dodgeboykim Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 Just bought a 2010 Journey RT AWD And so far really like it. Has one small problem with the remote start when really cold. I can start it but it only runs for a moment then shuts off. Restart and it does the same thing. Seems I have to enter it and start normally. Run for a minute or so then shut off, Exit and lock doors then I can remote start and allow to warm up. Kind of annoying on a really cold day. Temp is hovering around -18 Celsius. Any one have an idea. DBK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Addicted to Dodge Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 Welcome to the Forum!! My 12' Journey will not allow a remote start if the fuel is low I have noticed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodgeboykim Posted December 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 (edited) Seems for me it is only affected by cold down near minus 18/20 Celsius. Today has warmed up to about minus 10 C and it started just fine and ran its warm up cycle and shut off. Restarted with remote and let it warm up some more. Fuel level is about 1/2 tank. Today it seems happy. Thanks for the Welcome to forum. Edited December 15, 2013 by dodgeboykim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

isamir2k Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 I had a 2002 Caravan with the same issue. One good mechanic told me to move the stering up or down , diffrent from the last position and it works. I did that each time when I stop the car and evrything was ok after that. You can try, hope will work for you too. Enjoy your Journey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
