it kills me when posters ask for help, with no info yr ,miles or any other important info

they do have a learning period on the transmission,did it do this before you changed the filter and fluid?did it do this before you bought it.i have a 2014 and it shifts smooth. some posters do complain about this happening to them .they have never replied back what they found out so if you do resolve your problem please report back.good luck and welcome to the group

dealership would have the correct size on the donut spare tire,since you will be spending money on it might as well get the correct one,why not check out your local junk/scrap yards for one out of a current journey would be a lot cheaper there ,,,good luck

first off which eng do you have, i did my trans servicea the dealership at around 70 k and it wasn't due till around 120 k if i remember right, also at 93 k i just had the coolant service and plugs done at the dealership as well and will redo the trans at around 140 k ,,,,on the 3.6 i dont think there is any 60 k service requirements most doesn't start till 100 k for plugs............. a lot of dealership will push most unnecessary services to early so they can make $$$$$ just check yor manual or download one off the internet for free and it will show what is required and when it is do.

dont really know i dont have awd just fwd.

seems like it should turn, might be real hard to do by hand,what were you using to turn it? try a pipe wrench or if it is still connected all the way back jack the rear end up and try turning the wheels might work

as it happens that a lot of times simple things can be missed and expensive parts end up getting replaced before they find the real problem.glad you responded and gave your fix

as the above post ,were both heater hose hot after running the heater that long if only one was hot id say you have a blocked heater core as it isnt letting the hot water to pas thur the heater core,you might want to do a reverse heater core flush since your journey is a 2013

welcome to the group, mine is silver as well

did you try what he suggested?if you have trapped air in the system you will have problems

well wife and her sister going out to eat and her sister driving our journey due to my broken knee cap and they pull to the front of the restaurant and wife goes to get out and was reaching back in for her cane and a really old (90) man backs into the front left corner of our bumper so they all exchange info,and i run it down to the local body shop about a 2 inch crack going thur the lower facial just above the black trim along side of the fog light and then about 2 inches above the crack the plastic is kind of wrinkled a tiny bit, wife says well that wont be to high to fix will it,i just laughed ,body shop quote $989.20....look out State Farm here comes the claim since it wasn't our fault..................................................................................................................................2014 DODG Journey Crossroad FWD 4D UTV 6-3.6L Flex Fuel Sequential MPI Line Oper Description Part Number Qty Extended Price $ Labor Paint 1 FRONT BUMPER 2 O/H front bumper 2.6 3 Repl Bumper cover w/o lmp washer 5QZ97TZZAC 1 334.00 Incl. 2.8 4 Add for Clear Coat 1.1 5 # Subl Hazardous waste removal 1 4.00 X 6 # Rpr Color sand and buff 1.5 SUBTOTALS 338.00 2.6 5.4 ESTIMATE TOTALS Category Basis Rate Cost $ Parts 334.00 Body Labor 2.6 hrs @ $ 52.00 /hr 135.20 Paint Labor 5.4 hrs @ $ 52.00 /hr 280.80 Paint Supplies 5.4 hrs @ $ 38.00 /hr 205.20 Miscellaneous 4.00 Subtotal 959.20 Sales Tax $ 334.00 @ 9.0000 % 30.06 Grand Total 989.26 Deductible 0.00 CUSTOMER PAY 0.00 INSURANCE PAY 989.26

the need for speed is to late after you buy the 2.4 but at least the plugs are easy to change use the oem copper plugs as well if your not sure when they were last changed then i would replace them as they are good for 30 k.per the manual, might want to have the trans serviced as well book says 120 k but i had mine done at around 70 k just makes sense to do it early as well

summer solstice i was raised in Clarkston Mi Great small town to grow up in...till i moved to AL in 1974

your local dealership would be your best bet for answers,or even read your car manual if you dont have one down load it off the internet for free.1500 lbs you should be okay, unless you over load it with camping equipment and extras like heavy accessories you shouldn't need an extra oil cooler. as well as you shouldn't need a electric brake controller but i guess that would depend on how you drive or what kind of driving you are doing lots of mountains or a lot of flat roads ..just remeber Journeys are not the best to haul heavy loads with just use common sense and you should be okay

how did you determine which wheel it was, mine went bad no codes from it and i dint have a code reader that would read it cost me $58. at the dealership for the part and their labor. guess you replaced the wrong one i would say

sure do it,what can go wrong other than ruin your transmission

third party warranties usually are not the best, kind of like HMO always trying to deny your coverage

never thought he might have reversed that,good question Jkeaton

so many parts replaced due to bad connectors and frayed wires as well.yrs ago my daughter had problems with her caravan rubbing real bad one minuet then okay the next after a bunch of coils replaced it was found to be a bad connector that would work okay for a while then vibrate or short out and then work again till it went bad again and then short out the coil again but it was the wire ans connector that connected to the coil that was bad,we were just lucky the mechanic had bought a lifetime warranty on all his parts as he replaced that coil about 3 times before he seen the plastic connector looking deformed on the inside of the connector

in the U.S. when changing the battery in our key fobs do NOT need reprogramming, i have heard about local key shops that can reprogram the key fobs to work with the journeys when one has been lost. hard to believe you would have to have it reprogrammed just due to replacing a battery in your key fob ,,,good luck on your problem

i guess a fuse box could go bad from vibration or real bad corrosion or some other fault but highly unlikely,there was one poster that said he removed the fuse box under the hood and said it was corroded up real bad where it made contact to the base of it,that does make sense if your are in such a place wear there is a lot of salt or corrosive conditions, might be worth a try to remove it and clean everything up and make sure all the connections are clean and tight.

no mention on where you live so we probally cant help,all i can advise is junk yards or part places on line and at the end dodge dealership.good luck

seen this post on Facebook the poster said he was having all kinds of problems with journey not starting said it ended up being a starter relay for what it is worth thought i would post it here...........So for a update the starter /12v multipurpose relay was my route cause to all of my intermediate starting issues. Got my new relay last night and it fired right up 1st try this morning. So glad to have this issue that has costed me over $600 to find then fix with a $40 relay with a lifetime warranty on it.
