2013 Dodge Journey
Key Made in Under an Hour in Ventura County

Q: How long will the replacement key last?

A properly programmed Dodge key should last as long as your original. The electronics are the same quality, and the programming does not degrade over time. The most common wear point on Dodge Fobik keys is the shell and buttons. Dart owners describe the small metal buttons being glued to the rubber pad and falling off over time, with the icons wearing flat from regular use. If a shell cracks but the electronics are fine, we can often swap the board into a new shell without full reprogramming.

Q: What if the new key stops working after a few weeks?

Call us. Every key we make is covered under warranty. If the key stops starting the vehicle, loses remote function, or develops any issue, we come back and make it right. On Dodge vehicles, a common post-programming issue is "key fob not detected" messages. A 2019 Charger owner reported the proximity unlock and door-handle button stopped working entirely. A 2014 Charger SXT owner could only start the car by touching the fob to the start button. In both cases the root cause was vehicle-side, not the key. We diagnose and fix it as part of our service.

Q: How many buttons does the 2013 Dodge Journey key have?

Your 2013 Dodge Journey key has 4 buttons. We verify this along with the FCC ID and key profile before we arrive to make sure the key we bring is an exact match for your vehicle. Dodge uses different remotes across models and trims, so getting the right fob matters. A mismatched remote will not program correctly.

Q: Can I trust an aftermarket Dodge key to be reliable?

It depends entirely on the source. OEM-refurbished fobs from reputable Dodge key suppliers work well and are much cheaper than dealer parts. But cheap aftermarket Fobik keys have real problems. One locksmith described Amazon fobs as "absolute trash" with cracked shells, bad buttons, and failed proximity. A Dodge Ram owner's aftermarket keys would not accept the immobilizer code at all. An aftermarket fob on a Stellantis vehicle was reported to start the car but not lock, unlock, or remote start. We carry keys with verified OEM-grade electronics to avoid those issues.

2013 Dodge Journey Smart key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

A long-haul trucker pulled into a dark rest stop outside Oxnard late at night and his 2013 Dodge Journey key fob stopped working. He was between loads, the truck wouldn't restart, and his next pickup was first thing in the morning two hours away. Stuck at a rest stop at night with a dead key and a schedule that doesn't bend.

The dealer was closed. The nearest one open wasn't taking same-day appointments. He found EZ Car Keyz and called from the rest stop.

I met him there that night. His fob had a failed circuit board, not just a flat battery. I used my VVDI2 to read the transponder data from the dead fob and transfer it to a new unit. Because the WIN module still recognized the transponder code, I could salvage the chip data and skip a full all-keys-lost reprogram, which saved time and money. His replacement fob, FCC ID M3N-40821302, was a 4-button flip key that I built from a fresh blank with the cloned chip inside. I cut the blade, tested start, tested all the remote functions, and confirmed range.

He was back on the highway in under an hour. Total was 296. The dealer would have been 499 whenever they opened next. When you're stuck at a rest stop at 10pm, dealer hours are irrelevant. What matters is someone picking up the phone and showing up with the right tools.

Dodge Journey Key Credential Questions

How on-site key replacement works

Do you use OEM or aftermarket keys on Dodge vehicles?▼

We use OEM spec keys that are verified for your specific Dodge model. Aftermarket Fobik and smart key fobs from unknown sources are risky on Stellantis vehicles. Locksmiths on forums describe aftermarket Dodge fobs as "hit-or-miss" with some being defective out of the box. One locksmith ordered two Fobik smart keys from a supplier and both were defective. Another described Amazon fobs as having less than 50 percent success rate. We carry keys with OEM-grade electronics that we have tested and trust on real vehicles.
