What is your question?
I have a 2009 Journey, 2WD 3.5L.
Was working fine until timing belt broke which caused bent valves and a broken crankshaft.
When battery is disconnected and reconnected it starts normally and drives perfect until it is shut off. When restarted without hard reset it tries a couple of times before it starts in limp mode. After multiple starts, battery is too weak to start.
The mechanic said that something is telling the starter to turn on and then off so the starter is working correctly and doing what it's told. After 5 months he believes its a module or voltage issue but can't find the cause.
There are no codes and only 1 dashboard light for the tire pressure although pressure is correct.
TIPM, Battery, Battery cables, Alternator, Starter, Spark plugs, Camshaft sensor, Crankshaft sensor, Water pump, Timing belt, Crankshaft, 12 Engine Valves, Oil & filter, Transmission fluid & filter, Air filter, and Front axle (damaged when I hit a pothole). All wiring has also been checked.
What makes this problem better or worse?
Hard restart resolves problem until vehicle shut off and restarted.
How long has your 2009 Dodge Journey had this problem?
After timing belt and valve repairs
