when did your journey start making the sound mine has mostly been after it was a couple yrs old I have a 2014 and it makes a clunk when going over a speed bump or mild bump in the parking lot I don't notice it driving down the road,I have sprayed the bushings down with silicone spray and that seems to help for... I cant find no you tube videos on a dodge journey mostly nissans a while but then it comes back... any more info you can supply would be a big help for other owners...thanks like did you do the repair,how hard ,cost of the bushings and any other info on if you can tell the bushings are bad before tearing into it...like my journey I live in Al and no salt the under side looks great no rust but have 178k on it but it almost always been making the clunk but was told it was the strut upper bearing but dealership no help to say that is what it is

was born and raised up in Michigan till I moved at 24 to alabama, I only remember the good things of fresh snow after the storms and snow skiing and skating on the lakes with 2 poles and a bed sheet made into a sail of course the bad part was you couldn't see where you were going....LOL most of all the crystal clear water to swim in excerpt both of the lakes we lived on were spring fed so they were always freezing cold , unlike here in Al most of the lakes here are reddish color except for a coupe of them that I can drive to that actually aren't that bad but nothing like Mich. lakes... and I sure don't miss the property tax difference between Michigan $4-7 k and Al $0 what I pay and if I was still working it would be around $700

well I am using a dodge dealership so everything is high,,,,and ya I am having the plugs changed out as well but they sure aren't giving me a cheap rate this dealership just changed hands about 4 months ago so I had always trusted them to do good quality work ,,,HOPE that holds true for the new owners that are running it now,,,,No snow here but dang it sure is getting cold had to put on my long pants today it got down to 30 degrees, I do miss the fresh fallen snow for the first few days but then it starts to melt and that isn't very pretty...take care

this is a highly talked about on this forum if you want to use the section for it so many different causes for this but the main fault tends to be the top strut bearings are the main cause of the noise nothing short of replacing both of them which is a lot of trouble and expense as well....sad to say both my 2011 and then its replacement my 2014 both suffer from this as well sometimes I notice it more than other I believe they had a bulletin put out on it but no recall as far as I know of..that said yours might be from that shaft,,,

well I had noticed oil covered grime under the passenger side crankcase area and CV axle area as well, I cleaned it off real good about 3 weeks ago but noticed it was coming back again so I dropped it off to the dealership that I use,they reported back that the front and back valve covers was the culprit on the leak I had thought it was the crankcase seal leaking again as they had replaced that 2 yrs ago,,,,, so this covered under the Mopar warranty that I have of course with a 100 ded, I am going to have them replace the spark plugs as well as the journey has 178 k on it and I had them replaced at 100k thought they would cut me a break on $$ since they already had it apart for the valve covers seal, but NOT sure they are doing that for me LOL they said well our labor rate is 230 hr so only 200 and my Chrysler discount on the plugs 25 percent off so the plugs around 32 each drops down to around 22 about 358 for 6 plugs and labor,,,plus my 100 ded on the covered valve covers........... ouch so much for cutting me a break for doing the plugs now vs later, oh well the economy has to keep on going....HOPE everyone has a safe NEW YEAR experience,,,, Stay warm and Happy

LOL.... clutch pedal....WTF. your volt meter was that the kind that plugs into the power outlet?

good luck and welcome to the group

yes the blend doors will make that noise during operation of the unit and after you shut the car off for a minute or two while it goes into resting position,,,but it shouldn't do it at random times while it drains your battery,sounds like you also have an other problem that is causing it to activate or short out,,as far as the rear ac being disabled have no idea on that problem

I just seen where he has a 2009 and NOT a 2014 journey as he has it listed, my mistake on telling him it had 2 thermostats....LOL

easy to see just operate the blend door switches while you are watching them move under the glove box. 2 on the passenger side and 1 on the drivers side as well....you tube has a lot of videos or on the journeys blend doors......... as for the heater core dodge used a 2 zone heater core one for the drivers side and one for the passenger door side ,so it can get heat for just one side while the other side is plugged up....P.S. if its a blend door motor only use OEM as it has been reported the aftermarket ones don't last very long

this video just came up on my computer about a new all metal updated thermostat for the 2.4 engine.............

just one of many videos he seem to removing the air box and might not have to but seemed to the best one I quickly watched replace both thermostats and remember everything is plastic so don't over tighten the bolts and break the unit...and also make sure you bleed all the air bubbles out of the system as well

youtube will be your best bet to research on what to do... I would advise you to watch as many as you can, as most only show what they think is important,,, basic tools and quality parts from your local part stores in case their is a problem with them,, make sure you use the correct antifreeze, MOPAR is best but cost a lot of bought locally,amazon has good prices on it... 2.4 is a lot more trouble than the 3.6 which I have but it shouldn't be to hard,local mechanic garage might be your best bet since you seem to be unsure of what you need or to do...good luck

depends on which eng you have....

just did a flush of power steering a few months ago ran 2 quarts Thur the system used Mopar atf-4 as well,,also flushed the brake lines as well all caught up on the maintenance system that most folks never do.... I didn't use the brake cleaner tho,,,just wanted to do everything since I have the Mopar lift time warranty..thanks

LOL my 2014 3.6 power steering either chirps real loud or screams a bit when first started in winter time here in Al. right now its getting down to 30 degrees at night,,the pump is also noisey as well for the first 2-3 minutes till it warms up

2014 with 178k ,,,,,my 2011 when traded in had 90k on it

was the replacement antenna OEM????

so many different fixes BUT without being able to have it checked out we are just guessing,,that said if it was running okay till you replaced the oil cooler??? I am assuming its a 3.6 engine,,,,what is the age and condition of the underside frame, is it rust free, I would assume you have a wiring problems so check all the body grounds for loose or corrosion connections and also check all your connectors to make sure you have good connection also check for broken wires,,,check the fuse block for green crusties under it as well,as mentioned have the battery LOAD CHECKED to see if its in good shape,good luck pull the battery and clean the post after load checking it as well the Journeys enjoy a strong electrical connection and weak batteries make them go ape shit with all sorts of problems

weird that all 4 doors are doing this,,,as I worked in a dodge van plant, the doors go down different lines Left and Right so the insides guides and glass get put in and then the panels installed it wouldn't be due to supplier panels I would think,,,,just weird as yours is the first I have heard of doing this

he was asking about an android system and they have been discussed under the forum I mentioned, so I also remember the crutchfield as well,,, was just trying to let him know where to look for more info OR as I mentioned he should CONTACT the manufacturer who made his unit and they SHOULD be able to help him with his problem

I would say you need to contact the manufacturer who made and sold this system to you for help..they should have experience with this check the forums under the infotainment section Audio, Infotainment Navigation, MyGig, UConnect, etc. some have posted using a system from aliEpress

I have been told not to use led in the hi-beam as that is where your DLR are and your hi beams will stay on all the time,,I just run the led in low beam and reg bulbs in the high beam and haven't had any problems except I have had to replace them 2 times so far but it is a 2014 model
