If you cant do the work or have some one you trust to do it on the side then, yes you are at the mercy of whoever you use,,prices can vary wildly between auto repair shops of course you get what you pay for most of the time.....$890 is kind of high on the brakes as far as I am concerned with, parts off Amazon should be around 4 rotors for around $200,, pads around $60 to $120 for the good brands(akebono)are the only pads I will use,,,plus labor the rest just depends on parts and labor ,but all of what you posted needs to be fixed right away also good price on the alignment where I live $ 99. is the cheapest that they will do for a 4 wheel alignment job which is req on journeys $106 on Amazon for front wheel bearing plus labor

thanks for replying back on the fix as that is how others can learn what might be their fix for certain problems

antifreeze jugs are prone to crack,also could it be a drip from your ac drain hole? Put some cardboard down with some rocks on it to keep it from blowing away and then you should be able to tell from the color which fluid it is.

Throwing codes, throttle sensor

Well probably It would be better to take it back to the dealership since they had already worked on it and as they have a lot more experience and equipment to diagnosis your journey problem... Have to ask if you just got it from the dealership and it was still running rough why didn't you take it back right away ,seems to be the right thing to do to me? -
Most probably in the rubber boot in the left upper rear part of your lift gate, this is a weak spot on dodge journeys for wires to break or short out...look on you tube for videos on how and where to fix broken wires in this spot and please report back on what you find out was your problem and how you fixed it for others that might have a simpler problem..also check out the forum for more info on this has been asked before,good luck and Welcome to the group as well

Transmission seems to be slipping.
2late4u replied to Engineerbasher's topic in All Wheel Drive (AWD)
i have a 2014 as well, sounds like the trans is going out on you, mine is JUST FWD but i would assume that since you have an AWD and even if the the rear went out you should still have FWD still, sounds like having it diagnostic will give you exactly what has went wrong and of course that usually cost you some $$ but still cheaper than throwing parts at your journey when you are not sure what is wrong..sorry this has happened to you, but please report back when you find out the problem is for others that might occur this as well........Welcome to the group as well and good luck -
4 yr old battery ,,,yes just replace it and make sure your connections are clean and tight
-
the 4 spds ONLY go into the journeys with the 2.4 engine and the 6 spds only go into the ones with the 3.6 engine

i am no way a transmission man but since you replaced the filter and fluid,and it is still doing it there might be a trans update they could do but i would be more into the solenoid shift module which is inside of your trans might need a twick or something ..............one symptom of a bad unit,,,,, 3. Hard Gear Changes........... gear changes after a slow change up or down are another strong indicator of a shift solenoid problem. You’ll often hear a clunking sound, and the car might lurch for a moment as it grabs the next gear. Again, it can happen when you’re going up or down the tree, but you’re more likely to notice it shifting from first to second. In some cars, hard downshifts with normal upshifting can mean that the problem is isolated to just the downshifting solenoid. This is just one solenoid in the entire transmission solenoid pack. You’re most likely to notice an issue like this if you’re coasting to a stop and the road has a mild incline. At some point, before you step on the brakes, the transmission downshifts with a soft “Clunk.”

about 6 months ago mine made a funny noise as it was closing BUT it still works if when closing it i push it back closed, gently i wasnt sure what happened but as long as it will close i didnt want to tear into it as i have a poor track record on fixing things like this....LOl

i couldn't figure out what he was saying as well

LOL........ We hit the mother load
-
well first you need to find out IF you have AWD or FWD first, if FWD check out youtube videos to see if you have a cv axle going bad or also could be a wheel bearing as well, if you have AWD that opens the door to a lot more expensive problems towards the rear,,,check out the forum under Engine/driveline for more info
-
Found this on youtube for you LOTS of great videos and info can be found there,,,,,,,,,,welcome to the group

welcome to the group i as well have a 2014 crossroad 3.6 FWD. please take some time and read thur the forum under the different section, a lot of great info there

my typing sucks and so does my vision, yes around 70-90 degree weather temps ,206 normal operating temp after being warmed up with 211- 215 normal driving on freeway and in town and 218 has been my highest temp i have ever seen in my 2014,I also just replaced my thermostat last yr as well with mopar coolant...sorry for my mistake on the temps all in fahrenheit readings
-
last post from me on this as you dont sound serious but no i live in Alabama which is in the southern part of the U.S,and am talking fahrenheit so no the numbers you are talking about are way to high, i urge you to have your journey checked by the dodge dealership as they are QUALIFIED to work on it before you overheat your engine
-
there are a lot of brands that say they are compatible with mopar systems,that said since you dont know what your machine used, i would if you have already replaced the thermostat is to flush it again and then use mopar coolant which will cost you twice of what the reg brands cost you... reg temp on a 3.6 should be around 100-106 at operating temp and around 112-115 driving on regular roads even during hot temperature, i have never seen mine over 118 at the most even in Alabama temps,,,now of course if you are going up mountain highways then yes it could go higher but i am not privy to what the max would be there.... sounds like you are having a restriction on flow of your coolant upon acceleration or slight hills.......HAVE you REPLACED the thermostat?????????????
-
240 is way to high, are the fans kicking on? might be time to put a new thermostat in and also make sure you bleed the air from the system? did you replace the coolant with the correct fluid should NOT be yellow more purple looking,
-
well i live in alabama so no you must have something wrong, get it scanned for codes have the plugs been changed out with the proper plugs, has the eng air filter been changed out as well,

Radio Static Noise Problems

no robot what what i have ever heard -
thought id post this off youtube on how to replace or fix broken wires in the upper left rear hatch.........
-
it will just relearn your style of driving over the next few weeks,, that said i noticed you said the 4 cly so not sure if that trans is a relearn as well as the 6 spd trans,,,, John might chime in here in the next day or so and he will have better info on that
-
Don't worry about it that small hole you see is the drain hole to let out water created by your exhaust, the dent might just now be the lowest drain spot due to being hit ,,that said it might rust out a bit faster in the next 4-5 yrs but i wouldn't be worried about it just depends on much salt they use on the roads up there.... all journeys leak water out of there...also welcome to the group
