2009 Dodge Journey Problems
A Squeak Type Noise From the Rear Suspension
A squeak type noise may be noted form the rear suspension. This may be caused by interference between the parking brake cable clamp screw head and the rear cross-member. Our technicians tell us the cross-member should be re-centered using a special procedure to correct this concern.
Whine Type Noise From the Power Steering Pump
A whine type noise may develop from the power steering pump. Our technicians tell us a revised pump and powertrain control module (PCM) software update are available to correct this concern. Additional, an updated power steering reservoir is available for some models.
Rattle/Howl/Drone/Buzz Type Noise From the Rear of the Vehicle
Rattle/howl/drone/buzz type noise, resonating from the rear of the vehicle may develop. This sound can be heard at approximately 2100 rpm and may only last for a few seconds. Our technicians tell us that exhaust clamps and brackets should be checked for proper torque and heat shield clearance should be inspected if this condition occurs.
Inaccurate Speed Settings or Excessive Engine RPM When Using the Cruise Control
When using the cruise control, inaccurate speed settings or excessive engine RPM may be noted. Our technicians tell us updated software for the powertrain control module (PCM) is available to correct this concern.
Slight Corrosion May be Found on One or More Seat Frames
Slight corrosion may be found on one or more seat frames. Our technicians tell us that corrosion inhibitor should be applied to the affected area and revised covers are available for the second row seats.
Dampness Inside the Vehicle Due to a Water Leak
Dampness inside the vehicle may be the result of a water leak, most commonly caused by improperly sealed body seams. Once the source of the leak has been determined the affected area should be properly sealed.
Vibration on Brake Application
A pulsation may be felt in the brake pedal or steering wheel on brake application. This is commonly caused by warped brake rotors. The front rotors are commonly at fault but the rears should be checked also. Warped rotors will need to be re-machined or replaced to correct this concern.
Check Engine Light With Code P0339
On vehicles equipped with V6 engines, the Check Engine Light may illuminate and code P0339 is stored for intermittent loss of the crankshaft position sensor signal. Our technicians tell us that adding a shim to the crankshaft sensor will commonly correct this issue but in some cases the flex plate may require replacement.
