We had a 2004 Malibu that had a chronic water leak into the trunk area. After the local dealer failed to repair it. We used a garden hose to find the cause. Turned out to be a seam wasn't sealed. Silicone sealer fixed it.

It's located between the muffler and the spare tire. On the plastic part.

That is the shield riveted to the plastic part that surrounds the spare tire. I reattached mine with black zip ties. It falls off after the  steel rivets rust away.

Time to have a professional mechanic diagnose this, probably better than just throwing parts at it.

I installed Pioneer Ts-a6966r 6 x 9 speakers into the front doors of my 2013 without any problems. Also upgraded the dash speakers wih1" power acoustik tweeters. I was looking for a way to mount them so I used a hot glue gun to glue them to the top of the old speaker.  Huge difference in sound now.

Could be as simple as a loose gas cap.

I found out the hard way that the 2.4l is very fussy on spark plugs. Put in the factory recommended plugs, check the bottom of the coils for carbon tracking in the rubber boots.

My 2013 used to do that and also when doing a quick stop and go at stop signs. It went away when I put the new factory old school copper core spark plugs in.

Have your own mechanic trouble shoot and pinpoint the cause. Then go back to  the seller and either have them fix or pay.  The Journey is known to have some suspension noises.

I had a problem with a 2.2l in my old Dodge shadow it would break the starter drive  occasionally.  It drove me crazy trying to figure out why.  My answer came when the flex plate finally broke. Do you have any noises or other symptoms?  maybe debris in the ring gear teeth?

I found  that the signal is blocked  if my phone is next to my fob in my pocket. As soon as I take the fob from my pocket everything works ok.

I tried upgrading to iridium in my 2.4l.  It caused a hesetation and stumble problem when doing quick stop and go's  . The engine runs best with the stock plugs.

My 2013 had a rattle that was difficult to pinpoint. My wife noticed it was loudest when she put her ear on the arm rest and listened in the Storage bin. It turned out to be the heat shield under the center of the floor. I put fender washers under the retainer nuts and the problem is gone.

Yellow  so you will see the tripping hazard that that obviously is.
