  1. Would it be wrong if I ask them to let me drive another awd Journey on there lot that’s for Sale?
  2. So the dealer ended up replacing some gear and a clutch in the transfer cas and the turbine noise when I slow down went away but it’s still there when accelerating. I have brought it up many times but I still get them telling me the tech took it for a driving and it normal. I don’t see how anyone would be ok with this turbine noise. It’s very noticeable to me, on a side street with music off it’s all a hear. Do you guys with awd hear anything like a turbine, a high pitch whine like a turbine, it goes away when you let off the gas and changes tones with gear shifts? You only hear it when in low speeds.
  3. I have 2014 rt with the Garmin nav, would that be the rb5 radio? Is it possible to upgrade the screens that come in are journeys to a Durango screens? I notice they have apps and more setting plus judging by the videos I have seen there nav has much better quality. I love using the 3D view on my Garmin nav, it works great but I’m not a fan of how it gets all blurry in the distance. It looks like the screen quality in general is not as good as a Durango’s. Are they different or is it all software and just lowered because the computer in are cars uconnect is not as powerful? Or is it that there’s is HD and ares is not.
  4. Hello i have a 2014 Dodge Journey rt awd that I bought used about 5 months ago and I have noticed every time I put my car in a gear or it downshift when coming to a stop I can hear this sound I think it coming from the transmission . It does it every time It changes gears, I thought it was normal because I have heard this sound on many Chrysler vans before but I want to make sure before my warranty ends. I tried searching on the net but couldn’t find an answer, but I did find out that the sound is most likely my solenoid. I found a video on YouTube of a dodge van making the same sound mine does. Anyway can you guys tell me if the sound is normal or not please? “2012 Dodge Grand Caravan 62TE Transmission noises”. Is the name of the video on YouTube if you want to hear the sound. Thanks so much for any help.
  5. Hello is it normal to notice a whine when accelerating? I just had my gears and clutch changed in my transfer case because of the whine, but before it was all the time whining especially when slowing down. I still have a whine but only when accelerating and it not a noticeable as it was before the repairs. Is this normal? To hear some when? or should there be no whine at all. I’m still under warranty and I want to make sure it’s fixed right while I have the warranty. thanks
  6. Thanks so much for the reply and help, I have an appointment next week to have it looked at. we are currently having a heat wave all this week so today the rpms again went higher then normal, but I decided to stop at a dealer and ask them If it’s normal and of course they said yes, it’s because the really hot weather we are having. No codes, no problem according to them lol. Anyway I was wondering during really hot weather is it normal for the Ac to make the rpms go up even higher then Ac rpm normal to help with the extra load? The rpms at a red light is around 875 rpm, the Ac still works perfect, all tempatures are ok. It’s just a couple hundred rpms higher and I only even noticed the higher rpms because I hear this humming sound. I always hear this humming from a belt or pulley during cold starts, then as soon as the rpms drop it goes away. It’s that same humming type noise I hear when the rpms goes up a couple houndred rpms extra from the AC. I always remember whenever you turn off the Ac the rpm would go back down right away but with mine it stays up for a good while, I can even turn the car on and off and still higher rpm. Is that not proof of an issue? Because the rpms won’t go back down to normal? im thinking of trying to clean out my throttle body tomorrow, is it possible without removing it all? I would just use a rag and a tooth brush sprayed with carb cleaner?
  7. Hello i just bought a used Dodge Journey rt awd with 110,000km, It has an extended Powertrain warranty to 165000km but nothing else. I really do love this car but I have come across some issues after a month of owning it and it’s been giving me some regrets deciding to go domestic this time rather then my norm, Honda or Toyota. My wife even told me she thinks it’s a bad idea, but I bought it anyway because I loved everything about it, so because of that it make these problems even worse lol. The most rescent problem I would Like to have fixed right away, but I’m not even sure where to start. On really hot days when I turn my ac on my rpms at idle go way up, close to 1000rpm. If I turn the car on and off it doesn’t fix the problem even if I turn the ac off it doesn’t fix right away, I have to have the ac off for along while to get my rpms back down to the norm. On days that are not super hot the rpms and Ac all work like they should though, it just seems to be on the really hot days. Today I popped the hood and I noticed that when it would make that clicking sound and I expect the fan to go faster or the second fan turn on if it had one, it doesn’t, infact is seems The fan stays the same speed all the time. On my past cars When the Ac was on I would hear the fan go louder from time to time or the second fan would kick in, and it would always be after that click. Anyway I’m thinking my rpms are high because my fan is not going faster when it should/ when Ac is on. Maybe the fan speed control modular or maybe a Ac condenser clutch or vacuum leak? What do you guys think is the cause of my high rpms when the Ac is on during hot days? I have had this car for 2 months and so far I have had the engine cooler replaced and transfer case gears and clutched replaced. I still have the problem of my car having a shudder/shaking when at a stop light/at idle(I feel it most in my chair)but the rpms don’t move when the car does these vibration shutters(it feels like the rpms are rough and it’s going to stall but the gauge is at a steady 500 to 700rpm. my other issue is the front end just feels loose, but I think I will make another thread in the future since this one seems to be going on forever lol, sorry for the long post. I could really use some help with this issue. thanks for taking the time to read my post. Jason
