Couple of weeks ago we had that, dash lights flicker Journey wouldn't start.Charged the battery fixed it and I tookk all the grounds off the strut tower and cleaned them up.No problems since so yes this is a great suggestion to try.

Again, behind the glovebox remove the cabin filter.That actuator is the one that does the fresh air or recirculate function.The fact that cracking the windows open helps means that it is stuck in recirculate mode.You can remove the power from that actuator and with your hand flip the vent to the fresh air position.That will solve that problem.Reinstall the cabin filter .I never use recirculate anyway but I did replace the actuator.Sometimes that is not even necessary as the old actuators will start to work again.

That post was from 2015 don't expect a reply from them.

Agree, many thanks for the uploads!

So what did the dealer say when they did what they said was needed to fix the problem and it didn't?

The once and only time my 2013 did this it was a bad alternator.

Pretty sure all 3 actuators are the same.

If you read 14.7 v at the battery when the vehicle is at idle , that is charging the battery.Normal. Define what drains battery when not in use.Days? Overnight?

Pain to take a pic close enough to get the whole thing in but if anyone needs a scan let me know

Not a recall but I did receive a letter from FCA a while back that extended the active head restraint warranty to 10 years and it covers quite a few different vehicles including the 2012-2018 Journey.I will attach the notice later.

That sounds like quite a story the csr person is telling you.I'm sure the same bt modules are used by multiple vehicles.I was amazed when my wife changed from an iphone (not sure which model) to a Samsung budget galaxy phone. The Samsung can actually read text messages through uconnect while the iphone never could.I was very surprised by the less functional iphone integration

You lost me when you said these battery chargers/ boosters were putting out ac voltage. How is that possible? There must be some rectifiers in them to output dc voltage. And they should be bridge rectifiers. So how are they outputting ac voltage?

Awesome hope that solves your problems and maybe somebody else!

Doesn't the recirculate only work in certain modes? I think I have seen that behaviour before with the button flashing.

You can easily disconnect the connector from the recirculate actuator and manually put it in the fresh in position. The fact you crack the windows and let fresh air in is telling you it's the recirculate actuator. You can watch it work if you have the car running and remove the cabin filter and watch to see if the door moves. My guess is it's not.

You may just want to actually post the code that's coming up.

Nope the passenger storage seat was on heated seats as well.

No plastic guard I bought a reman from Parts Source and had my mechanic install it

You got a lot more life out of yours then my wifes did. We got 4 years and only had 48000 km on it when it went

Mine works fine when it's not dirty

Wouldn't the tranmission in a 2.4 also be different? I assume the 3.5 has a 6 speed?

I will say, there seem to me to be alot more Journeys in Canada then I have seen on the roads when I'm in the US

You're reading a forum where alot of people come looking for help.Not everyone has all these problems.Mine a 2013 has had an alternator replaced and at 80K Km I am about to do the brakes.I also had a recirculate actuator go to sleep on me but hasn't acted up since. So you listed or cherry picked the forum.What exactly has gone wrong with yours? And just a note, last time I drove by a Toyota. Honda,GM (add all others here) they all have service departments.

You can rough it and not have the radio work, easier than ripping apart the wiring to test.Take a bluetooth speaker for a while.
