not normal and i would take it to your dealership if your still in warranty, are you saying it makes the noise with the car shut off or just in park with the engine running?

well just for the folks that must complain about our journeys i thought i would post things could be worse...thought some would get a kick out of how the engineers make everything so difficult to fix or do maintenance on their vechiles. but sorry if i had to explain that to you......

i doubt that is a syn change

wow, just got thur checking the air filter on my daughters 2016 jeep patriot..they couldn't have made it any more rought to change, first there is about 6 2 inch screws you have to take completely out and 2 of them on the back side that are almost impossible to reach had to use a socket on a swivel joint attached to a 6 inch extension attached to a ratchet, okay got them all out now you have to take out another screw attaching the air box top to the fender wall, the good thing it was real clean so shook it out a little then reassembled the whole damn thing and of course i drop the back screw and when it fell it didnt go all the way to the ground, so had to use a different screw from the workbench.... why they didnt use snap clamps like they use on most vehicles ????also i was installing a seat setback on the right seat and boy i wish the rear doors on it would open like our journeys do.. anyways got her all set so she can deliver the mail a little more comfortable now........

to be honest almost any place would be cheaper then the dealership for an oil change. i would just make sure they are using the right oil filter...

there is a post just above and he is running the size you typed in, he says no problem......

larryl is giving you some good advice i had a 2011 and it had some rotor problems but not to bad i traded it for a 2014 and the brakes are so much better, i would advise to upgrade your ride if you havent already bought it to a 2013 or newer if you can afford it, (the cheap comes out the expensive at times)... also unless he has upgraded the brakes to the larger calipers and rotors you might still have problems with them...

what he is saying this yr has undersized brake rotors and you might have ongoing warping of the rotors due to heat and hard use,some do and some dont mostly depends on your use and how you drive...welcome to the group....

so much info on a car 8yrs old ,yes the brakes can be a problem but i am thinking you drive like my daughter who is hard on her brakes in any car......

why not ask the local police man for an accurate answer??????

why not ask the parts dept at your dealership, could be different wires on the back side for your 2017????

stay with the 17 tires as they are cheaper to replace. have been told even size tires are cheaper than odd size tires so if you upgrade stay with the even size...

engine size, miles? also did you try putting gear selector in neutral and then starting it? sometimes mine doesn't start and i push the button to off then re step on the brake pedal harder then hit the start button works for me ,i dont think i am pushing hard enough of the brake pedal when it doesn't start. have a local auto store do a load test on your battery just in case....

take it by the dealer on monday.

go to an auto store and let them check it and they would probable clear it for you...

really not needed unless you go off road with your journey and then it depends on the toughness of the skid plate for it to do its job.also would question if it will interfere with keeping the cooling of the engine and would it trap debris or mud and or salt on the top side between the cover and the engine....if you do get it take some pics and post it here might be something others might consider....good luck

welcome to the group. looks great and i know you will enjoy owning your journey for many yrs to come.it use to be you would never buy a vech with 100k on it but the engines are made so much better now days, you should get a lot more miles out of it .....

Dodge Journey DIY Maintenance & Repair Guides

he says front windows so i assume he means the front side windows not the windshield but i have seen some cars with the whole windshield tinted it looks dangerous....

it worked for me and i heard the chirps sounds like a baby chick .have no idea what would cause it but like jekeaton says take it to a dealership to have them check it out.....

some times the cheap comes out expensive.....

we are getting so many post that are very hard to understand due to the posters wording and lack of info. i believe that when they start their membership it should be required to list the yr of their journey ( that way we would have some idea for their question) the region from where they live( so we would have an idea of what conditions they might be encountering on their journey) maybe even engine size (2.4 , 3.6, 3.5 ,or diesel from overseas) What do you all think???????

i was past the mileage on the 3 yr/36 miles and that part is not covered under the power train warranty from what i was told.. dealer said the cost of replacing that sender unit is about $400-500 as the book calls for them to pull a bunch of the top of the engine to get to it. there was a you-tube video of a dodge mechanic replacing it with out doing all that by working on it by feel. i tried to see it after watching the video and hell i couldn't hardly even see the part took him about 1/2 hr of course they would still charge you the full time the book calls for ....

had it added to mine also, hard to understand why a dealer would order their cars without the backup cam ,as my journey had the 8.4 display i am still thing of adding the back up parking sensors that beep. the one thing i really like to have is the signal that tells you someone is in your blind spot as they are passing you, i have read their are some add on units but they didnt get real good reviews from the testers as to many false alerts from them.
