Description of the problem	The heater works great on the driverside and blows cold on the passenger side no matter what you do. Autostart doesn't work when it's cold out, thought that was the point of it but guess not. Makes a really loud winding noise when i starting it,also goes into gears hard most of the time. Got the hard to find 225/55/19 tires on it and my brakes make a lot of noises. My front end makes a bunch of popping and grinding when turning left or right going forward or backwards, heatsheild is falling off around the driveshaft. Service all wheel drive light comes on often, the park assist stopped working ,taillights flickering often, one of my fobs works when it wants to even with a new battery. Driver seat is also starting to act up to having to wiggle the switch around to make it work. No one wants to fix the problems with my journey rt making me regret getting this suv i was practically forced into buying/trading it and when i went to the place of purchase a few days after getting was promised these issues fixed and i'm still waiting will not put my children in this car going to get rid of this nightmare soon as i get the chance since this so called 4star safety raiting is bs don't feel safe at all
