    just wondering for others that might wonder ,how much did the dealership charge for this repair and glad it fixed your problem
  2. 2late4u
    any way it might be the key switch itself?

    you could try to do the hard reset to see if that would change anything if you havent already tried that,sounds like you guys are just been unloading the parts cannon on this without having it checked out properly..What was the problem and codes from going into limp mode? I dont believe a bad alt wouldn't put it into limp mode, after sitting so long was the battery properly checked to see if it was still good? after rereading your post is it just the electronics acting crazy? will it start up and run? also which engine does it have?

    the 2012 had the smaller brake rotors and brakes and has problems with the warpaged of the rotors from overheating, the first one sounds like a good price but depends on the quality of their repairs and the vech. itself,,,,like i said before have a mech check it out real carefully ....good luck

    have no idea if you should buy it,,,AC work can get expensive and if he filled it then yes there is a leak .. no mention of miles? price? or other features,,,good luck on what you decide but i would have a mechanic check it out for damage that you can't see and what he thinks about the rng and trans, does it come with a good title and not a rebuilt title.

    well for certain it wouldn't be due to your battery charger at home to cause a vibration when idling at a light,,, with them saying that i wouldn't trust them no more to work on it,,, might want to run some gas treatment thur your tank for the next 2-3 fill ups. also when was the last time the plugs were changed ?as well for the air filter,, could be many things as as a 13 yr old car keep us informed and good luck

    C2200 fault code, is what my journey has right now and the part is ordered thur the dealership under warranty as well, but wont be in stock till Jan of 2023 the recall on that wire connection was done as well on my journey back a few yrs ago, oh well.....

    welcome to the group, sorry to hear about your problem, due to the holiday most are not reading the blog i am sure someone will chime in soon,,I hate to say there has been a lot of discussions on non starting problems,when you find your solution please report back on what you had to do to fix it for others that might have this happen to them
  11. 2late4u
    i believe this is the part they are saying is my problem from the comment section sounds like quite a few are having problems with theirs as well...since i have warranty guess ill wait till i hear from the dealership on mine or until something happens and i have to get it fixed elsewhere....
  12. 2late4u
    actually i just went to o'reilly's close by my house and they had one for a fwd 2014 journey and they showed it to me and there is no visible tone ring being shown but it was listed for an abs vehicle, and the parts guy said they are built inside the metal casing,,, one thing i would point out tho is to look for one with the rubber boot that has about 5 ribs on it as a couple yrs ago i had to replace several cv axles on my daughter's mail vehicles and i was using advance auto at the time and the ones they had only a 4 rib rubber boot and for most people that might last them, but my daughter did a lot of tight turns with her caravan and the boots would rip or split, last one i went to oreillys and that one never ripped or split.................BUT before replacing the cv axle i would contact your local dodge dealership and ask them where is the tone ring located, either the cv axle or the actual wheel bearing, i would hate to take a part store sales person to tell me where the tone ring is located as it could be located in either part,, good luck and will be wanting to hear the results on this repair

    just checking on amazon they say it doesn't fit 2014 journey,,,,,might be a different one somewhere tho good info john
  14. 2late4u
    and it happened the same time for both of your journeys fobs not to work?
  15. 2late4u
    are you sure you put the batteries in correctly? so you are saying both journeys fob wont work? have no idea on that one
  16. 2late4u
    welcome to the group i assume the plugs have been changed per sch at 100k?
  17. 2late4u
    after checking cv axle for our journey looks like there is no tone ring on it and now i believe it is built into the bearing,,,maybe John/Horace or one of our other members will chime in on this one he is more on top of things than i am
  18. 2late4u
    Welcome to the group,,,,,could also be the wheel bearing going bad, also i believe the tone ring is built onto the cv axle,, when doing tight circles left and right in a parking lot is there any noise such as clicking in either direction would point to a bad cv joint, is the wheel spinning okay with no noise or shake, good luck on what you find out and please report back on what you find to be the problem for others should they have such a problem,, also when you replace the wheel sensor did you check to see if dirt or anything was down in the sensor hole, might try blowing it out with some compressed air just in case

    if its the 2.4 eng the plugs are cheap and easy to do only use the copper core ones OEM brand amazon 4 pc NGK V-Power Spark Plugs compatible with Jeep Patriot 2.0L 2.4L L4 2007-2017 Ignition Wire Secondary Visit the Sixity Auto Store 5.0 out of 5 stars $14.72$14.72 these are the plugs that i used in my daughters mail vehicle EVERY 30 k and she put 160 k on it stop and go and NEVER had any problems due to the plugs dont upgrade to the iridium plugs as once the y sent thoes plugs instead of the ones i ordered and we had problems with them

    needs to be scanned with a good scanner,, my 2014 3.6 keeps coming up with brake light, lightning bolt light and ABS light,,,as well thought it might be a wheel speed sensor but ended up being the abs module,,, so many different reason for the lights so get it scanned and your local part store scanners are not good enough for some of the codes... oh and by the way my abs module is on order with the dealership they said it should be here around jan of 2023 i am lucky not to be having any other systems then the lights the brakes are still working okay
  21. 2late4u
    plus the 3rd rear seats are not that easy or spacious as well ive had both and my 2014 is the 2 row version but i do wish i had the dual air system as it does a better job cooling the journey
  22. 2late4u
    yep OIL is kind of mandatory for long engine life...i harp at my daughter about checking her oil as she is rural mail carrier but it doesn't do me no good,,,same for the grandkids might as well be talking to a stone wall LOL

    John makes a good point about the eng mounts and other things,,, yrs ago my daughter was buying a 1998 jeep cherokee that had a bad motor but it was going to be replaced before she got it,,well long story short they put in a junkyard motor that was almost on its last legs but it dfid run so i was doing some maintenance as changing the fluids on the transfer case ( it didnt have a bit in there) and the rear punkin it had some but needed some fluid when i noticed left side motor mount was missing a bolt and when i checked the others most were real loose and a few other things..daughter says dad the jeeps goes into 4 wheel drive so smooth now i laughed and said ya having some fluids in really helps

    would be interesting to know from which climate the the wires seem to break the most, havent really heard from drivers in the south with the wires breaking as we have from the northern states and Canada extreme cold and opening and closing the hatch seems to be what would be the cause also probally cheap or undersized wire gage as well
