    also do you have the proper ratio of coolant and water,? did you replace with new coolant? what leaks did you fix before? as mentioned did you replace your 2 thermostats? also as mentioned are the fans coming on at the proper time? after all your journey is going on 7 yrs old might be time to do a back flush and new coolant i just had my 2014 transmission and coolant service done at the dealership,just makes good sense. most water pump problems are leaks as was my grandsons water pump leak on his truck.actually it was a seal leak as most newer vehicle use rubber seals instead of the older style gaskets, but we replaced the pump with a new thermostat as well since it was a 15 yr old truck

    never heard that about reset after replacing a battery or alt, also the rebel is right about the TB on the 2.4 i have read about it over on the patroit blog as that is the engine my daughter has in her mail vech. and a lot of TB being replaced due to that problem, i would replace it if i was you

    seems like i remember someone posting on here about caliper covers they tried to put on but they wouldn't clear the rim after being installed, be sure to check the clearance real good before driving and then report back on how they fit and work

    i doubt it as the journey is really not a towing vehicle,you might find something by calling some camper stores or handicap vehicles shops

    guess its just the luck of the draw on getting a good one, I had a 2011 (with 70 k and no problems with it) and loved it so much i traded it in on my 2014 and have 112 k on this one and have only had 3 small things go wrong with it and they were covered under my warranty

    if you are having to add BRAKE fluid every few months then you have a leak, just clean everything thing as good as you can and then when it leaks a bit you will know what area to examine for the leak, might need to have a qualified mechanic check it out since they have the proper tools and knowledge to troubleshoot the problem, good luck

    really have no idea and never heard this one before ,might be related to the clock spring,,if you dont want to pay for the dealership diagnostic fee, then your only recourse is not to use the horn i guess, not trying to bee funny or rude.

    id go the short route and just splice into it the closet you can to the light .Why go any father and maybe do more damage?

    yes of course they will fit, that said be aware your tire replacements for the 19 inch will cost you a lot more than the 17inch and i had a 2011 with 17 inch and they lasted me almost 55k before i replaced them and then traded it in on my 2014 with 19 inch rims which i like the look BUT the cost and not much selection on tire brands unless you switch to a 235 55 19 or 255 50 19 ,and as mentioned before the cost of the 19 inch tires are high priced. you might want to go to 18 inch or 20 inch rims as the tire selection is better with better prices..either way good luck and also you might want to check out for your self sizes of tires compared to the oem by googling tire size comparisons calculators

    my mistake thought you were talking coolant temp and not the oil temperature

    wheel speed sensor gone bad will also cause the cruise control to not work

    sounds way to high, io have the 3.6 eng but i normally run around 185 -200 when i was towing a trailer it would get up to 115-118 but no higher... havs your coolant been changed,, since its a 2014 its due and also might want to replace the thermostat as well

    Definitely have your battery load checked and also the alt ,local parts store will do this for free, journeys are bad to act crazy with a low battery charge also make sure the battery clamps are clean and tight.

    never knew or read anything about a transmission repair under a regular car insurance, i did have a friend where his jeep suffered an engine lockup due to hydro (water )getting into the engine and his max warranty wouldnt cover it because they said he went threw the water to fast and causing the water to enter thur the engine cover plate and the seal between the engine and trans but then he found out his reg car insurance would cover it

    ended up going with a 4 drop and 3 3/4 rise made for a perfect height when using the 3 3/4 rise position for towing the trailer and he had 16 inch tires on the trailer as well

    i just had an experience with my daughter patriot, she had already had both front and left rear wheel bearings replaced and developed a loud noise and it wasnt a droning noise or grinding but sounded more like a thumping noise that got louder with speed until you got to around 50 mph and then would quite down a bit, her regular mech said her right side wheel bearing was good as he had checked it out and that it was her rear end going out,anyways long story short i put it in the dealership expecting a 2500 repair bill and they called and said it was her right side wheel bearing was bad even tho while spinning it while on a lift it made no noise.... so that 2500 bill ended up being just around 400 which is high for a wheel bearing it was a lot different than what i was expecting
