Problem overview

Some Dodge Journey owners report experiencing issues with the back passenger door not opening or closing properly in cold weather, which may be linked to the child safety lock mechanism. These problems can arise due to the effects of low temperatures, which can hinder the door's ability to stay closed or lock correctly. Additionally, some owners have found that a disconnected or broken door lock linkage inside the door can contribute to these issues. If there are concerns regarding the power door lock system or the door lock relay, it is recommended that owners seek a professional inspection to identify any components that may need repair or replacement. Addressing these specific causes is crucial for ensuring the proper functionality of the back passenger door, particularly in colder conditions.
