My 2013 Dodge Journey has a random no start. It will just click. The battery, alternator, and starter are all good. I usually have to jump it to get it to start. Sometimes that doesn't even work. It will make the lights start to go haywire. They will flicker or flash on and off. It will say no key detected when I'm literally sitting with my key fob in hand. It is a push button start. I have got the batteries replaced in the key fob as well. This will happen at random. It's happened in my driveway with a slight incline so we parked it on the curb where it was flat to see of maybe the incline of the driveway had anything to do with it, but it's done it on flat surfaces as well. I have tried to look up reasons why and have seen this as an issue with a lot of other Journey owners. This started back in the spring and happens several times in a week then it will stop for almost a month and the cycle will start all over again.
