interesting on your views on your journey problems,, i also have a 2014 crossroad 138 k on it and my problems to date are as follows, oil sender unit went out and covered under my extended warranty ( mopar max warranty)then later on started wearing my rear tires on the inside which was due to the upper rear control/ trailer links ( NON -adjustable) would have been covered under my warranty as well, but i had adjustable upper rear arms installed under my own dollar, then i had my back up camera going crazy like most folks have complained about here, and that was covered under my warranty as well , and then my thermostat went bad i replaced that myself as it was cheaper than my ded on my warranty ($100),and then brings me to my grand repair which i am still waiting on which will be covered as well by my warranty my ABS brake module went bad ( C 2200 code internal fault) and have been waiting about 3 months now with the lights on and no cruise control which i miss dearly,other than that has been a great vehicle, we just got back from our trip to biloxi ms from huntsville al avg 27 mpg on the way home so really cant complain,,,BIGGEST reason i believe on a cars repair would be miles driven and how hard or easy on it and the type of roads and weather in a northern climate with lost of sulsh and salt on the roads to a more mild climate as mine with maybe a snow or two during the winter, which might explain your wheel bearings and struts failures as well..also running 235 55 19 as well,,I kind of wish i had the 17 rims that i had on my 2011 journey,, a lot cheaper to replace and they seemed to last longer that the 19 inch do

agree with 5rebel9 comment we need more important info,, also get it down to a part store for the battery load check and also the alternator check as well...also you should have used the OEM plugs and for the 2.4 they are real cheap less than 415 as the OEM are what the manufacture found to work best,,,,I would bet you you need a NEW battery as that is very important for the journeys to run on

2014 crossroad 138 K,,oil sender unit went bad covered under warranty, then thermostat not to long ago and ABS module went bad and still waiting on the part to come in (backordered supposed to be here 1/2023) will be covered under warranty if it ever comes in LOL

my daughters old caravan kept would ruin her coil every few months and the mech kept replacing them under warranty till the lsat one and he happen to notice inside the plastic connector it was shorting out, but would only happen during different scenarios, he installed a new connector and that solved the problem i bet Locosite is onto something here ,,check all the wiring and connectors

after market alt or OEM alt?

as i said above it looks to be below the alternator and in a recessed location as well good luck also a dealership could show you the exact location as well

the trans has a learning mode as well so it may take a while for it to get use to you, i found before shifting the gear selector its best to wait a few seconds before shifting but it does happen to a lot of journey owners so nothing to worry about

TPMS is for your tire pressure monitoring system it tells you a tire is low on air.. and no the battery is non replaceable, dont know if on the 2010 it tells you8 which tire in the info system thur the steering wheel.....the bumps you feel between r and f are actually kind of normal for this vehicle mine use to do it every so often many yrs ago but no more...and yes the horns seem to have a delay when you push on them

had to google the amount,,,R$5,000.00 = $ 294.U.S.

google would be your best bet...they have several videos on you tube but not on a journey BUT should be in the same general area under the alt.

welcome to the group. sounds like you have done a bunch of work on a low mileage car, if the mileage is correct? anyways we are always welcome to help out if we can

did you have your heater turned on hot and high fan as well both systems if you have rear heat

located on the end of the negative battery cable at the battery connector

well replacing parts without knowing what's wrong can get expensive but i would replace the thermostat again and possible the temp sensors for the fan, or take it into a shop where they can check it out, yes it will cost you some money but will be a LOT cheaper than replacing your engine from overheating it

any parts store can check your battery and alt for free,,, But sounds like your anti skid system is kicking in while the wheels slip on the ice turn off the 4 th button under the radio next time and see if it happens, i always turn mine off in icy weather as it kicks your brakes on and slows you down

which eng do you have i am assuming the 3.6. also how many miles?..after you changed out the thermostat did you bleed the air out of the system?

have never heard of this problem,,, some have asked how to add the grip handles,, best advise i can give is take it in and let thoes that work on this stuff fix it,you might find a headliner/upholster that could do it as well, good luck and please report back on your fix

you sound very competent on working on engines but you say......... I am still trying to figure out which side of the thermostat is the pressure side,,,are you replacing the whole thermostat ,or are you just buying the actual thermostat and reinstalling it into the plastic housing,,,is it possible you installed it backwards? just trying to help..not being hateful

Merry Christmas and a Happy new year and please make it a safe one as well

so it was a wheel speed sensor,, be thankful it wasnt your abs modual going bad that is some$$$$

push the button for the traction control to turn it off when driving on slippery or icy roads, as it will sense the wheels slipping and then apply the brakes, if you are not sure which button it is look in your manual i believe it is the 3rd or fourth button towards the passenger side with the squiggly lines on it,,,also you will have to turn it off every time after you have turned the journey off and then back on

you could use same color duct tape and tape it inside the fuel door flap or the black backside of the hole that the gas cap protrudes thur, i done that for yrs and also on my daughters old vans, it is easy to get to and easy to hide considering the color of your vehicle...and the tape keeps the key clean as well ,,,,,,,,,,,,also finding any metal for a magnetic key holder WITHOUT having to lay on the ground and under your journey will be a challenge,,,LOL

more info from the dealership on the location or description on what a plenum chamber exactly is,, for others to understand? this is all i found using google. hope they solved your problem as well What is the plenum chamber on a car? – TeachersCollegesj teacherscollegesj.org/what-is-the-plenum-chamber... The plenum chamber is a chamber located in front of the windshield, where air pressure is above atmospheric. It provides a volume of air which is drawn into the car from the chamber through the heater, air-conditioner or vents. Later cars with a plenum chamber had a grille, which was the opening to the chamber. What is a plenum used for
