cars are getting to damn complicated nowadays and also have to parts assigned to the vin to work..sigh I do miss some of the old day traditions

just seen this video on you tube kind of explains what could be the problem on a dodge patriot, just thought id post it for us that are trying to follow the problem.....

Yes it is possible from what I've read about over toiling K-N air filters but I have run the same filter on my 2011 for 70k and then took it out and installed in my 2014 and have 163 k on it with no problems of course proper cleaning and recoiling as well,,KIND of like anything if done right there is usually no problems..I even bought the K-N cabin air filter as well has saved me a ton there as I clean it out every 6 months or so.....at the time it was around $35, and at $10 a pop for a cabin filter I have saved well $200 over the yrs not counting the air filter for the eng

whew I just got tied reading about all the work you got lined up,,well the wife just got diagnosed with COVID today as well oh well at least get it over quicker this way,caught her infection early so for her is going a lot better that mine did but I am already on the mind just cant stay still

I don't believe he is listing that he needs to rework his brake job and checking all the trouble spots like the caliper pins and rust jacking under the Brake hose clamps,,I gave him the heads up on all new pads and rotors that I have used with no problems, I don't believe in buying kits that they sell everything together

if you feel resistance and then released it then felt okay then your parking brake are working okay,,,just wondering have they changed the parking brake mine is just a pedal on the left side of the drivers fender wall? push it once to apply the parking brake then push it again to release the brake,,is that how yours is?

you apply the emg brake and then put the journey in forward and see if the journey moves if not apply a bit of gas to see how much resistance of the rear brakes you have you should noticed almost immediately`...ALSO quit TURNING your rotors they are not like old time rotors that had plenty on meat of the...I only use Amazon for these products and never had any problem as well akebono pads make three OEM pads for dodge as did as the last time I checked......do all 4 corners this nextime with all new parts and clean and lube all the slide pins and wire brush your caliper brackets and use the new clips and you should never have to change your pads for another 70-100k unless you live where there is a lot of ice and salt and then just a quick cleaning and inspection of slide pins would be a great tuneup Akebono ACT1596 Proact Ultra Premium Ceramic Disc Brake Pad kit Fits 2014 Dodge Journey 4.9 out of 5 stars 12 $60.57$60.57 Akebono ACT1589 Proact Ultra Premium Ceramic Disc Brake Pad kit , GREY Fits 2014 Dodge Journey 3.8 out of 5 stars 29 $71.72$71.72 List: $95.99$95.99 Raybestos 780964R Professional Grade Disc Brake Rotor Visit the Raybestos Store 4.9 4.9 out of 5 stars 16 ratings | Search this page Raybestos 780965R Professional Grade Disc Brake Rotor Visit the Raybestos Store 4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars 29 ratings | Search this page $37.98 with 27 percent savings-27% $37.98 $45.78 with 15 percent savings-15% $45.78

Yes that picture he posted didn't quit look like the end of the inner tie rod so he may have more problems that we don't see..................well only thanks to Covid and the Flu b virus ( also have all the shots for both virus as my wife has an immunity problem )Fri night started feeling bad went to ER sat morning and then sleeping for an hour then coughing then going back to sleep and then waking up again every hour for the last 2 days and nights,, ended back up at my Fr Monday morning my throat felt like a raw piece of meat, he prescribed some steroids treatment as I could hardly even swallow a small amount of water at the time, feeling better as of now BUT he said probally be a week before I get to be feeling better...the Dr did say that this Covid virus that the sore throat was a big issue for it

I don't have AWD but it looks like you have some leakage from the darker spots around the unit so even if you replace the bolts using some blue thread locker ,you might still be low of fluid of what ever kind... you mentioned sand in the wheel weights? there has been a lot of discussions on work being done on this unit klook under the forums for info

guess that is why I didn't see a video on the 2.4 did see one on the 3.5 2010 tho and I agree on NOT using most aftermarket parts off amazon and most part stores for the same reason yes cheaper but as you said most don't work as good or last as long as OEM.

welcome to the group,,that said sorry to hear of this problem and sounds like you have a good bit of knowledge of what to check to find this out with no codes,,,have you checked the wire harness where it would be connected for the 2 wires that would have been cut off or rewired?hopefully dodge will respond back quickly on your problem and please report back on what you find out to be your solution,,for others that might ever have this problem,as I watch a couple of videos on it I have the 3.6 but my daughter had the 2.4 in her patriot as her mail vehicle and it was a real good workhorse eng for her,,only use the OEM plugs ( only about $15-20) for it tho and change them out every 30 k and no other problems till she got rid of it except having all the wheel hubs replaced as wheel

i believe you need someone to lift the hatch from the outside while you are turning the screw

yes there are a few ads as of now,I havent seen any just ask questions,,,, the site still works good as it always has for me

Had mine ( 2014 crossroad)done at the dealership at around 60 k and then had it done again at around 100 k when i had my plugs and coolant service done as well not cheap at the dealership but i have the lifetime warranty so i wanted it on record that they had done it...I wouldn't rec anyone to do a flush

How to: Replace viscous coupler ,,,,,,,, found in the forum one person replaced his you need to read it..listed under engine and drivetrain section.......also check out YouTube for videos related to your problem..here is one...

I don't have AWD but CV axles will clunk or make noise when turning as well,,there will be more qualified answers to come to you from here we have some good mechanics on here,,,but for your question on what yrs your local dealership parts dept will be the quickest and most dependable answer to that question..good luck

I doubt that this will help as the few folks that have mentioned a problem that only a very few have asked about and then never came back with their solution,if it was the clamps there would be a huge following about this problem,but I have seen some you tubes about the clamp vs clamp comparisons

nope,, in Alabama,,,born and raised in Clarkston Mi, moved south around age 23 raced Woodward Ave every Fri and Sat nite,if we weren't going over to Windsor Ca.

2014, 162 k, on the clock and everything still OEM org on the front end,a lot depends on how to drive and where you drive and how you take care of your vehicle, I did replace the upper rear lateral links since the OEM are non adjustable and went aftermarket with adj ones, never had a problem with our 2011 with them but the 2014 was wearing their tires a lot

thanks for the warnings as well..glad you found your problem before you overheated your engine and welcome to the group
