Just had front brakes done but still hearing squealing from brakes do you no why this would be
Squealing from brakes when applied (and sometimes even when not) is a common issue with many vehicles. There are a number of reasons for it, most often it is the brake shoes/pads themselves. Most manufacturers today install ceramic brake pads as OEM parts, but due to their cost, most drivers opt for semi-metallic pads when replacing them. Most manufacturers recommend anti-squeal shims and/or compound be applied to brake pads for disc systems, but they are often ignored and not installed. Older, sticky calipers can also cause poor release of brake pads, resulting in drag and noise. Lastly, worn, warped, and thin rotors can add to noise issues. Having well serviced, quality brake parts and using proper installation techniques will usually remedy brake noise issues. Just as a side note, residual dirt and grease from the installation itself can cause noisy brakes for a few days/weeks after first install until it is worn off and the pads break in. If you have issue beyond the first two weeks, and you have had them installed professionally, take it back and have them verify that the pads were installed properly.
Why does my journey smell like maple syrup when heat is on
The sweet smell you are getting is probably radiator coolant (antifreeze). This, if coming from the heater vents, most likely means that you have some sort of leak in the heater core. Either it is a loose clamp or possibly a defective heater core. Watch the coolant level carefully to avoid excessive loss and potential overheating. Be advised that simply not using the heater will not strop the leakage, as the coolant is always running through the core. It will only cause you to not get the smell since the air is bypassing the heater core.
A/c on 2010 dodge journey looses air pressure and cold temp.
Sounds to me like you've lost some freon refrigerant leaking. And yes, to all those people who read this who think freon is banned because of it's "super greenhouse gas" You're half right. Freon 11 is banned, but freon 12 and cfc 12 are still used, if anyone cares to know the actual name, it's dichlorodifluoromethane. Have a shop check it out and top it up, doesn't cost a whole lot and is almost certainly your issue. Hope this helped a bit, Grim
License plate bolts spinning
Seems like a lot of trouble to remove the mounting panel. If you can get to the back of the panel you should be able to get a pair of grippers onto the nut. If the bolt spins there must be some gap between the back of the bolt head and the licence plate. Use the tips of a pair of side cutters ("hollow" side out) to immobilise the bolt then use a dremel with a cut off disc to cut off the head which lies between the jaws of the cutters. Of course if you have a really strong grip you might be able to cut off the head with the side cutters.
