Also for the headlight flicker there is a TSB that your service department can perform and has worked for 2016 and 2017 models:
TSB NUMBER: 08-097-17
GROUP: 08 - Electrical
DATE: September 28, 2017
SUBJECT: Flash: BCM Diagnostic and System Improvements
MODELS: 2016 - 2017 (JC) Dodge Journey
NOTE: This bulletin applies to vehicles within the following markets/countries: NAFTA and EMEA.
NOTE: This bulletin applies to vehicles built on or before August 28, 2017 (MDH 0828XX).
SYMPTOM/CONDITION: The customer may describe the headlamps flicker while operating at night. This condition may be more prevalent after the bulb(s) have been replaced with an aftermarket bulb.
Just tell the shop or dealer to perform this TSB and it shouldn't be an issue anymore. Also, if you call into the mopar warranty center they will give you 2 years of payments with no interest. I signed up that way and luckily I haven't had to use it yet but it's always nice to have the peace of mind.

Thank you for posting this. I purchased a 2016 Journey in Nov 2016 and I've noticed this almost right away. Unfortunately neither of the dealerships I took it to were able to "duplicate" the problem.
I just printed a copy of that TSB and will be bringing it with me when I take my Journey back in for service.
Again, many thanks for posting this!

Personally I would take your Journey into shop and get it looked at ASAP. Otherwise it may leave you stranded on the side of the road.
If it showing that the ratios are incorrect something has failed internally.

Just an update... I took the Journey to the dealership and there were codes stored in the computer indicating that the computer was limiting engine RPM's because the Electronic Throttle Body was sticking.
They replaced the Throttle Body and the problem has been resolved.

I agree with what was suggested above. You really shoud try out both then decide which is right for you.
I test drove both and in the end went with the 4 for the reduced inital cost plus the savings on fuel whether it was minimal or not. That was the right choice me.
