Ok guys. You helped me out with my leased journey 2012 a few months ago after it overheated. Still overheats while idling after replacing the hose that busted. Over the passed few months I have been experiencing weird issues related to power. On cold days, the red lightning bolt would sometimes come on, then go away when driving. Now I have several issues. Sometimes the drivers windows won't roll down until I try it a few times. The brake lights were fluctuating on going out then coming back on (one side then the other). Now all 4 bulbs appear to be out. Also when I try and turn on the interior lights, they will work sometimes, but just like the driver window, it will take multiple tries to get them to work. The bluetooth no longer works at all. I see the button however it will not do anything once pressed. Is this a batter issue or a sign of a larger failure? I'm about at my wits end with this vehicle. I'm paying way over value because of poor credit. I am passed due on inspection and registration because I keep having these little failures. Any idea on what it could be?

Also the company I'm getting this from sold me the vehicle knowing there are 3 different recalls that have not been completed

Hey I really appreciate the reply and welcome gesture!! That makes me feel so much better. Buying this vehicle as a family vehicle at around double the value because of less than average credit. The company only gave me 30 days to have inspected and literally 3 months after starting payments this happened. It has been amazing up until then (Even though the bluetooth feature stopped working and it will randomly switch between radio stations. I have always driven trucks so it is a new experience. Just to clarify, even if the reservoir tank only has coolant to the Min line, I shouldn't have to add any more? There is very limited info on all of this stuff. I went to 2 different auto zones and a place called advanced auto parts. Then I tried o'reilys and noone even knew what the part was. I literally bought 2 t-hoses and tubing that weren't even similar to what I brought in because everyone was sure it was correct and would work

Hey guys. I'm new to all this car repair stuff. I was driving home one day and my car began to overheat and smoke less than a quarter mile from my home. I heard a loud pop and it instantly cooled off. Upon inspection I found the coolant reservoir cap had popped open and all the coolant in it had shot out. I let it cool down and then went to get some antifreeze/coolant and put it in. I noticed that as soon as I would pour it into the radiator it would leak out from underneath. I then realize the t-joint to the heater hose assemble was completely corroded and both hoses has broken off. Stupid me I kept filling it with distilled water or antifreeze to get to and from a few blocks away. I ordered the entire heater hose assembly that came with the metal piping and the lower t-joint and hoses. The tech at the dodge house told me I'd be ok in just replacing the hoses and t-joint that broke. I did that and now I have noticed my car literally warms up after 2 mins of driving. The dial stays in the middle but it scares me because the heater is warmer than I have felt since I started leasing the vehicle. Also the coolant goes from the max fill line to the min fill line withing 2 days. I have not seen any more leaks, but am terrified that there is further damage or I missed a step. The weird thing is that the coolant in the radiator has not gone down. Air conditioner works perfect as well now. As before it started fogging up the interior of the car. Also noticed I can leave the car off for over an hour and it will still be warm to an extent when I go to drive it. Any help would be appreciated.
