Battery and alternator are new

I have a 2014 Journey. I have random problems like the radio volume going up and down while parked or driving, radio screen going black, battery dying, not finding key fob, saying the car is not in park . But I have a feeling to find the problem I may be cheaper to get a different car? Am I right?

I too have just run into this issue. Traction control light on then lightning bolt with limp mode. Can't go above 30ish. No codes being thrown. No abs light so I think that rules out sensors? Starts and shifts perfect (only to second gear then limp). Runs a little rough sitting in reverse. Fuses checked ok. Just bought this 11 months ago for 7500. A bit upset.  Retired and on fixed income living in a car dependant area. Thank God for door dash. Any thoughts on what could be the issue? Throttle body? Throttle sensor?

Mine was the throttle body was bad or stuck

Nice find, but it says for NISSAN. never heard of this for any of the Dodge/Chrysler products.and I've been around them and on forums for them for a long time. Would be nice to know if this is "legit" for our vehicles.

There is a sequence that works on the journey I just can’t remember it

A '14 model year wit the 4 cyl. motor and at 100k miles? Have you ever had the spark plugs replaced or had the throttle body cleaned? 

  With ETC light on, yes it will trigger traction control and other lights also as you try and drive with the ETC light on and in "limp mode".

Yes I have had them changed and cleaned.

the traction control off light came on the same time the ETC did and same time it did it went into limp mode and idols ruff.

I did clear it before just can’t remember the sequence.

‘14 I have the same ETC light , traction control light, etc about a year ago went into limp mode I pulled into a shop , a mechanic came out and told me the sequence to reset it, said if there is a real problem it will come back in but it never did now a year later same circumstances humid heat indexes 110 plus then rain and BAM thru the light again and limp mode and I’ll be damn if I can’t find the sequence but it was a key on, press pedal 3 or 5 times quick, wait 10, press and hold for 7 , wait 

but can’t remember anyone have it? 
I am going to go to dealership also cuz I just hit 100,000 miles so my guess needs update but would rather not have lights on when I do
