I was reading up on that oil filter but doesn't it have a certain way/or delay to start the journey each time to pressure the unit with oil?

he never replied back on whatever he found out to be the problem, with car blogs replying back on your solutions are what make it better for others to fix their problems...pleas report back on what you find to be your solution to your problem,,, dealerships have the best knowledge about our journeys ...YES they cost more but work is warranted and sometimes cheaper than using a parts cannon,,,good luck and welcome to the group

as I said had the front end alignment and I had the mechanic check the brakes ,wheel hub bearings and struts out as well ,also its not the struts as actually they had been replaced last yr at the Nissan dealership

I just bought a K-N cabin air filter yrs ago, just pull it out wash it rinse it off let it dry a bit spray it with some air freshener then reinstall it and I do it twice a yr. saved me a bunch as well as the K-N air filter for the eng which I bought for my 2011 journey ( 70K)and then transferred it to my 2014 (presently 162 K) I clean and recoil it every oil change which is around every 6k or around 2 times a yr

I have a 2014 and even tho I have the Mopar lifetime warranty on i, I had the trans fluid changed at around 60-65k and then again around 100k if I remember right while they were replacing the plugs and also the coolant replacement, yes kind of pricey at the dealership but got it done right and on record just in case of problems..only makes since to change it out reg. To me a flush just doesn't make sense without changing the filter but its up to whoever and whatever they believe in

thanks I am waiting on getting his car next weekend or when ever he can get it by here

so all the problems started after the replacement of the starter? that is where I would start looking for your problems might be as easy as a bad or one that is loose, could be wires going to the starter shorting out as well, did you replace the starter or did you have a shop do it? to many things going wrong at the same time right after the starter install. might want to have them recheck what they did? also have your BATTERY load checked and also the alternator checked out at your local part stores and they can even check the starter out as well at least that is a free check as well good luck and please report back on what you find out to be the problem for others to learn from also how old is your battery? OEM? good clean and tight connections? also check the battery jump connectors up top of the engine as who ever might have disconnected it there from the battery during the starter install and didn't tighten them back up,you would be surprised people come here asking about electrical problems and then come back and say it was a loose battery connection,or dirty ,or a almost bad battery do the free cheap check first before using the parts cannon...P.S. Welcome to the group as well

the mechanic did switch the front tires thinking it might be the tires but it didn't change after swapping them,,after the alinement driving straight down the center of the road with hands off the steering wheel,,,but if you hit the gas pedal real hard it will pull to the right real fast,, going to have the grandson bring it over next weekend so I can look the engine mounts over real good have been watching a lot of you tube videos on replacing the top right front and there other one right behind it they call that one a torque mount sounds like the Altima seen to have problems with them, no mention of this problem just rotting out quickly,doesn't look to bad on replacing them....LOL

take some time and read thru the forum for a lot of GREAT and some bad advise,,take care

don't know how to share the Artical but here it is at this link https://moparinsiders.com/the-chinese-built-2024-dodge-journey-thrives-in-mexico/

well my grandson has a fwd Altima and I put it in for a 4 wheel alignment at the local garage as it would slowly drift to the right when going down the center crown of the road,well the mechanic called me and said it was the right side CV axle going bad as he said and we test drove it and while going straight he said to let go of the wheel and hit the gas and when I did it pulled real quick to the right, well I said okay to the replacement But it didn't fix that issue so he he reinstalled the OEM axle back and didn't charge me for any of that work(wow) and he did say it was out of alignment a bit, so he fixed that and he thinks it is the right engine mount going bad?? (((haven't had a good chance to check it out as he needed the car back right away to go to work in)))the mechanic checked the brakes and wheel bearing hub and said that wasn't the cause but that he doesn't do eng mounts and and on the Altima it was a real pain to change.... So what do you all think it could be I guess it could be the right side engine mount as he said..... other than hitting the gas real hard while letting go of the steering wheel the car drives fine no vibrations,no real noticeable symptoms, was doing this before I had the new plugs installed as well,,, 2018 4 cyl with around 120k on it, thanks in advance

you probably have a broken wire in or near the left upper rubber boot on your hatchback. common problem on older journeys due to thin wires check out YouTube for more info or look Thur the forums section under the Electrical, Battery & Charging tab good luck and report back on what you find to be your problem....also checking at the light itself IF you are getting any juice with a meter

thanks for the response on your problem sorry you didn't get it fixed properly,just wondering why doesn't the new aftermarket remote open your doors, as I assume it should be able to, my son had an aftermarket put on his ford truck k yrs ago and it operates everything for him he can actually remote start his truck almost 2 blocks away at his work place, and also shows an led on it to show the truck has started up as well

yes I got the one without the red stripes, (all black) read the reviews and when you try to attach it you do have to get in the back seat to make it a lot easier and with some tugs and pulls it fits real tight and the only place you can tell its not OEM is right where the handle is to release the arm rest but it looks good I have had it on since last June and it still looks great

I would just have replaced the vinyl/leather with a short length of carpet or headliner in the insert

yes I do crack both sides windows a bit with rain guards on each side and I try to use a reflective sun shield in the windshield,,, as my 2001 dodge truck top dash the plastic started cracking into pieces real bad, a common trait for them, I bought one of the dash coverall from the internet and it fit just perfect, cost was around $200

2014 here parked outside in Al sun from day1.so far mine is staying here great condition I have always kept leather conditioner on the seats and door panels as well, only problem I have had was with the padded arm rest in the center it cracked right about where I always kept my elbow I ended up ordering a vinyl cover off amazon and didn't really think it would look to good but it had great reviews and I swear it almost looks like OEM cover and it just stretches over it as well for the install took less than 5 minutes for the install

seems like it would have been easier just to remove it so you could have got it done..Also I know it would cost extra but at 108 K miles in the rust belt area might have been a great time to replace the wheel bearing hubs as a precaution and for around $100 think i would have done that as well

seems like it would have been easier just to remove it so you could have got it done..

to be honest with most of the electronics these days OEM is the best way to go,yrs ago my dad was having a problem with his alt on his caravan and was on a trip and the mech used a carquest replacement alt and before hew got half way home it went out again and the next mech replaced thur carquest replacement under warranty so all he was out was the labor and by the time he got home it was going bad again, he had it towed to the dodge dealership and they fixed it with an OEM alt and no more problems as long as he owned it

well I am sure this would cause you the problems you have been talking about, just wondering did you buy the journey new?or did you buy it after the accident it was in?

a lot of people have said the aftermarket actuators don't last a long time so its best to go with OEM and if you have to install a new one some need to be recalibrated if not installed in the correct position...just a heads up

also you could try to disconnect and then reconnect the wire connector or tap on the actual actuator to unfree it if it's just stuck

as added protection on my temp controls on both sides I don't leave them turned all the way to hot or cold, as sometimes they seem to stick in that position, at least that has happened to my journey, so it seems to help doing this
