2009 Journey 2.4 ALTERNATOR OVERHEATING
Dusty256 replied to Dennis's topic in Electrical, Battery & Charging
you need to find a clamp on amp meter and see how current you drawing .. something is drawing a lot of current . running the wire to the jumper block might be bypassing something .. have you checked the sense wire out , it might not be connected -

2009 Journey battery keeps dying

what brand battery -
I thought the 2.4 was a overhead cam . engine. Mine started making this noise on cold mornings after I changed brands of oil . I went with Pensoil this time but going back to Quaker state as it was quite with that oil .

Power Windows Not Working
Dusty256 replied to Stephsteph82's topic in Electrical, Battery & Charging
ground issue , recall done for the wiring issues in the doors ? inwould suspect a ground issue or bad connection to the battery -
you might want to check the BAS system .. it's the stability control. my 2009 did that a year and a half ago . after replacing the front brake the left side still got warm. i ended up disconnection the battery for ten minutes and then pushing the brake pedal to drain any remaining stored battery voltage. after replacing the battery start the car and before moving turn the stearing lock to lock returning to center. make sure the car is on a level surface.

knocking sound from back side 2016 dodge journey
Dusty256 replied to d1ulove's topic in Brake, Chassis & Suspension
could be anything . brake grabbing or even a bad bearing.. like others have said it's a new car under warranty so visit the dealer -
mine shifts smooth up but has always had the hard downshift from 2. to 1 when stopping lightly. that new of a car i would push the issue while under warranty .

Rubbing/Grinding from front right in Left Turns Only
Dusty256 replied to Scrram's topic in Brake, Chassis & Suspension
sounds like you need to change the front hubs , if the passenger side is going the drivers side should be changed too.. left hand turns puts more preasure on that hub. if it was making noise on right hand turns then suspect the drivers side hub the squeak is from the sway bar bushings which is is very easy to fix and cheap. best way is to raise the car up on jacks and jack stands and push pull pry etc to see what's loose. ball joints , sway bar end links etc but the growling i bet is your front hub bearings getting worn ... it's not a hard job to your self either , find a trusted shop (non dealer) ... but bottom line is your front hub is bad... -
that's crazy , i did the breaks on my 2009 18 months and 20,000 miles ago and they are still in great shape.. wagner pads and rotors on all four corners and go to go

Your journey is not charging the. .battery most likely the alternator is bad .. easy to check by by stopping at parts store near you have them test it . one note, if you replace the alternator be sure to fully charge the with a battery charger first as it will be easier on the new alternator

normal , working as intended

have it put on a rack and checked out . also there are a few videos on you tube explaining various ways to check for noise.. sway bar bushings are common but could anything from brakes , struts or control arm bushings dry rotted sway bar bushings and links will make noise . good luck and post what you find . look at eric the car car guys videos he has a lot of helpful videos and even though they are not about the journey they can point you to the problem for what it's worth my 2009 journey has 140,000 miles and makes no noise.

it's a very dependable engine. not a ton of power but properly maintain it will last a long time.. sounds like a neglected engine with no oil changes or pushing harder than it was meant to ...

i always go new with the rotors , they are cheap enough . did the front with new pads and rotors , both wagner for 150.00 . about to do the rears this week and will do they same. i dont consider brakes , struts and tire's anything more than consumables. i have had great luck with my 2009 beside oil and plugs the only other thing i have had done where all four struts and the brakes .. i am am very happy with mine

there are lots of good quality rotors on rockauto . wagnger rotors and their ceramic pads are pretty darn good . it's what i am running and have no problems
