume no warranty is left, you could always pull the fuse for the seats till you can get it looked at...good luck

you can check it yourself it has been discussed here check the forum for info on how and what to check for or take it to the dealership or local garage that does electrical work..

normal sound for most journeys at times my 2011 did it more than my 2014 does there was a transmission flash that some have said helped check with your local dealership to see if its been done or if they could do it for no charge good luck usually it only happened to mine when i seemed to shift it too fast between one or the other,,,,,,,also the squeak or the noise you might hear from time to time going over bumps is kind of the same thing mostly from the struts is also a common standard complaint good luck and happy driving lots of great info check put the forum section for more info on what the posters are talking about

my 2011 had a few times it hung up with the air coming out the floor but always reset it self after a short while, havent had any problems with 2014 model knock on wood

most auto parts store should know or call the dodge dealer for the correct answer and get your torque specs as well

sorry to hear about your father and job loss but electrical problems can be hard to find and expensive to fix good luck

wouldn't think so since it is on the battery but that part inst cheap either,might want to have a mech check it out the shotgun approach of changing parts can get expensive, wouldn't have any idea on how to check that part hell didnt even knew it existed till i read the other poster talking about it.

also i would check all the wiring to and from the alt check for loose and bare wiring, bad connectors and also check the alt decoupler to make sure it is still good ,had one go bad on my daughters caravan we thought it was the alt but it was that decoupler pulley

well advance auto parts are not really top grade even tho i use some parts from them sometimes.my dad yrs ago was out of town and had an alternator go bad and the mech put on one from a auto store like advance with a lifetime warranty and got half way home on their trip and the van quit again well it was the alternator again so it was replaced under warranty no problem, except different mech so their was a charge for the labor then when he got home from the trip about a week later it went bad again. so this time he had it towed in to the dodge dealership and they said it was the alternator was bad , he told them the problems he was having with it and they told him sometimes on parts like that you really need to replace with the Mopar part so he said go for it. never had any more problem with it again.of course the part was a lot higher from the dealership and he was able to get his money back from the chain store for their alternator after showing them all the paperwork

welcome to the group,sounds like you got a great deal iv had journeys since 2011 and have loved both of them......

thanks for the update

he is asking because he bought a new pacifica, not a journey. less height on them

hey that is usually my line......

well you did ask?

just assumed you bought it new,they come with with 4 free oil changes , well if you dont have them go to Walmart or a local garage a lot cheaper then the dealership

first off syn at the dealership is really high, 2nd just do your first 4 free oil changes at 6 k not 3 k just wasting your free changes. and by oil extractor i am assuming you mean a tube down the oil stick tube it would work but probally wont get all the oil out and or any residue that would drain out by removing the drain plug.after looking at the oil extractor kind of pricey and had some bad reviews . think i ( 65 yr old fat man)would stay with the oil pan and remove the drain plug i mean its usually only once a yr or so...good luck

i have the one seat in the back so havent looked but if that is all no problem removing the 4 bolts that is how they did at the factory. are trying to say both car seats to still be put in the second seat even if you remove the partial one? is the child safety seat hooks still there for both of them?

i've read even some states are outlawing the underside lights

well with 2 car seats in the second row the 10 yr old might have to start going in thur the rear hatch is all i can come up with kind of limited on options.....

yea def looks like a repaint, good luck

have a 2014 myself only problem i've had is a oil senor at about 45k went bad, but other than that no problem except replacement tires on these 19 rims are costly kind of wish i had the 17 inch rims that i had on my 2011 journey back. love my journey...

a lot of great info here

it was my mistake on the back up cam, i guess she had added a aftermarket dash cam that was causing the battery drain....

ah read dash cam and my mind read back up cam guess because it was a 2017,wasn't expecting aftermarket equipment....
