Owner Narrative
The contact owns a 2016 Dodge Journey. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the vehicle failed to accelerate as needed, and there was an abnormal ticking sound coming from the engine. Additionally, the contact stated he had noticed that there was an abnormal odor coming from the vehicle. The check engine warning light was illuminated intermittently. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that the engine oil cooler and the intake gasket needed to be replaced due to oil leak, and the O2 sensors, the timing cover gasket, both cover gasket seals, and the front crankshaft needed to be replaced.
