Chacha Posted February 11, 2020 Report Share Posted February 11, 2020 I have a 2012 Dodge Journey. The speedometer just starts to go crazy, and the ABS, BRAKE, and Traction control light comes on and off. It has been happening for about 2 months and started to get worse. The headlights dim and radio screen will turn off and on. Sometimes the radio will say audio off. About three days ago the car wouldnt start. We jumped it and it started. We got a new battery put in. It is still doing it but hasn't messed with the radio yet. We changed the alternator about a year a go. We do have an engine light on and have been told it's for a vvt valve sensor. Does anyone have a clue as to what could be causing this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhareFred Posted February 11, 2020 Report Share Posted February 11, 2020 I’d start by having the alternator tested even though it’s only a year old. Did you get the correct size battery? If you are having electrical issues you need to fix that, then see if you still get a mil light. Electronics in new cars are very likely to do bizarre things if the Voltage is off.... 2late4u and NavalLacrosse 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We understand you are reaching out to fellow forum members, however if you are not able to remedy this concern with the advice provided here, I kindly recommend connecting with your local Dodge dealer.
