I took the Journey into another dealer, they kept it over the past weekend. Warranty covered everything including a 19 300s.
For some reason the battery while low caused the engine light to stay on & when the mechanic looked over the codes he found 30 of them.
They had not seen that before but after checking/testing everything & finding all working as normal that was that. Drove it around today, likely put 50 miles on it & no engine light.
I did buy a code scanner which I plan on keeping in the glovebox, just in case.

Thanks, appreciate the link! Will buy them off ebay.
 

evening rolly, no we bought it last October and purchased the gold plus warranty from the local dodge dealer. I do have the print outs from the dealer showing all work done on it from the previous owner, the older lady that was the original owner was local & rarely drove it in winter according to the service records but she did have it rust checked so the body & underside are very clean.
 

I'll check back in the morning, appreciate any ideas offered. Thanks rolly

Went swimming (ocean not pool) key fob dropped in salt water. Dried it in sun, worked to open doors & started Journey no problems. Later after starting the journey a few times going from place to place the vehicle lost all power while driving around town. No warnings or sounds etc, engine lost all power, instrument cluster went black, no power steering/brakes..was able to pull off the best I could. Vehicle started right up on first attempt right after.
Took fob apart & no water although the actual key that pulls out of the fob was a little damp.
May be a dumb question but would this cause the journey to completely shut down while driving? Has 33,000 miles on it & well maintained, never happened before.

Thanks for the greetings folks, one of the first things I did was to have it Rust Checked & coat & protect on the underside, wheel wells etc.
I didn't mention the previous owners were seniors who rarely drove it during winters, although they did have it rust checked the first two years. So the body is good & underside is very clean.
I had the dealer put on new all-season tires after I noticed the original Kumo tires didn't have much tread left & it came with 4 winter tires barely used.
Had the plugs changed, coolant changed, transmission fluid/filter as well.
We asked the dealer for the service records & all seems fine. We did get the Chrysler service contract as I had read about some complaints owners have with Journeys.
Thanks again

We needed a second vehicle & looked over some other Journeys, some newer (2011/12 models) but we didn't like the newer dash & found a 2010 SXT 6cyl with 24,000 miles on it. Have had it a couple of weeks now & like it. Nice ride, I expected more of a truck feel but it's smooth for what it is.
