My 2014's "transmission shifting hard" issue ended up being the rear differential, but it took 5 shops and ~$4000 of unnecessary repairs to determine that.

Do you happen to know what exactly was going on with the rear differential?

I have a 2014 4 cylinder, bought used with 127000 miles on it. Bought from a dealership " as is" as they kept putting it. Second day I had it, the serpentine belt shredded. I got stranded of course but finally got it home. Got a replacement belt, had a lot of trouble putting it on. Wasn't as easy as the video I saw. I ended up trying one belt size larger and changing the tensioner and 2 idler pullies. So far so good. I just cannot figure out that particular problem.

I have a 2017, with almost 70,000 miles. So far I haven't had any issues, with the 2017 I think they got most of the bugs out. As a backyard mechanic I do all the regular maintenance myself and it's never been to a shop for any repairs. If I can get another 70,000 miles without any major problems I'll be satisfied.

2015 RT AWD - LITERALLY in shop as I type this for 2nd trans rebuild. (62000 previously / now 78000 miles) Told dealer it wasn't right last time and they said nothing was wrong. Car sounded like it was going to take off like a jet turbine. Told them Ill be back in 2 years for a new trans. It was almost 2yrs to the day when I dropped it off. Just got invoice. Replaced 2-4 clutch's and rear differential was replaced(was burned up). Hoping Diff problem was what caused the trans problem. Gotta make sure I keep up on diff fluid since it is AWD. Never knew that

The breaking point for my decision in whether or not to buy was finding out the location of the battery. Imagine having starting issues or just going to replace your battery and have to remove your front drivers side tire along with the wheel well plastic to do it or pay $400+ dollars for someone to do it. No thanks.

@carproblemsmax Жыл бұрын
it's possible that there's an issue with the electrical system. the problem could be related to a faulty starter, starter relay, or electrical wiring. You should have a mechanic check the electrical system to determine the root cause of the problem. They may also check the battery connections, battery cables, and ground connections to ensure they are tight and free of corrosion. In some cases, a parasitic draw on the battery can cause it to discharge, so the mechanic may also check for any electrical components that are drawing power from the battery even when the car is turned off.

Thanks for the vid for starters! This was very informative during my 3rd row car search. So I just bought a 2018 Dodge Journey at exactly 90, 000 miles and luckily the bulk of these issues mentioned were based off the prior iterations. But what would be some possible things I could do as prevention in the cases of the water leaks or key fob issues? I guess it depends on where the leaks typically stem from but do you think, rain and nose guards would help prevent that a bit? Or maybe I could manually reinforce trouble areas with a stronger material? As far as the key fob, which sounds like the much bigger of the 2 issues, when you consider you could possibly not even be able to get into the car. It doesn't even have a key slot, theres just the button on the door.... Eghh. I'm not tech savvy. Maybe if I had multiple key fobs? But that sounds expensive.... If that's the best course of action I'll do that but if there are other solutions I'd def look into those as well I like to be proactive rather than reactive when possible. And the key fob issue (knock on wood) sounds like it'll possibly be my biggest hurdle (again, knock on wood), hopefully. Luckily I did buy the full MaxCare Package so they should take care of any problems after the fact, but I'm trying to avoid the issue if I can do something ahead of time. Just asking if any of you guys had any ideas or advice to stay ahead of it? Any help would be greatly appreciated!🙏

I have a 2017 Journey sport (cheapest model), with almost 70,000 miles. Haven't had any of these problems except with fob acting flakey, but was always fixed with a fresh battery. As a general rule I just replace the fob battery every 18 months or so. As a backyard mechanic I do all the maintenance myself, all fluid and filter changes, tune ups, etc. Replacing the starter battery was a pain as it was under the left front fender. The designer should have been pistol whipped for that.

@@Gspec5 My 2017 Journey is doing very well considering most American cars are known for problems. With over 75k miles on it I do all the regular maintenance myself, like oil, trans fluid, coolant, plugs, etc. It has yet to go to the shop for any repairs. Still using the original brakes, I might replace them in a couple of years, as I drive mostly on the freeway. No problems with the A/C or electrical components. The FOB has not given any problems and when it does I just install a new battery. The car battery should be checked every few months as if it goes bad it's difficult to replace as it is under the left front fender. I replaced mine 18 months ago and it took me over two hours to replace. A battery replacement should not take much more than 30 minutes. I hope your Journey is doing well.

My 2010 dodge journey is having electronic issues and a ticking noise coming from the fuse box under the hood!! I'm ready to get rid of it.. seriously
@carproblemsmax Жыл бұрын
The ticking noise could be a relay that is failing to engage properly or a loose connection in the fuse box. The electronic issues could be caused by a faulty component or a wiring problem. Here are a few things you could try: - Check the battery and alternator: Make sure the battery is fully charged and the alternator is working properly. - Inspect the fuses and relays: Check all fuses and relays in the fuse box under the hood. If you find any blown fuses or faulty relays, replace them. - Check the wiring: Look for any damaged or corroded wiring that could be causing the issue. If you find any, repair or replace the damaged wires. P.S. Get rid of this car ASAP.

Hi! Here are a few things to check: - Vacuum Leaks: Inspect intake manifold, hoses, and gaskets for leaks. - Fuel Delivery: Check fuel pump, filters, and pressure regulator. - Ignition Timing: Have it checked and adjusted if needed. - MAF Sensor: Clean or replace if dirty or faulty. - Engine Mounts: Look for signs of wear or damage. - Throttle Body: Clean or replace if necessary. If the problem persists, consult a professional mechanic for a proper diagnosis.
