  1. After having my Journey for a year I have had nothing but problems. No one seems to know how to resolve them. I understand your frustration.
  2. I purchased my Journey in July 2008. The first year I loved it. August of 2009 everytime I turn around there is a new problem or the same problem happening over and over. 1. Replaced my steering resevior. 2. Car started to shake randomly and violently. It now has a constant shake to it. The engine light came on and blinks when shaking. When engine light is on the remote starter does not work. No one can seem to fix this problem. The code reads number 5. So my spark plug, 5 injector/piston, and coil have been replace two times. 3. A few days after the second repair to 5th injector my engine light came back on. This time it was my catalitic converter. 4. There has been a skake to my car since it started to act up, but the violent shaking started again. So once again I have to have it fixed. 5. first winter the car ran fine in the snow. This winter the car did not want to move. Had to have my car push 2 different times to get into my driveway. The tires on it have poor tread...I would buy better tires but I do not intend to keep this car for too much longer. 6. Breaks do not work properly when it is real cold or a lot of snow. I no longer like this vehicle. I will never by a Chrysler product again. The worst part of it all, there are only 2 dealerships around me and none of them have a loner car or rental for me use so I have to find rides to and from work and to pick up my vehicle.
  3. I also have a FWD Journey. It handles very well in the snow. I had a Jeep Liberty with 4 wheel drive before and I think the Journey handles better than my Jeep with it in 4 wheel. We get snow and ice. There are lots of hills that have bad accidents and my journey survived them last winter.
  4. I took my vehicle to a different dealership a month ago. They ordered parts and told me I would have to bring it back. The day I took (Friday, Nov 13) it back they replaced my 5th injector, coil and spark plug. They also told the code said number 5 again and catalytic converter. There was a software update and they down loaded it. On Tuesday the 17th my check engine light came back on. I have to take my car in again tomorrow. I have not been on here to keep everyone updated because it frustrates me. I know my problem is not snow or ice around my wheel wells. We have not had any yet. But that is good to know too. I have had my steering reservoir replaced, my #5 fuel injector, coil, and plug all replaced. Now my catalytic converter is doing something. My shaking has not been as bad, but it does not go away anymore. There is a constant shake that was never there until the random shaking started. I will have to see what they say tomorrow.
  5. Well they picked my car up friday. The kid brought it back before I had to leave from work. I said is it fixed and he said no...the guy in charge would call me. The guy called and LIED told me it was fixed. I am not sure if they did anything to it. I have been dealing with the misfire for over a month now. I going to call a different dealer. I am so mad that he lied to me. I did not want the kid to get into trouble for telling me the truth. I think I may try to report the guy too. I feel like he has been yanking my chain this whole time. What angers me the most is I pay a lot for this vehicle & I am never late with my payments. I also purchased this car from this dealership. By the time this guy fixes my car my engine will be shot. I really love this car, but they are making me hate it.
  6. The dealership called today and picked up my car. It finally registered a #5 fuel injector is misfiring. They said they will replace it tomorrow (have to order part) and the problem should be solved. I will update incase someone else has this issue. When you buy a car it comes with the 2 sets of keys. My remote start has not been working. I used one set and after a year I switched to the 2nd set. My 1st set still work but my 2nd set do not start my car...all other buttons work. They are going to check that while they have my car tomorrow. I hope this will solve the problem. Thanks for the advice from the 2 replies....I gave them my suggestions. Also my car is only a year old 2009 Journey, so it is definitely under warrenty.
  7. 09DJ...I have had random violent shaking at 40-60 mph. Is your shaking still gone? My dealer cannot figure it out. Never does it for them. Mine does it at random times. It has a constant shake that is hard to feel, but then all of a sudden it feels like I am running over railroad ties put together in a row. sdeveau...Did you get you vehicle fixed? Was it the same as 09DJ's problem....I need this fixed. Today I noticed my remote starter did not work. I figured it won't because of what ever is wrong with my car. My engine light is on. It blinks and dings when the shaking is bad. I figured I will suggest DJ09 resolution...hope it works. They were supposed to call and have not. They have had my car 3 times in a month and probably sick of me.
  8. I have a 2009 Journey with close to 13,000 miles on it. Not long after getting my car last July (08) I noticed on left turns it would make a noise. They replaced my steering resevoir. That sound has went away. For those who have experienced this. My car has a skaking to it. There are times it shakes so bad if feels like the car will fall apart. It happens mostly between 40-60 mph. It has caused my check engine light to come on. When it shakes violently the check engine light blinks and dings. I does it at random times. Some days it happens a lot and other day hardly at all. The dealership cannont find the problem. When they have my car it does not do it for them. I have read through the post on here and wondered if anyone has had this fixed? If so did it stop? One person said for them it was a #5 piston. Just wanted to see if there were others this worked for... Today I noticed my remote start did not work. I paid extra money for it and it is nice when winter rolls around...is the remote start part of the problem above? Either way it will be mentioned to the service department when they decide to call me again. They were supposed to get me a car to use for a night so they could figure out what is going on with mine. JUST WANT ISSUE RESOLVED! Scared to drive my car too far away in fear it will break down and I won't have cell phone coverage. Please let me know of any issues like this I can suggest to my dealership. Thanks for reading my post.
