welcome to the group and good luck on your improvements

havent really seen much on here about the hatch lift struts, but a neighbor kia I was checking something out for them and the hood almost got me as it slammed shut, but got to wondering about mine on my 2014 and ya after pushing the electric open switch I have to lift it up quite a bit for it to open at least it stays open tho, got me to wondering and after checking we don't have to much in options, either OEM for about 80-100 plus tax for each one or some off amazon only about 2-3 brands to choose from but one manufacture stands out over the others with a 83% rating with a bunch of journey owners say they have held up for them price is about $25 for both of them so makes me wonder how good they actually are...didn't see none on rock auto Went ahead and ordered them so we will see i guess,I'll post the results as well got to checking I guess no journeys have the lifts for the hood,oh well the proper rod still works great for me

going to all the trouble of pulling the battery, JUST replace it as 4 yrs on a journey is pretty good, they like a strong battery... that said make sure the connections are clean and tight when you finish and use some anti corrosion spray as well....make sure you replace with the correct size and group number as well,,,you can have the old one load CHECKED along with the ALT at your local part store using the remote connections under the hood where you jumped started it..welcome to the group as well

so how old is the battery???? if over 3 yrs old you probally need a new one,,you could have the battery load checked at your local part store. they can also check the alternator as well to make sure it is putting out the correct current to the battery..Most of the electronics wont work correctly with a low charged battery,,,also if you had read your manual it would have showed you where you can check your battery or jump it using the 2 locations on the drivers side firewall one is covered with a red cover to indicate the positive side of the battery current... also make sure when replacing the battery you use the correct size and group number and also make sure the clamps are clean and tight after the install,we get a lot of folks that come here for info and help and then later on find out they had a loose connection at the battery.....Welcome to the group as well

Get your pads off amazon I only use akabano, they are the OEM maker of pads made in USA and they are great quality

you can also check out YouTube videos on this repairf as well very common on journeys along with the drivers side door locks and windows at the drivers rubber boot as well

well a while ago one of my replacement led went out so I got to looking and found an extra one that I had from a different set and installed it on the drivers side.they both worked okay but since I seem to be flush with money,,,LOL,,I ordered a new set of eBay as Amazon doesn't carry the one I wanted...AUXITO 90006/hb4 it's the y13 style real compact and installs fairly easy...actually it is the same brand I first put in back many yrs ago then one burned out so I bought a different brand and then one of them finally burned out so onto the third set and hopefully the finally set cost around $44 off eBay and they don't flicker and they are nice and bright and they came positioned right after they are installed but they do give you instructions on how to rotate the position of the led lamps if necessary.................also when doing the drivers side which is real tight just remove the wire harness bracket that is attached with some Christmas tree plugs gives you a lot more more........

sorry to hear of your problems, take care with your new mazda

have you had the alt rechecked to make sure it is working properly?

I Just got Thur spending a bunch of $$ on my 2014, new windshield $100 thru Allstate ins., new tires went with some Pirelli scorpion 3 from discount tire,I have never had this brand before but they are riding quiet and rated real good,I got a great deal due to one of my old tires having to be replaced due to a nail and they adjusted the other 3 out so out the door for $700 with tire warranties as well,,,had a trans service done to a broken bolt on the pan cover that was done at the dealership but was covered up with enough permatex to keep the bolt head from falling off but it was done around 4 yrs and 60 k so I just had it fixed and fluid and filter at the local transmission shop didn't want to blame or argue with the dealership,cost was around $300...So all set for a long time now I hope....

what is the mileage on your journey and any maintenance you have done on it would be helpful,,,,, have you had it scanned with a high quality scanners to check for codes

go buy some DampRid Fresh Scent Hanging Moisture Absorber, 16 oz., 3 Pack - Eliminates Musty Odors for Fresher, Cleaner Air, Ideal Moisture Absorbers for Closet, 14% More Moisture Absorbing Power* my daughter had her sunroof vent leak in her new ford timberline( the factory didn't correctly run her drain vent all the way Thur the floor....LOL) sure did help pull the moister out and made her car smell a lot better till they were able to fix the messed for her

probally not where your leak is coming from ,that said mastic glue on both sides of the wall would be a start, I doubt that would be covered under the warranty I am not use to the canadian warranty but my Mopar lifetime warranty only covers mechanical parts and seals... there are some seams that previous owners saying caused them leaks in their journeys cruise Thur the forums section to find their post..I guess you have smelled and checking your ac drain on the drivers side isn't plugged up also the heater core isn't leaking which is on the drivers side as well..... check out YouTube as well

there was a post about the clunking sound back in dec and he needed up changing out a lot of parts till he found it was his right side intermediate CV shaft bearing making his noise. his journey is a 2014 as well,, the title of his post is....... 14 DJ Front driver side clunking noise his name is....Kavish Bhekharee Journey Member 22 Region:Canada Ontario Journey's Year:2014 Author Posted January 7 No it is not the driver side CV shaft. It is the passenger side intermediate shaft. The bearing is shot.......................here is the org post as I just learned on how to copy it...LOL
