Thank you for that, Journeyman425! I called the nearest dealership and he said he'd be happy to work on the vehicle regardless of title status. He wasn't sure if the recall would be valid but said if he runs the vin he'll know. I didn't have the vin on hand and he wasn't sure because he hadn't come across the situation. Your answer really helped me. I'm now reasonably reassured that if I need it he can do it. He said they'd be happy to ro maintenance and any service I need, which makes me feel better. I guess then I'll just have to stop wanting drls and just pop my headlights on manually when needed. All of your help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Thank you so much for the response :-) I did find that too. I knew it would void the warranty completely. Unfortunately, nothing I have found actually clarifies the entire issue. I am just unsure whether it voids the recalls or not, because recalls are a safety thing and applies to many vehicles out of warranty. I will call a dealership or ChryslerCares after work today - hopefully someone will know.

Okay. I'm sorry. I don't have a dealer yet and I thought maybe the journeyman425 might know becausehe works for one. I will just call a nearby dealership and ask. Again, I'm sorry. I seem to be asking all the wrong things and ruffling feathers. Definitely not my intent.

Hi. Thank you for checking the vin for the sales code. Yes, I am aware that this Journey has a total loss on it's record and that it has a rebuilt Michigan title. Thank you for looking out for me!!! I guess, since we are on the subject, you might know the answer to my other two questions... 1) on a total loss vehicle, rebuilt for road use, do RECALL fixes still apply? There is one on this vehicle from 2015 that was never completed as that is when the collision occurred. I am hoping I can still take this vehicle in for service on the recall. 2) Will a dealership service center still service this vehicle for me or will they run away screaming and make me do it myself? Thanks!!! You are very helpful!

I am a little confused. Earlier in the thread it appeared that adding the code didn't work for 2014+ Journeys but DID work for 09-13. The vehicle I will purchase is a '13. I'm not sure I want to buy a vehicle with no DRL and no way to configure the option. So, I'm just doing my research before I commit. I'm sorry if I'm being frustrating or obtuse. I assure you, I'm no dummy. I've just never come across anything like this before. Thank you.

Thank you very much for the update.

Not buying from a dealer, but thank you.

How about now? Last update was 9/28 :-) Can you at check the VIN of the Journey I'm about to buy this weekend? I'd like to know if it will have DRL. If you can't or don't have time, that's okay.
