2016 Dodge Journey Crossroad 2.4L 140,000 miles PLEASE HELP After going through the car wash, my battery light came on. Then my powersteering pump was whining, my brake pedal got rock hard and a few moments later the car shut off and would not restart or crank. When trying to start it, my check engine light came on and it says to service park assist. No crank, no start… won’t even click. After hours of troubleshooting, we’ve found the car has a bad ground somewhere. So there’s problem number one to resolve. But we have it temporarily grounded. We have jumper cables from the negative battery terminal to the engine block (gives us ground). That allowed it to at least click when trying to start it. Then we tested the starter. We took the ignition wire off and made our own jumper wire and used a power probe to give it voltage. Now, the engine cranks… but still no start. No codes have returned and it will just crank over with the jumper wire and power probe. ANY ideas?! We’re desperate at this point.

We have a 2011 Dodge Journey Mainstreet 3.6. I had no heat and was overheating within 10 minutes of starting the car. We replaced the heater core, cooling fan resistor, thermostat, coolant reservoir cap and then finally... we replaced the radiator and all was well!!!! Now due to the overheating, we have to replace the oil cooler and the oil pressure sensor. I am guessing it is your radiator with the overheating and the heater core for the no heat issue! I also think replacing the thermostat helped us a ton also. What made us replace the heater core was because it was leaking coolant onto the driver side floor board. Don't let it keep overheating, it caused us a slew of other issues! Hence why we are now replacing the oil pressure senor and the oil cooler.

We had a terrible time with the cooling system on our 2011 Dodge Journey Mainstreet 3.6. We could not stop ours from overheating to save our behinds. We replaced the heater core, thermostat, the cooling fan resistor and the coolant reservoir cap... NOTHING! Finally replaced the radiator and solved the issue. About two weeks after that, check engine light came on and we were in limp mode. GREAT! Leaking oil due to the oil cooler being cracked because it was overheating so much and so bad before we got that issue fixed. NOW the oil pressure says 96PSI ALL OF THE TIME! So now we have to replace the oil cooler and the oil pressure senor and hopefully solve that issue. I swear these Journey's are all lemons, I could cry.

We bought the car from a buy here pay here and are past the "warranty" that we paid for. We have had nothing but issues from our Journey, it has been a total lemon...

I should also add that my boyfriend is a mechanic and works as a Manager of a Tire Choice here in Ohio and does all the work so we only pay for the parts and he does all the labor in the shop. We have saved a ton that way so I am BEYOND blessed to have him.

So sorry for the late response, I guess I did not have my notifications on! (Of course...) Since my post, we had to replace the alternator (yesterday) due to losing all power and shutting down while driving 55MPH down the road Sunday on our way to lunch. That was fun... We were told that it is in "limp mode" due to lack of oil and that the car does this to prevent it from blowing the engine. The check engine light is still on and showing the same code ( P06DD). It is leaking oil constantly due to the oil cooler being cracked from overheating so I keep a jug of oil in the back at all times because I never know when I will be too low on oil. The overheating issue was resolved with a new radiator and coolant reservoir cap after MUCH trial and error. Before we replaced those, we replaced the heater core (was leaking into the driver side floorboard which ruined the airbag below, so that was removed and now the airbag dashlight is on 24/7... any suggestions?), the cooling fan resistor and thermostat. Our 2011 Journey Mainstreet (3.6) has been running great besides running in "limp mode" occasionally. Now we have noticed that the oil pressure stays at 96PSI no matter what. Oil, transmission and coolant temperatures are all within normal range. It does not go lower or any higher than 96PSI, it stays there 24/7. We are hoping that the new oil cooler and oil pressure sensor will finally solve all of these issues we have been having. Any suggestions before we replace these two parts and any suggestions on what to do about the driver side airbag? We had to take it out due to the wires being covered in coolant and basically fried (didn't want it to explode randomly while driving...). So now the airbag dash light is on 24/7. I am so darn sick of this Journey... we bought it from a buy here pay here because we THOUGHT it was a great deal. Overpaid, we are past the "warranty" with 156,600 miles on it. We are at a loss and wanting to get it fixed so we can trade it in and take the hit on the negative equity we will have since we paid 10,000 for a vehichle that only KBB's for 3,500 in perfect condition. AND not to mention, supposedly there is a recall on the steering column wiring. I am over this Journey and can not wait for it to NOT be ours anymore. It is a lemon...

Hello! I have a 2011 Dodge Journey Mainstreet. I am unsure of what the code is as it has not been scanned yet but my check engine light is on and I my oil pressure shows 96 PSI. It does not go past 96PSI or below, it just stays at 96PSI all of the time. My oil, transmission and coolant temperatures are all within normal range. What could this be? I also have a leak from the oil cooler that is going to be replaced in the coming two weeks. We just replaced the heater core, thermostat, radiator, fan resistor, coolant reservoir cap and alternator over the last two months. I think the oil cooler was cracked from overheating before we fixed that issue. Last Sunday we were driving at 55MPH and the entire car lost power and shut down, got the alternator replaced and all is well. So now, our next project is the oil cooler and this oil pressure issue. Could the oil pressure be showing 96PSI and not really be that high due to the sensor being bad? Hopefully this is a cheap fix, our Journey is a 2011 and has 156,600 miles on it... I am so tired of dumping money into it.

So... I have had the worst time ever with my 2011 Dodge Journey Mainstreet. After almost THREE months of trying to figure out why it wouldn't stop boiling over, we FINALLY got it figured out. Now we have yet another issue. I woke up this morning for work and remote started my car. When I walked out, the car was off. I got into the car and started it. Within five minutes of driving down the road, the check engine light comes on. I look down and realize I am driving 58MPH with my RPM's at 2000-2500. I pulled over, turned off the car, turned it on and started driving again. It did it again. I put the gas pedal to the floor, it slowing was speeding up but the RPM's were not moving. So I then put the car in neutral and back into drive, RPM's still didn't move. I put the car down into the "manual" mode, shifted up to "6", put it back in drive and it drove fine. On my way home, once I got into "4" I hit the gas... NOTHING. So, I shifted it myself again. Oil PSI at a rest 20-30. While driving 50-60. I have no idea what could be causing this. P06DD was the code when it was scanned (I believe). What could this be? I am going to start with an oil change this week and then go from there. Should I buy an oil pressure sensor and replace that? I am stuck on this one.
