Welcome to the forum! But you should have made your own thread of your problem, less confusion that way. I would go back into the rubber boot between the door and body of the car and recheck for broken wires in there. As passive entry,locks and windows all run through there, and a common problem on all cars with power features, as the drivers door gets the vast majority of use thus flexing the wires inside that rubber boot. YES it's not the easiest place to get at!!!

I have DJ's with wheel mounted controls, not stalk mounted. BUT if the Check engine light is on, it is supposed disable the cruise control function. Might this be your cause????t

$17000. for a transmission????OR are there other things needed also? The 62te AWD transmissions are interchangeable, you just may feel different shift points/feel between the 1, which from such a short time of having the car, you would probably never know the difference.

It's been a long time since I've "played" around with the rad core support, but isn't there one that goes vertically possibly on the drivers side? I am going from my fading memory here.

Surprised you didn't figure it out. It is one of the bolts for the solid "inner bumper and plastic front frame piece to the left/right side unibody frame "horns.

Just looked up the clock spring on rock auto and only 2 mopar parts listed for differences. one for heated steering wheel and one without. for '14 -2020.

The tire arrived Monday at 11:30 am. all4 got installed today...wife will be HAPPY again to have HER ride back!

I have to retract some of what I posted. The "parts car" is a '17 crossroads model with big screen but NOT navigation{RB5 radio module} It does have factory backup camera AND backup/park assist sensors{which I'm interested in getting the camera and any needed wiring for our'13RT {with BU/park assist sensors} I'm also thinking of going after bluetooth/phone module and needed inside mirror, as it contains the mic's for phone and needed wiring. Also the auto headlight switch and light sensor to put into our '14SXT. AND then there is a "brand new" trailer hitch and the wiring/adapter that would go onto either the '14 OR my son's '11 NONE of this {other than the hitch} is easy work with a LOT of interior trim and headliner disassembly and wiring to install. Also I need to do some parts compatibility searching for the mentioned clock spring issue, the steering wheels control pad will be a whole steering wheel swap. THIS IS A MAJOR INVOLVED DOING, but nice upgrades for value and my friend says I will not have ANY PROBLEM WITH PRICE, He got the car for the powertrain! Yes I have to do the removing of parts, at least i don't have to put things back together!!!! I also have the alphaobd program to update the BCM if any thing done needs that. I have a spare car to put any one down for needed time to do the work, the wife just won't be happy to be without her 13RT @lost17 You may want to consider what a complete aftermarket screen/piggyback audio system might do for your wants. There have been a few well explained threads here recently on doing this to gain certain "features".

The "picture" is much clearer now, thanks for clarifying the symptoms. Need some time to search this one out to reply further. Is the red dot anti theft warning light on or flashing when you try and start it? Any interior power {lights , radio} working? Which engine size and is your A/C R134a or the NEW STUFF?

I was going to say cranks over on starter but no engine run....did you run it out of gas???? Never heard of the gas pedal being suddenly hard to depress. But the BRAKE pedal can show that symptom.

I am NO electronics' lover when it comes to Bluetooth and phones. For navigation , on older years the radio unit of the correct type{RB5} contains the navigation. I'm not sure being yours is a '17 model if they employ a radio code to unlock for your year, it's 'plug and play" for older years like mine. In fact I found out today my friend got a body wrecked DJ for parts and has the Nav. radio unit and Bluetooth module. I'm getting the nav. radio as we're not certain wiring harness is there to put in the bluetooth module. Yours may not have needed harnesses either {pre installed} and would be a big job to do if car needs to be "in use" and can't be "down" for a day or two. And you'd still need the steering wheel controls and probable clockspring and correct wiring for it. A LOT OF INVESTIGATING NEEDS TO BE DONE before taking things apart.

Hey @2late4u Ya gotta "rub it in" . It takes a special PRIDE in one's abilities to overcome the effects of weathers doings in maintaining our rides. At least I don't have to worry much about Hurricanes. tornadoes or large hailstorms.

Nice photography of this "job" Only our '11 needed a rear bearing so far, and it was done by my friend as he already had the car for some other work being done. I've done FRONT bearings on all 3 and just a few more "things" in the way to deal with for the rear units. Nice work there, and OHH you seem to have a nice GARAGE to work in! BTW: I love the saying at the bottom of your posting!

First of all, Is your new to you equipped with phone/ bluetooth control pad on the left side of the steering wheel? IF NOT then the components are not in the car that would give you those features and are quite PRICEY to buy and install. Of the 3 older year DJ's{'11, '13, '14} in my stable, only 1 is equipped with bluetooth/phone and no navigation.

13 hours later, it is just EAST of Dayton, Ohio. All this headache because I was trying to save an 80 mile round trip to either of the 2 closest Walmart stores to me!!!!! The tire will probably go to Syracuse and back to Buffalo and then South down to me..... IF the shipping label does NOT get damaged AGAIN.

The tire in K.C. left the Fedex distribution center at 7:00 a.m. Don't have an update as to WHERE it is as of yet, Google maps says it's a 15.5 hour trip from there to my home. But WHO KNOWS just WHERE it's going? Projected delivery by the end of the day on Monday. The other 3 tires were delivered at 1:30 p.m. today to my front porch, and they do look nice for the price!

If spraying with hood open, LOOK on the drivers side at the hood pivot area. The washer line makes a 180* bend there to go into the hood spray nozzles. 2 of my 3 DJ's had that area kink and one was actually broken. I repaired with flexible hose with a little extra length so the original layout of this hard plastic line does not bend so sharply. Also on my third DJ a washer nozzle had a broken fitting for the supply hose to hook up to, This one had enough to reconnect back and I used a mini tie strap to hold it on, just like using a hose clamp. This problem made both nozzles ineffective as they run on the same supply line through the hood. Good Luck!

And point of origin was only 6 hours drive away at Oak Park Michigan.

I should have ordered ship to STORE! One tire is in K.C. Missouri and the other 3 went past Buffalo hub to Syracuse and now has to retrace same route back to Buffalo and then to me! I don't think I'll even have all 4 by Saturday.

I'm in that same boat.... My wife says i have to sell the Buick and the '14 BEFORE I can buy a minivan or Pacifica, which would be more beneficial to my uses. BUT I don't dare think of selling off HER '13RT! and son is very happy with the '11.

Y'all talk of being happy with your singular ownership of your Journey......Proof of liking is having 3 at the same time and all road ready! ROFL

So today {Tuesday} I ordered the 4 Kumho Crugen tires with ship to home for a grand total of $460.04 from Walmart. They are supposed to arrive Friday, and when in hand my friend will mount and balance them for me. I'm hoping he will also put them on the car, as I really don't care for the thought of bringing the wheels "loose" to him. He has gotten very busy this last month, I guess some folks are getting tax refunds and getting cars back in shape for the upcoming summer!

Welcome to the Forum! Sharp looking ride you have. BUT be on the watch for center of tire wear as that wide of tire on stock rim width will force a bulge in the center of the tire.

Either a problem with the VVT system OR timing marks are off between crankshaft and cams. You had the head off, very easy to have the crank move off position on reassembly VVT system can handle only a small amount of timing discrepancy and probably why only showing up at operating temp.

Further update It was a LF wheel bearing also and all the caliper pins were VERY STICKY. MOOG front bearing and Raybestos front and rear pads were delivered Friday at 1:45 pm from rockauto for another $185. Bearing and front brake work done by Friday at 4:30pm I did the rear brake work today with snowflakes in the air, 2.5 hrs. time and finished by 12:30 pm Now it just needs TIRES!!
