Ohare is on to it,probally your axle cv joints ,you tube will provide you example of how they sound when you are turning, i believe if you are turning right in a sharp turn and hear clicking then its your left one. not hard to do but usually requires a air wrench and a few odd size sockets and a torque wrench ,pry bar...OEM parts are more expensive but they are better quality,most part store cv joints have smaller ribbed rubber boots which can tear or rot out faster when the journey is turning in a tight circle...as the old saying goes you get what you pay for,,,,good luck also only do one side at a time do not do both side together as pulling both sides out of the trans at the same time will cause a lot of problems

since you were vague on info ,that was the reason for my answer, i also have the max warranty so yes i know how it works, sorry if you thought i was being a know it all was just trying to help. the dealership should find your problem for you, SO did they replace the ball joints?

surely to god if they were replacing the control arms they would have replaced the ball joints at that time, you might need to find a different mech sounds like they are doing the shotgun approach...also be aware that almost all journeys at one time or another make a noise going over a speed bump at slow speed or when turning and going over a bump or pothole ...How long have you owned this journey

hope it stays working for you. and maybe the wd 40 loosen some corrosion, but my luck on what you did was just kicking the can down the road for a while but at least you seem to be on the right track with the door wireing good luck and keep us informed

no you have seperate blend doors one for each side as well there are two separate areas of the heater core as well from what i have read,google you tube with your yr and dodge journey about blend doors, the passenger side is under the glove box and in a real tight area to get to simple to replace just 2 screws but hard to get to you tube has many videos on this repair,, also befor removing it try tapping on it as you cycle the settings sometimes they get stuck..good luck

my daughters caravan rack and pinion started leaking at the left wheel seal and was filling the rubber boot before it finally busted and let the power steering fluid leak out, how in the hell did it leak into the journey as it is outside of the cabin unless their is a seal where the steering part goes thur the front engine wall, oh well at least you found the problem with the fluid leak

best advice here the cheapest to do and also the most important as well

actually the manual calls for the plugs to be changed every 30 k not 60 k on the 2.4

well most it will take would be around 2 quarts depending on what you changed ,lines,rack and pinion, power steering pump and reservoir.....no way ,, 10 quarts

what is an arts?if your were saying quarts, then you have a massive leak somewhere.not sure of the exact amount any parts store could ell you that info.

hate to tell you but the journey has been discontinued, and of course as manufacturers try to make cars more sophisticated and cheaper things will go wrong more often than not

so true on the 4 wheel drive jeeps and awd vehicles getting stuck in bad weather,,,, i worked at chrysler in huntsville al and we get more ice than snow but every once in a while we get a couple of days of both and i live about 30 miles one way from work and never had any problems getting to work with my fwd caravans ,just being careful and going slow, while a lot of the local southern drivers with their new jeeps stuck alongside the road in the ditch, and they would be saying that was why i bought my 4 by 4 so it wouldn't slid into the ditch ,i would just laugh and say you still have to drive carefully

when buying expensive car parts dont buy from auto zone or orillies go to retailmenot.com and get their coupon code thur advance auto and order online and then head down to the store and pick it up, usually will save you at least 20-70 dollars off any of the car parts you buy

yes the 09 and a few other years of journey have their problems as ALL different car models have as well, small brake rotors and yes the wiring loom i the doors and hatch have been a common problem . after all your journey is an 12 yr old vehicle, sorry to hear you have had problem with your journey,, i have had 2 journeys a 2011 that i loved and traded in on with 70 k and now my 2014 with 110 k on it and so with both of them combined it has only been in the dealership for repairs about 3 times total in the 10 yrs that i owned them both, just the luck of the draw i guess

also if you do have it fixed under your warranty might be a great time if you have anything else serviced if you are getting close on maintenance since it will already be in the shop, kill 2 birds with one shot...take care

just seen your post, i hate to tell you , but i am 99.9% sure there is no bulbs there,, i use to work at chrysler electronics building radios and such that is a solid display glass face design if they still build them that way, now that said it could be the display gone bad or a diode or resistor that is making it light up that way but either way it probally would be more expensive even if you could find someone to check it out and work on it instead of replacing it under your warranty,,,,strange tho as i dont ever remember the light bleed over like that before, usually a part of the sections of the display go bad resulting in just part of a number rto not show up.. good luck,,,,,,,,,i had my back up camera going bad for a long time and i just kept waiting for something else to go wrong so i could have it all fixed under the same ded, but nothing else was going wrong so i finally bit the bullet and paid the ded , and they replaced the camera which was bad...oh well

why not ask your local dodge dealership if you want a def answer

actually i think they are italian

welcome to the group, and hope you enjoy the journey, as far as your question i have no idea,hopefully some one might know

of course no one is forced to get the shot, My personal thought is a roadside shot in a snowstorm where everyone is stuck from someone you do not know is NOT the ideal place to get it, to many Kooks these days trying to sell or do stuff that is not right ,there was a person in texas just last week saying he made a vaccine but didnt want to try to get it approved and was willing to travle to give the shot if paid, which some idiots paid him to do well he got in trouble because he labeled it a vaccine so even tho he was supposed to cease and stop doing it,he rewordeed it as not a vaccine but he used some fancy words that i can't remember and advertised it again well he is in jail now... also there was a local lady getting her first shot and told them she was known to have reactions to certain meds and they recommended to her NOT to take it even tho there were at the hospital but she insisted on taking it and she almost died but they were ready in case she did have a reaction and was able to act quickly enough, i am set up to get our shots after feb 8 and that is our personal opinun but at a local clinic from accreded dr and nurse

well that would help but if they have a real problem that wont work in the long run,but would help mask the problem, a good battery can go a long time with no starting problems....

hate to tell you but some journey owners have problems with their journey battery going dead, so many different reasons it is hard to tell you what to do ,first make sure your fob is more than 30 feet from the journey when not in use,have someone pull the bluetooth fuse in the fuse box located under the glove box,also have the alt checked to make sure it is putting out the correct voltage also see if the dealership will change the battery out even new ones can go bad or get weak,also if all this is done and still problem have a garage check for a low drain on the system while shut off, so many other things as well, one poster had same problem and he said it ended up being the brake light sensor going bad cruise and read thur the forum listed as Electrical, Battery & Charging good luck

okay ill play the devil's advocate on this subject,,,this a feel good article and ended with a great outcome , BUT what would they have done, if one of the stranded people suffered a severe reaction to the shots, as some have here at our local hospital,, as after you get the shot they have you wait at least 30 minutes before letting you go home,,, also i just filled out the paperwork for my wife's and mine to get the vaccine asking us and signing the paperwork listing our medical problems and also if allergic to different kinds of vaccines and meds,as well, since we are 67 yrs old with some medical problems so we are in the next group for the shots whenever that will be

check put the forum here under the audio section , one of our op used crutchfield and seemed real happy with it,,,i thnk i spelled it right,, good luck
