getting mine done Wednesday, My power steering has been wining loud as F on cold startup when its -20 or whatever. hopefully it will fix that, i've been complaining to the dealer every year about it.

This happened to me in my sebring which is what the platform of the journey is based on. First thing I did was get used fans from a salvage yard for $100 and installed them myself (really easy and only took an hour ish). Low fan motor usually goes really quickly since it is the one that comes on first and the most. you might want to try that route if the dealership wont fix it for free since they charged you $800 for something that wasn't the problem.

I noticed that my coolant was leaning a bit over the half mark and i never saw that before. i checked the temp using the dic and of course the coolant temp was going at around 110 (230) degree before the fan would kick on and bring back the temperature of coolant to at around 100, doing the same over and over.
I got the car in a the dealership and had it diagnosed, they told me the fan would not run on low and the fan controller needed to be changed. 800$ later, its doing the same thing. only kicking on high at 110.
Now, what else could cause this? relay? im not under warranty and i already dumped that money in and its not fixed.
