  1. as most one time posters they never reported back on their solution to the problem, i would assume their problem would be different then yours. have you checked out youtube for any solutions?sounds like your journey is not rec the signals from your fobs,,,did you put in new batteries or just checked them for their strength i would replace them first before doing anything else. please report back on whatever you find to be the problem for others
  2. havent heard anyone mention this happening on here,, welcome to the group
  3. good luck just wondering what the cost of supplies are and also the cost of the window from the auto supply yard,, it has been my experience the cost is more than its worth
  4. i also just paid the dodge dealership to do mine, as i bought the extended warranty and didnt want no reason for them to turn down an repair
  5. rear struts are hard/time consuming to change on journeys, that said it depends of how they have been driven whether the struts go bad,but we really havent heard to much about bad struts, of course all the fluids should be serviced at least by the owners manual time/mileage intervals but it is a good idea to be proactive on doing it sooner than later,,,you can download the owners manual off the internet for free just google it,, also youtube is great for info on how to do it.also the forum tab is a great place to get info on your journey spend some time cruising thur it....also is your extended warranty thur dodge/mopar or a third party company????
  6. 100 k is the service point on the transmission ( i had mine changed at 60k and then again at 100k ) as mentioned only use mopar fluid and it takes a certain amount depending on the temp as such ,more info on that can be found on youtube, also this trans does have a learning schedule on how you drive BUT most journey owners myself included have experienced this hard sift or clunk from time to time and shouldn't be any real concern for you,as far as the rear shutter i dont know about it as i only have fwd ,but as you mentioned there are a lot more parts related to awd the flex transfer towards the rear has been mentioned quite a bit on here for it going bad...good luck and use that warranty as soon as you can and save ALL your paperwork that you give them and what they give you ,please report back on what you find to be your problem as well
  7. i wonder if the coolant temp sensor is going bad and or causing the fans not to turn on at the right time, strange it ran fine for 2 weeks and then happened again.
  8. to be honest i had in the past always over torque the lug nuts since i didnt have a torque wrench, so finally broke down and bought one and always use it to do the lugs at 100 and have never had a problem since removing the nuts go to harbor freight or your local part store and pick one what,,,,, also NEVER use a ratchet and a cheater pipe,, i have always bought the 19 mm socket and a 24 inch breaker bar and that is more than you need to remove the lug nuts,,,so easy as well harbor freight for both of thoes as well .... LOL ,,,,i do not work or sponsored by harbor freight as well
  9. might be a stupid question but did you bleed the air out of the system? also what are the symptoms? using coolant,overheating,code for the thermostat,
  10. seen this video on a leaking power steering hose, also this guy makes great videos on all different cars...........
  11. so much info and nothing on why you took it to the garage for the work, and then had problems after the work was done....... also mileage would be helpful.....i assume the garage is not a dodge dealership as well.wouldn't be the battery if it has enough juice to start it and what about the alt. has it been checked to see if it is putting out enough juice to keep the battery charged? and as far as the throttle body how did they check it? good luck but i would take it to the dealership yes more expensive but more experienced mechanics there...good luck and let us know what the cause is
  12. true story on my journey around 2 yrs ago i had just got back from discount tire after having the tires rotated and balanced and i thought well i wanted to clean the back side of the rims real good and went to loosen the lugs with my socket and 20 inch bar, and Dam the socket would not fit over 2 of the lugs, i thought WTF and went to check the other tire and 3 of them the socket would not fit and then checked the other side and on each rim there was 2-3 nuts as well deformed... so i called the tire shop which is around a 25 mile drive from my house and asked to talk to the manger and told him about the socket not fitting over the lugnuts and he starts telling me well its them 2 pcs lug nuts that are the problem and not his service center, and i said whoa wait a minute before i came there i had no problem with the lug nuts being deformed but after this visit i have at least 2-3 nut on each wheel deformed and unable to remove them myself and it was to much of a coincidence that they all went bad after the last trip to his store, and he said since i was a loyal customer as well and if i would drive it back he would put on a new set of solid lug nuts at half price so i ended up paying around $20 for a complete set which was cheaper than you can get them off amazon as well,,, i believe his mechanic must have used an oversized socket ( 19.5 instead of a 19 mm) to loosen them or tightened them as well with the air gun...oh well it ended up being okay, just killed the rest of my day waiting to get everything taken care of,,,just glad i noticed the problem right away tho
  13. but since the hand touch sensor seems to be the only thing not working it could just be the wires that are disabling it to work and the key fob is still working as well,, but i am not sure on all this but that would be where i would look first
  14. Guess it could be But since the key fob unlocks the door lock BUT the hand touch doesn't would lead me to think the wires at the handle are the most likely culprit
  15. 5rebel9 has replied to what i would also believe is to be your problem
  16. thank you for taking the time to reply on your fix, for others that may need to know
  17. Our journeys love a strong battery and will act crazy with a weak or bad battery,just charging it is not enough ,take it to be load tested at your local part store and also have them check the alt to make sure it is charging enough...also have them scan it for any codes that might have been stored as well Welcome to the group as well
  18. do a reverse flush to break it all loose
  19. i believe it just slides on BUT not for sure, maybe John who would know for sure will see this today he comes on here quite a bit...good luck
  20. my father had a rear side window in his caravan blow out yrs ago he thought someone had shot it with a bb gun,but the glas place said when a window is under stress and explodes the glass will always be thrown outwards unlike when hit from something then it goes inward as well,,,,LOL i have no idea on that but that is what he was told and it made him feel better that it wasnt done on purpose
  21. Separator - Mopar (05184144AC) 5184144ac MSRP:$22.80 Discount:$6.56 (28.8% off) Sale Price:$16.24 why take a chance ,not expensive, but it should still be okay...your choice or chance
  22. sounds like your heater core is plugging up for the right side, ( it is a 2 zone core) you could try to reverse flush the core, or just replace it but if you do replace it make sure you flush your system first and also did you USE the correct antifreeze when topping it off...check youtube for the quick way to replace the heater core
  23. same as mine i replaced thar part of the hose with the reg rubber hose didnt need any connectors
  24. i would first disconnect the line going to the front washers to see if you have weak pressure there if not then the washer nozzles are pluging up, if the flow is weak then i would try flushing out the washer bottle itself either by removing it or buy you a cheap fluid pump from harbor freight and remove the fluid and then refill the bottle several times to see if that helps with the pressure.. plenty of videos on youtube on how to remove the washer bottle if you go that route...also make sure you dont have any leaks in the washer hoses that might have went unnoticed thus causing weak pressure, from my experience the washer pumps are either good or bad at least on other older cars....good luck
  25. actually the old fill it till it runs out the top hole MIGHT not be the right advise...MY daughters 2016 jeep i seen the right front axle seal was leaking at the outer edge so i cleaned it up the best i could and then refilled the front differential and since it was still covered under warranty we took it too the dealership, and they at first said it wasnt leaking as there was no grease being sung into the wheel well but i corrected the service adviser to go look at the wheel well and look real close, as i had wrote down on the drop off form that i had cleaned it up but they could easily see a lot of grease was still left there,so they went ahead and repaired the seal and then they said well you over filled the difff and i could have damaged it by doing that so i told them well i just had to put almost a whole bottle of lube in there since it was almost dry and that i just filled it till it ran out the top hole and they said well that is the old advise but they said there is supposed to be just a certain amount and then some room for expansion as the diff were not built like the older models and didnt leave room if filled to the top....oh well at least that was there stance
