Not me. Welcome to the forum.

Tough to diagnose if you can't duplicate it. Good luck!

Always a good idea to disconnect the battery when working with wiring.

lol...the smell of frying electronics is a good sign you did indeed burn something up.....

Seriously? Your dealer can't find a part number for a license plate bracket? That's insane......do they know how to use google? https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2380057.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.Xdodge+journey+license+plate+bracket.TRS0&_nkw=dodge+journey+license+plate+bracket&_sacat=0

You can buy the bracket off eBay or get one at the dealer. Or like stated, just drill two holes and screw it in.

Great report!

Jeeze....thanks to Nate, it's been in the mid 80's all week with like 90% humidity....feels like july all over....

Make an appt. with the dealer to have it checked out.

I did not "put the car down". I simply concurred with everyone that buying a used vehicle, any used vehicle, with high mileage is a crap shoot. I had an 09. Loved it. The main reason why we got another one. I don't see anything Fred or anyone else said that could be construed as "putting the car down". Only stating the obvious that the 09's had their share of issues from the get go. That can be expected for any new model.

Winter? In Alabama???

People who buy an 8 year old car with 100,000+ miles and then complain Dodge sucks. People who complain their navigation can't be unlocked or is out of date. People who complain their backup camera is "grainy" at night. I could go on.....first world problems....

Are you starting to hate dodge because you think you have to pay for map updates??? Lamest excuse yet for hating dodge...

amazon, ebay, typical aftermarket parts online retailers.

Pick one code at a time and start troubleshooting. Get that one fixed and move to the next.

17" steelies and blizzaks..

Update

These guys have summed it up quite nicely. Be consumer smart. Do your homework before buying any used car. Hopefully you got a warranty. If not, like any used vehicle, buyer beware.

The Journey is not that "big of a car" by US standards. May be different in your country. "Big" here would be of the Expedition/Suburban/Armada type....full size true SUV's.

What he said. ^^ I have stainless ones as well.

Can't tell you anything until you get the code read and post it here. The vehicle is literally telling you what's wrong.

Mine has been doing it for 4 years and 70k miles. I deal with it.
