Weird starter issue


Dre

Recommended Posts

Just wondering if this is something you guys have ever seen or had happened before. I stopped for gas yesterday and like I always do when my wife is with me I pressed the start button twice to stop the engine and set it to ACC so she could keep listening to the radio. I must have pressed it 3 times by mistake because all of a sudden, the starter started to turn and turn but the truck wasn't starting. It's like it was stuck in a loop and the starter just kept turning. I tried to press the start button again numerous times but it's like it was frozen in the RUN position. I was pretty freeked out because unlike a normal ignition where I would have simply taken out the key, I couldn't just throw the fob as far as possible hoping it would stop. About 15 seconds into it I figured I'd try something different and I held the start button down. I'm not sure if it was just lucky timing or if that's actually what stopped the engine from turning over but it finally did stop. I then gassed up the truck and it started as usual but the check engine light stayed on. I was gonna call Dodge to make an appointement but the light went off after going for a couple drives. I'm not sure what the heck happened but I hope it doesn't ever do that again. Didn't sound healthy at all!

I just dropped off the Journey for an oil change and to get this update and was told 11-069 doesn't apply for me. He said the only two updates showing for my Journey are 11-078 and 11-082. Hopefully this will stop the starter problem from happening again and also fix my Sirius channels going to the wrong station with voice commands. I'll keep you posted.

I picked up the Journey but the invoice they gave me doesn't really specify any details. My Sirius channels are now correct but it was listed on a seperate line as a different flash so I don't think either 078 or 082 had anything to do with that. I don't have the invoice with me right now. I'll come back and edit this post later if I have a minute.

EDIT: Alright here's how it's divided up on the invoice:

ELECTRICAL - CHECK UPDATE FOR U-CONNECT - FLASH HANDS FREE MODULE

Labour: 01 Mechanical work - 0.8 units

DRIVEABILITY - PERFORM RRT 11-078

Labour: 01 Mechanical work - 0.2 units

DRIVEABILITY - PERFORM RRT 11-082

Labour: 02 Body shop work - 0.3 units

So basically the first part is what probably fixed the Sirius channel problem with the hands free. I'm not sure what they did with RRT 11-082 that required "body shop work". If I had noticed at the service desk, I would have asked. Anyone know?

RRT 11-078 is for a languge issue in your EVIC. Or the MPH staying on after shut off. RRT 11-082 is for the battery drain issue some are having

DRB,

20journey11 is correct in his explanations of RRT 078 and 082 as stated above.
