LOL ya I was thinking lug nuts as i was just helping someone that had a lug nut that wouldn't budge. but it did meet its match,,, the cv axle nut is what he is talking about, and yes he could slit the nut and he might have to use a torch for some heat as well ,but then you run the risk of damaging the axle,,,,,,, its always a great idea to replace that nut after removing it even if it still looks good, he needs to find out the correct torque setting for it as well so he doesn't ruin the new bearing by over torquing it

I pulled apart the recirculate motor and tested, (pain in the butt to get out with no stubby) that seemed to be working and not a stripped gear like some had suggested. When I was running all the vents I was almost sure that I saw the recirculate door not working. So anyway I put it all back together and to my amazement everything worked fine! so like YYZ stated the door must have been stuck and not bringing fresh air into the car. After a long test drive ZERO fogging in the car now! So we can add another fix to this repetitious problem. Thanks again for everyone's input, found this where I was telling you look remove your glove box door and also the black cardboard cover under there and you will see the three actuators the left side big one controls the direction on the air that is sent to your vents that one should move when you change the settings on the dash the center controls just the heat for the passenger side and I believe the right side one controls fresh air but not sure on that you should see the arms move on all of them when changing the dash controls good luck

check Thur the forum click on Climate Control there was a lot of discussion on this problem I believe there is a sensor (black box) behind your rear view mirror that controls that problem

geta 5 ft iron pipe for some additional leverage and or just snap off the lug whichever happens first,,, By the way welcome to the group just remember I believe your engine has the timing belt that needs to be changed

you could check with your local junk yard/salvage yard for a used one they usually give you a 30 day warranty on the parts

TAXES,, use to live in Michigan and property taxes up there are huge 2-4 k on a nice house and that was many many yrs ago,I would hate to see what they are now, taxes in Alabama are not bad mine would be around 600 but since I am over 65 we don't have to pay unless are income goes over the limit they have set which so far we haven't hit that until we have to do the RMD on my 401 k., I hope everyone has a Happy and a Safe New Year

I am NOT a mechanic but yes they can stretch a bit and sometimes enough to skip a tooth,maybe enough to cause the engine to quit running..since it didn't break you should be okay to replace the belt cheaper than replacing the engine that might not be bad,,,,take this for what its worth...good luck and please report back on what you do and what happens in the future

think they are referring to the wiper blade and not the arm for the rear

other than having a shop /mechanic take a look at it. I have never heard this one here before, what ever you find out to be the problem please report back here in case others have this happen to them ........ Welcome to the group as well take some time and read thur the forums for other great solutions to the wild side of owning a dodge journey

Glad I live in Alabama with my dodge journey, My 2014 doesn't have hardly a bit of rust underneath it,and you could eat your dinner off of my motor is you wanted to.with 152 k on it and being 10 yrs old it is still looking pretty good except for some of the hail spots we got right after we bought it while driving Thur Arizona and all the rock chips on the hood ...LOL oh well

check out YouTube for videos on how to remove and replace a wiper for more great info as well.please report back on your repair and insights for others to learn from

did you replace the thermostat and coolant? no mention of miles plugs will be due around 100 k as well the transmission service . hope everything turns out well for you

I believe that you can just remove the rear shaft going to the rear and then just have FWD,not the perfect solution but cheaper than junking a car or spending huge $$$.....my daughter had a jeep patriot which was making a huge racket and the mech disabled the rear shaft by unhooking it and then took it for a test drive but it still made the noise...thought it was the rear diff going bad ended up being a bad wheel bearing even tho the regular mechanic no the wheel bearings were good...OH well you never know, the dealership found the wheel bearing instead of the rear diff.

My cousin worked for several different railroads over the years as they went Thru there consolidations and ended up being CSX, he started out a reg worker then got laid off and then called back as a mechanic trainee, and then laid off again then called back as a engineer trainee, and finally got enough time in to not be laid off, and then he went into salary there and ended up becoming the yard manager for CSX and they transferred him all over the country every few yrs and then he finally retired and man he is well off with a fancy home in florida and they just built a big home on a golf course in Tn

also the blue tooth module has been a known parasitic draw as well,try disconnecting that as well

It should BUT you should check with your local dodge dealership parts for more complete info to be sure

my neighbor mentioned as I drove past him that my journey seemed to have a whine that he was hearing, it was real cold that morning and I had just started it and took off as well I had noticed it before but it goes away after a few minutes f warming up,,3.6 eng here with 152 k on the clock

why did you replace the coil packs,just a waste of $$$ unless you were having a problem with them,,they are either good or bad.....

I would buy a new set of pugs and install these before I would do anything else NGK V-Power Nickel Plug Number ZFR5F-11 Spark Plug - 2262 the electrode on these are thicker then on the extended range spark plugs but other makers they should be replaced every 30 k you will have problems with the more expensive plugs you can buy these at o'reillys for around $4.69 each or off Amazon for around 4 for $ 15.77...STICK with the NGK brand as well

If things didn't go wrong, life would be just too boring to enjoy

TPM module NOT the TIPM module two totally different modules and NO they are not GOOD ,,,,,,, the tpms module is remembering the last position and giving false readings, I just went Thru what you are experiencing 6 months ago on my 2014 crossroad was about to give up on it and not bother to fix it and the wife wasn't happy with that, so I went to my tire shop and they messed with it a while and then said well the batteries are going bad and I had them replaced cost me around $300 parts and labor for 4 new sensors if I remember correctly,,,, and THAT fixed my problem,,,the TPM module is in your rear left wheel well above the top of the tire well

no,, but it happens to all different car manufacturers even the imports more often I read where they used soybean oil in the wire insulation that can draw the mice, first iv ever heard of this happening to a journey, my grandsons altima had problems with mice in his engine compartment they did around 250 of damage.

could be the wiring going Thur the black rubber sleeve ast the upper rear hatch or the actual camera located in the hatch back

are you saying you don't have a regular speedo that shows you how fast your going? my distance to empty only shows in the info section.

First off welcome to the group .............so does your gas gage work when you fill it up from empty? I assume you are talking about the info telling you what you have left before running out ( distance till empty)....if your fuel tank is full and the gas gage is saying empty then replacing the fuel pump/level float in your tank would be the answer unless you have some bad wiring somewhere between the tank causing the problem,,,if its just the distance till empty info sensor then I believe you are out of luck as your journey is at least 14 yrs old and I have never heard anyone else complain of this problem...good luck and please report back on what ever you find out to your problem for others to learn from it....You could try to do a reset by removing the cables from the battery post I am not sure if yours has the battery disconnect near the upper firewall that we have on the newer journey but let it stay disconnected for around 20 minutes or so and then reconnect...does the same thing as if you are rebooting your computer might help and doesn't cost anything
