NavalLacrosse Posted February 26, 2020 Report Share Posted February 26, 2020 (edited) Most likely the 12v battery is dying; Try jump starting the car for a temporary solution if you need to drive immediatly. Later, when you get to a mechanic, or an automotive store, ask them to test the battery/alternator. I'm thinking that the battery is weak/dying. It will need to be replaced. (It's in the Left-side wheel wheel). When the condition of the battery is less than perfect, the computer, and most of the electrical components tend to give mysterious issues. It is a common issue with this car, as well as most other modern cars. Once the battery is replaced, these issues will likely disappear. Goodluck! (If you're in the USA, goodyear service center charged me 160 dollars for a battery+labor. All my local walmarts refused to change the Dodge Journey battery because of it's slightly frustrating location.)
