Mine clunks once, in the front, every morning when I back out of my garage. Outside temp is not a factor.

Hey guys,
I apologize, the 1000 miles was referring to the total trips back and forth that it took to fix my booster. Ill try to get a video of the light acting up. I noticed the SE loaner I had didn't have the same lights as the crossroad.

Lobitz,
Its my front passenger overhead pivoting led. Ive noticed the problem when I enter the car, or when grabbing something from it when the car is off. The light flickers intermittently. It never turns off, but it quickly goes softer and then back to normal.
This doesn't happen when the engine is on.
besides the booster (Just happened to be mine. none of the other I drove had the problem) and the small things.....this car is pretty sweet.

DJ,
I appreciate all of the insight! I'm happy to report that my problem has been solved after my second booster replacement and about 1000 miles put on the car going back and forth to the dealership.
That being said, I still thing this vehicle is so low under the radar.
Yeah.....I had a sh**** initial experience but I went through the trial and got t it fixed.
Not to sound like my nagging mom who always needs her light bulbs changed.... but my front passenger led light seems to flicker and pi** me off like the cheap cree led light I tried in my house..
Here comes another 1000 miles to the dealership.
At least I will have some power and the uconnect system.

I finally got down to my dealer after a busy start to the month to check out out the brake noise and spring feeling in my booster. After explaining that you can push the pedal with the car off to replicate my main concern within 30 minutes the service writer came back apologizing that they didn't catch it the first time. A new booster and rear brakes are on order to be replaced.
Previously I posted concerns and a quick video of what I was experiencing. However I do partially attribute the first diagnostic of "everything is ok" to me sending the vehicle down with an employee who probably didn't explain the problem properly.
Thank you for all the responses of people who commented on how their brakes feel. I was able to pump the brakes of 4 other journeys on the lot and none of them had the problem that mine had. (just my shitty luck I guess)
The service writer did however find it odd that the parts are back ordered with no eta, so I might not be the only one out there experiencing this problem. Again this is a new 2015 crossroad with only 300 miles before I noticed this.
I will keep everyone posted on the progress.
Bummed I'm going through it, but happy something is happening.

Does anyone have service manual for this vehicle?
I'm specifically looking for a diagram of the Power booster and or brake system for my 2015 journey. I've searched through old threads, googled, and looked at the mopar website, and can't seem to access what im looking for. I'm assuming the 2013-2015 information will be the same.
I was told by the dealer that the journey Power booster doesn't have a spring. As you know I've been getting a springlike feeling every time my pedal is pressed.
Just trying to locate what could be causing the problem before going back down to test drive with the technician..

Hello
Here is a quick back story of my 2015 crossroad purchase:
Test drove the vehicle brand new with no miles and my wife and I loved it. 300 miles in I had trouble with my brake booster sounding harsh and giving spring noise and feedback into the pedal. The noise and feeling can be felt with the vehicle on or off. I can feel the spring release in the booster, feel the spring vibrate the booster while someone is pushing the brake pedal as I hold the booster under the hood, and I can hear the loud spring noise within the car while driving the vehicle normally.
I have posted numerous threads about my findings and have had nothing resolved.
http://www.dodgejourneyforum.com/topic/7396-weird-brake-pedal/?hl=%2Bweird+%2Bbrake
Our dealer confirmed the problem and ordered and replaced the booster and rear brake pads.
Upon all of the fixes the car pedal once again felt good and there is no longer a chirp upon braking. I did notice a bit of grittiness in the pedal action but it was much better than before.
After a week of driving, The chirp from the brake pads is non existent but the spring release and vibration has returned full force.
I tested 4 other new journeys on the lot and none of them felt this way.
My wife knows nothing about cars and she drove it today and even noticed how annoying it was.... I'm starting to wish that I purchased a grand Cherokee or no Chrysler at all.... I hope someone out there is having the same problem as I am. Ive also driven my friends 2014 Crossroad and the petal is as smooth as it could be. Help! Ill try another dealer soon but if I cant get this solved I may be on to another vehicle. Its sad....because its the only thing that is wrong with the car....I absolutely love the journey but I cant accept this with a brand new vehicle that had 0 miles on it. I still have transfer plastic attached under the door handles!
Again, the booster was replaced and the same thing has happened within a few hundred miles.

Hello again,
I've seen some review videos that show the all window controls backlit at night (minus the mirror controls) mine are completely dark. Front driver, front passenger, and rear window controls. Not sure if this is model specific. We have a v6 2015 crossroad with 8 inch uconnect and reverse camera. If anyone can weigh in it would be greatly appreciated
Thanks

Lol. My wife wants one as much as I do. Actually, I have to talk her out of it. I'm starting to think I need to give up my man card...I need my pants back dammit!!

Charger instead? Looks just as good and has four doors. Cant wait for my wifes small car to die...well not really but you know where im going with this.

Welcome aboard to this awesome place!!!! qué tal

Dhh3,
Besides those weird noises, I finally had someone else look at it with me today.
He would completely press the brake with the vehicle off as I was touching the brake booster. The assembly itself moved upward more that I would have thought and there was a slight spring like release and sharp vibration within the Booster as I held it. Obviously this is what I have been feeling in the pedal. Ill keep everyone posted in a few weeks when i head down for my appointment.
I'm assuming there is a spring within the booster itself even though the dealer told me there isn't. I find this hard to believe because every breakdown of the booster itself shows a spring within the casting.

Indeed,
Would look so much better without Gold distraction right in the middle. Once reason I love the black out grill on the black crossroad.
Dhh3,
I'm coming to terms with the boxy look.... My dog looks at me like "WTF" from the conversation mirror (no I don't use that) when I have all the seats flat because he cant stand all the way up.
Just don't want a mini van.........yet.....

You forgot the $1,500 back brace and the $4,995 bone stimulator. Other than that, you pretty much nailed it. I am being referred to as "Robo Cop"
The blacked out tail lamps are kind of cool on my Crossroad. When it is parked in the garage, all I see are the small round reflectors in the center of each lamp!

Here is the booster description:
The power brake booster is mounted to the engine side of the dash panel. The master cylinder is bolted to the front of the booster. A vacuum check valve is also mounted on the front of the booster. A vacuum line connects the check valve to engine source vacuum. The booster input rod extends through the dash panel and connects to the brake pedal. This vehicle uses a tandem diaphragm, single rate vacuum power brake booster with 203 and 229 mm (8 and 9 in.) diaphragms. Power brake boosters are internally tuned differently depending on whether the vehicle is equipped with ABS or without ABS.
Attached file shows the main parts of the booster, 2nd file includes some diagnostics that you can try.

The pedal in my car is normal after they put a booster in it.

Mine does not do this at all. Has not done it since day one! The only concern I had with mine was that after I started it in the morning, the brake pedal would go to the floor with no resistance. Once it ran for a minute or so, it was fine. Just had to build up vacuum. Never took it in. The Forum solved the problem for me. I would take it in for a second opinion. Something is not right.

Dj,
The dealer told me I was feeling the power booster activate. Shouldn't this feel smooth? It feels just as you described. Its a spring sound when the pedal gets pressed in half way. Its driving me crazy.

You could use Acetone, but make sure you are outside. You will get high as a kite from the fumes: you will completely forget what you are even doing!

Scheduled another appointment. I will go down with the vehicle next time. If it's not resolved I will try another local dealer.
