Also looking for helpful insight. Thanks

I’m well aware of the used car process. I’ve owned several. This particular issue in case you missed it has to do with a repeat issue. Also the fact that since I’ve posted Just a couple of hours ago now it says battery save mode. So there’s definitely a bigger issue here with this particular vehicle. Also headlights lights are dimming and there’s a faint humming sound.

So the starter had to be replaced. The wires were corroded and described as burnt up. Also another new battery and it ran for a moment and started stalling again. So he had to add a ground as I had advised has been a solution that many others have had to do experiencing the same issue. $560 into this car and hopefully the last repair to this darn vehicle.

Thank you for the suggestion. It was just dropped off this evening for a mechanic to look at tomorrow. I will see if there are any new findings. I’ve just been hopeful someone out there has answers or a solution. The dealership seemed clueless but the place it’s at now is a local shop. We will see but I’ll question the sensor being a factor.

I purchased a used 2013 Journey about 6 months ago. It seems there is a consistent issue with this vehicle stalling randomly. I am finding most people on here seem to have no issues other than a few but go on sites like car gurus and you’ll see hundreds of the same issue ranging from all years. The battery has already been replaced brand new. Dealership couldn't find anything but the battery. This car has been towed and boosted probably 50 times combined already. There is power but will not start. You can hear clicking coming from the dash maybe near glove box area. The temp reads -40 and all lights illuminate. We have been able to sometimes start in neutral but not always successful. I’m reading it might have something to do with the security system but I’m lost. My teenage son drives this car and this is ridiculous. Help
