2.4 litre, mileage 47208. I drove it Thursday, no problems (started 4 times) I attempted to start this past Friday to run an errand. Unlocked with drivers side entry n go door handle. Step on brake to start, was fine, pushed keyless ignition, started cranking and stopped, brake became hard to push. All interior light, radio and gauges work. Tried various tricks I found online including disconnecting battery, push on/off button 5 times, shift to neutral, etc. Nothing works, having it towed to mechanic today. Any suggestions??

 

I assume you mean 2.4L as the Journey never came with a 4.2. Have you had the battery checked?

 

Case of fat fingers, yes battery checked out OK

 

What was the outcome?

 

I am having the exact same problem. We changed the battery, push button 5 times, and shift to neutral. Nothing has worked. Now looking at the 15-A 121 fuse on the passenger side to see if it's blown.

If anyone has any suggestions or knows anything about this situation, please respond. You can also email me at pekebava@gmail.com.

Thanks!!!

 

Did you ever get it fixed or find out the problem? If so, what did you come up with?

 

Did you happen to find a solution to this? my Dodge is having the same exact issue right now And I have tried every single trick I found on the internet same as what you listed above and none works.

Hoping you find a solution and that might save me money. Thank uou!

 

Daughter just had the same thing happen here is what the repair shop said it was the cable coming from the battery and at the brake switch was corrode they cleaned the cables, and it started right up $500 dollars later Now I called B.S on this but if this works, please let me know, I do not know if the cable was neg or hot and it was not corrode at the battery it was where it was attached to the starter or maybe a junction box I quit listen after he said 500 dollars .
