152 miles as I live in the U.S.   haven't really read on here about that many alternates going bad on our journeys.. I do live in the southern part of the U.S. so we don't see much snow mostly ice which we just got some Monday nite it LOL as shut everything down Monday nite and Tues,and probably Thurs and Fri as most of the locals go crazy when it rains real hard...but my journey doesn't see brutally cold and salt,you could eat your lunch off my engine as well. good luck and stay safe this winter up there

Even tho you say its only 2 months old while you are going to check the cables have it load checked to see what its condition is even new batteries can go bad,other than that over the internet its hard to dig something like this other than having a qualified mechanic look at it. is it sitting outside or in a garage? I would bet its the battery 

oh well 152k and still going strong on mne

I would def try to tighten the alum ridges that clamp around the tubes just be carefully,as mentioned above the tubes are sensitive to any movement, I wouldn't try to replace the o rings as they should still be ok

as mentioned above make sure you have a strong battery and or replace it with the strongest one you can buy also replace your fob battery,since you recently purchased your journey... I would just replace your battery myself..................also check the battery cables connections to make sure they are clean and tight.................

looks like a cover for an air vent from the underside of your car ,crawl under where you found it and look around should be easy to find where it goes back also you could take it to your local dodge dealership and they would be able to tell you where it goes or any auto body shop should or could tell you as well if they want to help.please report back on what you find out    I have never seen one on a dodge journey BUT pickup trucks usually  have one located on the rear wall near the floor of the cabin to let air out of the truck cabins so the ac/heat work properly 

thanks for reporting back on the fix ,,,,that is what makes a blog help other folks,,, Have sa great New Year

yes new parts can be bad, return it to o'rileys and they should replace it for you,, from your statement was it more than 1 senor? are you sure you replaced the right one? no problem driving with those lights that are on you just wont have abs braking just regular style brakes and also NO cruise control...I haven't been driving with those lights on for about a yr/and half while waiting on the dealership to get me a new abs module that are on backorder everywhere no one has replacement module,,,also you could have a bad wheel bearing as well causing your problem with that sensor showing bad but could be the wheel bearing...good luck

mine just done this but was stuck in the heat mode, drop the glove box door and then push the black fabric cover so you can see the blend doors there is one to the left side of the opening  which controls the different levels ( defrost floor and regular vents) of the air is sent ,the one closest to it on the right, is the one causing your trouble if you move the passenger side temp up and down it should be moving I just tapped on mine and it then started working and haven't caused me no more trouble now there is another one on the right side of the air filter don't know what that controls............

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

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

Yeah the rotor was covered in rust dust when I took the tire off im sure it's never been changed. I love by lefty loosy right tightly, but everyone keeps telling me I'm going the wrong way so before I try again I wanted to be sure. Also I have been spraying penetration oil on it almost every day for a week. Got me a 3/4 in drive breaker bar and an actual hub nut socket 32mm and that puppy ain't breaking for nothing ? thanks for your advice 

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

@ztahie did you go with mopar or an aftermarket? I CAnt really afford a $300 mopar egr right now but there are many aftermarket brands for about half the price. Has anyone had luck with anything other than mopar? Maybe doorman or SMP?

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

Link would be helpful. Rear arm oem is pricy. Cheers.

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
