  1. you probably need to replace the thermostat for the overheating problem easy change there. also if its overheating while idling make sure to notice if your rad fan is turning on and off as it should,and use new coolant as well...the rest ill pass on as have no clue for all the different electrical problems...good luck
  2. first where did you buy the actuators from, i would use a OEM from mopar for the next change yes more expensive but usually better quality than from parts stores and internet...https://www.moparpartsoverstock.com/ never have bought from them ..just a thought also if bought from dodge and installed should come with a 1 yr warranty as well
  3. no update from the org poster, to bad as then no help for other people with the same problem, when you figure it out pleas re-post here for others ....good luck
  4. please report back after the repair and also later on to say weather this fixed your problem ,also which computer for others that might have this problem..good luck
  5. we had someone on here having problems with his u connect as well and he had bought it from Zoom if i remember right, and he was able to get a different car if i remember correctly
  6. is the radiator fan working? that might be your problem if you are only over heating when you are hitting it hard, you might want to have it looked at by a garage or radiator shop before you over heat the engine and ruin it..
  7. probally a plugged heater core or as above very low antifreeze coolant
  8. to each his own..................here is a google answer................. Do larger tires get better gas mileage? The short answer is, no. Though, the real answer is a bit more complicated than a simple yes or no answer. The truth is that in many instances larger tires will not increase a vehicle’s fuel efficiency; however, there are many aspects of tires that can contribute a vehicle’s gas mileage apart from the tire’s size. One of the reasons that larger tires will not lead to an increase in a car’s gas mileage is because they are heavier than smaller tires – every extra pound will, in essence, decrease a vehicle’s fuel efficiency. Larger tires will not increase a vehicle’s fuel economy because larger tires generally have a high rolling resistance, which refers to the amount of force required to move a tire from a resting position. And the wider the tire the higher the rolling resistance is and the harder the engine has to work to move the tire, thus decreasing the car’s fuel efficiency. In reality, you really shouldn’t worry though about decreased fuel economy if you have or are planning to outfit your vehicle with larger tires. In most cases, the drop in fuel efficiency that someone might experience by outfitting their vehicle with larger tires is usually too small for the average person to notice. In April 2010, Car and Driver conducted a thorough test on a new Volkswagen Golf 2.5 to see how much of an impact larger tires had on the vehicle’s fuel efficiency. The Volkswagen Golf 2.5, which has a factory tire size of 15 x 6.0 inches was tested with tires as large as 19 x8.5 inches in the Car and Driver test. With the standard 15 x 6.0 in tires the Volkswagen Golf 2.5 was rated with a fuel economy of 23.3 miles per gallon (MPG) in the Car and Driver test. When the Volkswagen was equipped with 19 x 8.5 inch tires the fuel economy dropped to only 21.1 MPG – that’s less than a 10% decrease in fuel economy.
  9. mine is great you probally have an after market or possibly a bad or loose connection,go by your local dealership and take a journey for a test drive to see how it should look
  10. not true....it will throw off how fast you are really traveling. my journey came with 225 55 19 tires and i use 235 55 19 so when my journey says i am going 70 mph my Garmin will show me traveling 71 mph due to the tire size difference and also i would assume throw off my mpg that the journey says i am getting as the OEM tires would turn 702 revs/mile while the bigger size would turn 692 revs/mile,,,,,,,,,,,,, How a Change in Tire Size Affects Speedometer Accuracy When you change out your tires and wheels for a larger wheel, you always want to respect the overall diameter (OD) of the original tire. A lower profile tire must be placed on a larger wheel to keep the OD close to the same as the tire/wheel combination being replaced. You certainly never more than a 5% difference in OD to the original tire. Too large a variation could impact the gearing and correct operation of the vehicle. Also, any change in the tire OD will give you a false reading of speed and distance on your odometer. When your vehicle was new, the speedometer was calibrated by the factory according to the exact size of the intended tires. If you change to a taller tire, the circumference of the tire will also be greater. What this means is one rotation of the tire will take you further on your new tires than on your old tires. If the speedometer was never re-calibrated with the new tires, it will register a slower speed than you are travelling. For example, if your tire was 3% taller (still within approved guidelines for plus fitments) the gearing and operation of the vehicle would be fine, however your speedometer would show 60 mph, when in fact you are traveling 63.3 mph.
  11. lkq of course in the U.S. 113 k miles, lots of them to pick from also dodge caravan engines can also be used prices seem to range from $784 -1200 2013 Dodge Journey Used Engine Assembly, ~242872810 Price: $993.10
  12. transmission service,coolant replacement,
  13. well at least they cant say they didnt see it happen,,,,
  14. a bad tire can cause a bumpy ride but it usually doesn't go away after it warms up , re-balance and move the front tires to the rears to see if that helps also remember which front tire you put on which side, might could be a tire problem i had one when it was new and that was the only way i found it balancing didnt fix it they finally replaced it. and usually a bad or warped rotor you will feel in your brake pedal but also you sometimes can feel it in the steering wheel.
  15. depends on what engine and trans you have ???? you didnt state what you have............... also your biggest mistake was going to jiffy lube
  16. 2013 year you could go with a used engine if need be.
  17. i assume you are talking about the cabin air filter as the only other filter is the engine air filter...easy to change look on you tube for journey cabin filter change right behind the glove box takes about 3 minutes to change out, check around for a replacement some of them are real expensive,you might find one for around $10, i bought a k-n cabin reusable air filter just pull it out and wash it out and then let it dry for a bit and then spray some disinfectant Lysol on it as well ..... i clean mine every oil change as well
  18. you bought electronics not suitable for your year journey? WHY? and yes i would assume you are sol unless you can find some one to sell it to....to be honest something like that i wouldn't buy anything used unless it was from a friend and i KNEW it was in good shape and working.....sorry about your problem but good luck on re selling it.
  19. i watched a u tube on cleaning them as well, great that it worked for you and would be a great idea to do before replacing with new ones
  20. plenty of videos on u tube for checking motor mounts , get some one to watch the engine and put it in gear, foot hard on the brake and give it a bit of gas the engine should move some but not a whole lot, might also be a transmission mount as well,,,also check your wheel bearings by lifting and put on jacks and then spin and manually rock the tires to see if any thing wrong there. good luck and report back what you find
  21. just like any company they can charged different amounts on any product that they want. just contact them and see if they want to beat the other companies price, best way to do it..When i bought mine i bought from Zeigler as they were the cheapest at that time but things always change....also if you have to have a repair thur a dodge dealership prices can vary from dealerships to dealerships on parts and labor....
  22. remember some one had posted he bought a journey from car-max i believe and they kept bouncing him back and forth between them and Chrysler on a repair problem, i personally wouldn't buy a third party warranty, of course the warranty i bought on my 2014 was the first one i have ever bought on a vehicle in my life, so far i have had to use it one time so far and it saved me about $400. with the add $100 ded i had to pay plus paid for a car rental bill while being repaired.,,,, i paid around $ 2200. for it when i bought it.
  23. would only buy a warranty if you plan on keeping it a long time, if just a few years might not be worth it kind of like gambling
