Your engine's cooling system includes a thermostat that controls the flow of coolant from your engine to your radiator. The thermostat is designed to open and close at specific temperatures to circulate coolant throughout the system and the radiator to regulate its temperature and prevent overheating. With time, your thermostat may become stuck, preventing it from opening or closing as it should. A thermostat that is stuck open can cause the engine to heat up slowly, or it may fail to reach operating temperature at all. This may affect your engine's performance, and can also keep your heater from working as intended. If the thermostat doesn't open or won't stay open, the coolant won't be able to move to the radiator and the engine will quickly overheat . This can cause damage to head gaskets and other internal engine parts, and could even cause your engine to seize, cylinder heads to warp, and more. If you've noticed your vehicle is overheating and suspect your thermostat has failed, consider replacing your thermostat with a new one from O'Reilly Auto Parts. We carry thermostats designed to open at the appropriate temperature for your vehicle, as well as radiators, hoses, and other cooling system repair parts for most vehicles to help you make a complete repair.

Dodge Journey: Bad Thermostat → Symptoms & Diagnosis

The thermostat in your Dodge Journey’s engine plays a crucial role in regulating its temperature. A malfunctioning thermostat may lead to various issues and should be dealt with immediately.

Some of the most common symptoms of a bad thermostat are no heat, a spiked temp gauge, a blown head gasket, and more.

A thermostat failure can only happen in two ways.  

• The thermostat stays in the closed position and won’t let coolant through when the engine reaches operating temperature.  
• Or, the thermostat will stay open , and the coolant will flow through the engine continuously.

Thermostat Stuck Open Symptoms

There are a few indications that your Journey’s thermostat is faulty.  Hopefully, you’ve caught them before any damage was done to the engine.  Thermostats are very inexpensive if you do end up needing one.  

A stuck open thermostat can cause minor problems, including poor fuel economy and a lack of power , but it’s hardly noticeable.

Fortunately, if a thermostat is stuck open, there’s no risk of causing significant damage like blowing a head gasket or requiring other major repairs in your vehicle.

Directly below are the typical indications of a thermostat that’s stuck open. 

P0128 Check Engine Light

P0128 is an OBD II trouble code indicating that your Dodge Journey’s thermostat is stuck in the open position, meaning your engine isn’t getting up to the proper operating temperature. 

If your Journey has a P0128, it is almost certain that it needs a new thermostat.

A bad thermostat will often result in no heat or less heat than usual coming from the heater core.  

When this happens, the heater will only work when driving in traffic or when you’re really pushing the engine. 

This cooling capacity is unnecessary on frigid days, and the engine never warms up.  Here’s more on no heat diagnosis if you are experiencing this.

Thermostat Stuck Closed

Below are the signs that your Journey’s thermostat is stuck open. If you suspect it is stuck open, don’t drive your truck. You can damage the engine if it gets too hot.

Overheating

The most common symptom of a bad thermostat is overheating.  When the thermostat doesn’t open up, it keeps the coolant from entering the engine.  When this happens, the coolant in the radiator stays relatively cool, and the engine overheats fast.

Blown Head Gasket

The head gasket can blow if your Journey runs too long without coolant circulating through the engine.  Signs of a bad head gasket include:

• Bad fuel mileage
• Water in the oil
• White smoke from the exhaust

A head gasket is a very costly and time-consuming repair.  Hopefully, you’ve caught your bad thermostat before this happens. 

Warning Light or Temp Gauge Spiked

The first sign of a bad head gasket that most people will notice is a warning light or spiked temperature gauge.  

If you’ve noticed this, you must get off the road and get your Journey’s engine shut down as soon as possible before any lasting damage can occur.

A bad thermostat can cause the temp gauge or warning lights to come on.  But, it’s not the only reason.  Other things that can cause the temp gauge to spike are:

• Low Coolant – If your Journey has been losing coolant, it’s possible that you’ve finally leaked out enough that the cooling system can no longer do its job.
• Bad Radiator – If the radiator has clogged enough that coolant can no longer pass through efficiently, your Journey will overheat.
• Water Pump –  The water pump is responsible for pushing coolant through the radiator and the engine.  Water can’t circulate through the cooling system when it goes bad, even if the thermostat is open.

Coolant Leak Around the Thermostat

As pressure builds around a bad thermostat that is stuck shut, you’ll notice that there may be coolant leaking around the thermostat housing.  

This leak is not the cause but rather a symptom of your Journey’s bad thermostat.

Conclusion:  Journey Bad Thermostat Symptoms

Replacing a thermostat is a relatively affordable repair.  If you have reason to believe it’s gone bad, ignoring it will only end up costing a lot more money in the long run. 

Good luck diagnosing your Dodge Journey.  If there is anything that you would like to add, please leave a comment below.
