i remember on my older caravans at around 100k they would start leaking transfluid and my transmission man said just to fix the seal would cost almost as much as rebuilding it due to the time he would have to take apart and then rebuild it, it was the older 4 speed trans which you would have IF we have to guess on which transmission you have

thanks john for the info, i had my son come by with his code reader it has a stored code of C2200-49 which when googled says it means,,,, Code: C2200-49 Definition: Anti-Lock Brake Module Internal - Internal Electronic Failure Description: Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) Module detected an internal error. I guess a trip to the dealership is in order i looked at all the wheel sensor wires and everything looks okay,,,,past my expertise at this point, just take it into the dealership and bend over, but since i have the unlimited warranty maybe it wont be to bad ( 100 ded) and pray whatever they find is covered by it...LOL oh well p.s. but as i said before if the lights come on i can stop the journey for a minute or two and then restart it and a lot of times the lights go off so it is intermittent at least it shows the code is stored so at least they will have something to work on and cased the lights go off

probally yes expensive, i wouldn't worry about it myself.is the crack is in the outside plastic that you can feel with your finger tip or a small screwdriver? the plastic chrome ring that is part of the dash is okay ,the plastic lens covering the actual speedo is usually screwed or spot welded to the speedo unit itself...either way it wont cause you no problem unless it just aggravates you enough to spend the $$

as far as the heater core i wouldn't bother to try an flush it being a 2009, just replace it and save yourself some time and trouble check out youtube for the easy way to replace it...as far as the other problem it is one of the actuator /blend door not opening and closing there, my 2011 had this problem for just a short time but it fixed itself before i had the chance to take it into the dealership as we were on a vacation out in las vegas at the time, i believe there are 3 blend doors and the one hanging up on you is the hardest one to get to check out youtube for more info...when you get it fixed please report back on what or how you got it fixed for others that might have this problem...good luck

first off we need more info WHICH ENG do you have? that will tell us which transmission you have as well...sounds like you need to find a qualified mechanic to work on transmissions as that will be needed to fix the shift solenoid

sounds expensive and might cause problems with the electronics, but let us know for thoes who think they might want it

to be honest i just went out and checked my 2014 crossroad 3.6 and when i go to the manual shift it does say D and then when i push to the + it shows 1 and then as i accelerate it goes up 2,3,4, and so on

are you driving with it in the auto selection? If driving in Drive ,then that is the only info you will get,,,,,or are you shifting it with the gear selector manually? I never have had heard of any other thoughts on this

hardly have any yellow color of rust much less rust...LOL sure do love the south for that,,,whatever happens ill make sure to report back on the cause the fix,guess ill just let it go until the lights stay on full time as it is not causing any driving problems so far just my mind saying fix that dam light/problem it happened this moring while on vacation so i turned the car off and then back on and then drove for 6 hrs back home and still no light...oh well thats life

well I have started having these lights coming on and figured well 1 of my wheel sensors going bad ,as i had it happen couple yrs ago,, so with the lights on i took it to the local parts store and they checked with their scanners but it didnt show anything even with the lights on, I have been told only the dealers or garages with the high dollar scanners can read which sensor or wheel bearing is going bad,,, the thing is tho this has been happening for a week so far and if i stop and turn the car off and then wait a few seconds then restart the car and take off no more lights for a few days,,,, so i removed the wheels from the front and removed the sensors and wipe them clean ( they really wasnt dirty and then blowed some compressed air into the hole and on the left side a tiny bit of something hit my forehead and i thought ah that was the problem but alas it wasnt,,,also really cant take it into the dealership till it really craps out as they cant fix something they cant replicate ,,i do have the max mopar warranty but with the 100 ded so i guess ill have to wait till it completely dies before taking it in,,,i also checked all the connections that i could reach both the rears and fronts but didnt bother trying to remove the rear sensor as it is kind of buried under the brake shield and pads,,,LOL guess i was getting lazy, checked the grounds that i could find up by the under the hood connecter and they were clean and tight,and no battery problems as well, checked the wheel bearings by spinning them and shaking them and they all seemed great have 2014 crossroad 131 k on the clock, of course the front wheels dont spin as free as the years since it is FWD. any ideas?

swap the number 1 cly coil to the #4 coil plug to see if it is the coil or something else

just the color and smell, BUT i would assume the worst and do a coolant and thermostat service and pay close attention to the hoes as they might be over 13 yrs old, and change out the transmission fluid and filter as well, might want to clean out the power steering fluid as well, and take a close look at your serpentine belt for cracks and damage

you can buy a correct aftermarket dip stick if your not sure

well i have a 2014 and i also marked my oil dipstick according to the youtube video and then also checked my trans level and everything lined up according to the marks so I would imagine that is your problem that you are low on transfluid on your 09 model, that said you didnt mention how many miles you have on your journey so i would first start by having the fluid and filter changed of course if you are that low on fluid your transmission might possibly be damaged but that is the chance you are taking by not having it checked by the local dealership or transmission shop...have no idea on the cruise control working intermittently

Ernesto Flores 3 months ago @therealjoethebro Whenever the brake pedal position sensor is removed and reinstalled or replaced with a new unit, it is necessary for the Antilock Brake System (ABS) module to calibrate the reinstalled or the new sensor. Follow the programming steps outlined in the diagnostic scan tool for the “ABS Initialize” routine under “Miscellaneous Functions” for the “ABS Module” menu item as appropriate. REPLY

they can be bought at most local auto stores,i bought a big assortment off amazon for dodge vehicles a lot cheaper than the local auto part stores

i would replace the plugs first before doing anything else as bad plugs can cause an erratic driving pattern ,as such thinking of you having trans problems or water in gas as well,,do the simple things first that also cost the least

first i would siphon the gas out of your tank since you SAY the local gas station\ had a breach of their tanks then refill half a tank and then add some dry gas ( product helps remove water from the tank)

also fuel filter is in the tank non serviceable on most new cars not sure if you have one on a 2009 that you can change as mentioned i would add a couple of cans of dry gas to your tank and then change your plugs as well and might as well check your air filter

first off to check / add trans fluid is to look towards the right front of the eng between the rad and engine you will see a tube with a cap on it that is your transmission fluid filler, check youtube for the video on how to mark your oil dipstick so you can check your trans fluid level..i marked mine with a small file on the edge of the stick,,,,also if needing trans fluid make sure you use the correct fluid

so what are your codes showing since you have the check engine light on? also have you done the 100k transmission service?looks like you have around 140 k as of now, sounds like a trip to the transmission shop might be in order,good luck and report back on what you find out to be your problem

journeys like a strong battery, when they get low the electronics go crazy,,,,have someone give you a jump or just replace the battery look on youtube for info on how to do it or pay your local garage to replace it

dealership or scrap yards like lkq

mine (2014)would sometimes show up upside down but then would revert to normal view and then started not working and then restart working again it i did that for about 6-7 months before it finally went out for good, i took it in as i had an extended warranty with a 100 ded they said it was the actually camera lens in the lift gate,,,, i wonder if it was just a loose wire or connection, who knows good luck on finding out what the problem is,,,just wondering did they cover the cost of replacing the radio?
