I would go around check all the ground connections that you can find.
I had issues with starting on my 2010 and adding a heavier gauge ground cable seems to have solved it.
I also own a Jeep Cherokee, 2001 not the newer version, and have had times when half the dash would go crazy similarly to your's, again cleaning and redoing the ground connections solved the issue.
It seems, at least to me and other Cherokee owners, that Dodge/Jeep ground and electrical cabling is an issue and to me under engineered.
The change in how my 2010 started was rather amazing after adding the additional ground.
Many items are controlled by the computers and if the signals aren't good they will tend to act up or in the case of starting not work properly. Digital stuff is looking for on or off and low voltage because of corrosion, loose, or under engineered cabling with a tiny bit of corrosion and cause the signal to look wrong.
The first advice one gets in the case of older Cherokees is to go through and check all your grounds, I am beginning to think the same advice can apply to the Journey.
Finding a cleaning and tightening grounds is a very inexpensive way to eliminate problems as well as, in my case, solving them.
