  1. got my 2nd covid shot (moderna) on Monday so was feeling under the weather Tuesday sick to my stomach and headache as well, so i slept most of the day and night,and woke up early today feeling great, the shoulder is still a bit sore, the wife didnt have no ill feelings, but I went to the store today and the airbag light was still on the horn works and cruise control as well so i got to thinking about thejeepdrivers post as well and poked around underneath the passenger side and squeezed the connectors and did the same to the drivers side as well, and then started the journey back up and the light came on then went off so guess that fixed it ill just keep an eye on it, i did have heated seats put in aftermarket so the wires are hanging down a bit, guess i need to tidy up under there so they dont get tugged on again... oh well everything ended well
  2. well about 111000 k and nice and warm and this morning the air bag light came on, but no messages, and havent checked for codes yet , but did the start 3 times with the ign button and computer said everything was okay but light still coming,just had my back up camera fixed about a month ago so up to date on recalls and no updates to be done , so going to give it a few days and see if it goes away hoping its just a lazy sensor,dont feel like paying the ded ( $100.)to have it fixed right away but might have to, i started and stopped a few times and shut off the journey and restarted it and still there havent tried to disconnect the positive cable yet , might try that tomorrow
  3. would be a good idea for the check on the battery and to make sure the cables are clean and tight, journeys do like their juice.other than that hard to say what else could be wrong,, some after market parts sometimes dont work as good as the oem parts do,,,good luck please report back on what he finds to cure the problem for other people that might find themselves in a problem like this
  4. i also will point out that the warranty price from dealers that sell you the journey will be a lot higher than the one i showed you, the dealers have a mark up of almost 50 % so be careful and also only settle for a mopar warranty and not a third party warranty as well...that said also be warned that this is the last yr for the journey so even tho they have to supply parts for a certain amount of yrs (7 yrs i believe) sometimes getting them parts can be a bitch, i once had a caravan that the seat fabric got ripped by their mechanic and they had to order the seat fabric cover thur mopar took about a month and then when he installed it he put a longer screw in a certain area where it didnt belong and it ripped the seat again so they reordered it again and they were never able to get it , i finally gave up on checking on it. so be warned as well.
  5. the lifetime warranty were discontinued a couple yrs ago,but they do offer some long term ones check out,www.chryslerfactoryplans.com for some prices and length of warranty you dont need a vin # to check it out
  6. yes journeys do have their problems same as all vehicle do, just remember this is the last yr for this model as well, that said if you take care of one and do your maintenance they are great value for the money, their are always lemons as well with any vehicle that is out there, i had a 2011 put 70 k on it and then liked it so much traded it for my 2014 106 k on this one yes i have had 3 things go wrong withe it, a oil pressure sending switch and a wheel speed senor and also just had the rear camera replaced. also i have the 3.6 eng in both so cant speak for the 2.4 engine power i would recommend one to any one wanting a bigger size vehicle that can carry 6 people with luggage for a great price, but you can always pay an extra 20 grand and buy yourself an Toyota Subaru or Honda one of the other high price SUV and also pay the higher price on repairs and maintenance that comes with them..good luck
  7. had my 14 crossroad changed at 60 k cost me around $185. just had it changed again at 104 k cost was below $300 cant remember and to lazy to go check, i just believe in changing oil in the engine as well as the trans, never had a flush or power flush why run clean oil thur a dirty filter all prices in U.S. and also i have the unlimited miles and yrs warranty as well,didnt want to give them excuse to say i didnt have it done, hence why i had it done at the dealership...actually sounds reasonable as prices have went thur the roof on everything here lately...might want to check a different dealer as they all charge different prices on labor and parts
  8. .call your dodge dealership for the correct answer without the guessing, compare their price to the aftermarket as well have your vin # when you call them
  9. start watching some you tube videos on blend doors
  10. i would say yes a blend door if you hear it running but no air coming out
  11. i would say yes replace the caliper,and also do your front pads at the same time as since you will be having to bleed the lines as well
  12. if you have the oem oil plug you wont need a crush washer, oil fluid should be listed in your manual and also under the hood, i have the 3.6 so not sure on the filter # i use syn,5 w 20 in my 2014
  13. https://youtu.be/VabsoNG8m3E LOL old age is getting to me
  14. I know not a journey but the basic are there,, was posting just to show this guys talent working one handed most of the time, i watch his videos as no bull crap and just straight forward camera work, as he shows the tools and how to undo connectors as well
  15. what engine do you have and miles on the clock? i agree with Armando as you will probally have to have it checked by a qualified mechanic , throwing parts at a vehicle gets expensive
  16. should have let them replace it since they knew which wheel senor was bad, the cost of senors are not expensive depends on which brand but from 25- 100 for it not to hard to replace, google it on you tube if you want to do it yourself
  17. if you are not getting any air blowing out then probally the blower or the blower motor resister or a fuse , hard to tell over the internet, do you have dual air or just the one system?
  18. sure would be interested to find out what they wrote on the work order and saying what they had to do to fix this and also was this covered under warranty or how much did they charge you, info for others that might come up with this problem
  19. please report back on what they find out for others that might have the same problem. good luck
  20. i would replace your battery as it is at least 3 yrs old and even tho it test good, journeys like a strong battery, my last battery wouldn't start the journey and I called a tow truck as the neighbors jump start unit wouldn't start it either, so the tow truck guy got here and checked it out and said well before i load it let me try my jump pack which he had a professional unit and the journey cranked right up and i took it down the street to a local garage and they checked the battery and said well it testing low but still good,,i said hell no put in a new one....as well my lights and other things in the journey worked as well before getting the jump......
  21. well at my dealership there is a 129 charge for diagnostics charge that goes towards the repair if they do the job, sounds like there is more of a problem than just the computer that was mentioned,yes dodge dealerships are a higher cost but also they usually are more qualified on what repairs they do than your local garages, sorry you are gong thur this mess but my advise is to pick ! mechanic and only 1,,,to fix it otherwise you are just throwing parts at a vech. that might not be needed
  22. after reading this posting ,, i decided to use some DuPont dry film silicone spray that i bought off amazon, as i had read somewhere that a person used something like this to spray the bushings under the front end to help with squeaks and they said it helped, at first i did the upper strut collar with wd 40 and regular silicone lube and just sprayed the hell out of both sides and took it for a drive and the squeak was still there so came back and turned the wheels all the way to the left and then used the DuPont dry film spray on the sway bar bushings and also i believe it is the lower control arm that connects to the body of the car or frame, and then also sprayed the strut arm stabilizers bushings as well , did both sides and then the wife and i took off to her Dr office about 30 miles away in a bigger city so did a lot of twisting and turning going thur that town and never did hear the squeak again i believe it was the control are bushings was the ones making the noise, dont know how to post a picture but it is the bushing i sprayed, was around the size of a hockey puck that was bolted up to the frame, flat side up,,, will re post the results on how long it last squeak free this DuPont dry film lube is supposed to last a long time according to their literature i had bought it 4-5 months ago and forgot to try using it with everything that has been going on with the wife's health problems
  23. some say they think have found the reason for the squeak when going over bumps or pot holes, but no real solution, some say the strut bearing collar at the top is the culprit as well which makes sense it only happens when going over a small bump or whatever,,,, and yes every once in a blue moon i have gotton the clunk from the trans shifting as well but has been a very long time since i have heard it and have 110 k on my 2014
