  1. nope, bulb is only covered under 12/12,000miles waranty. Well, if you don't feel comfortable with H16, you can get away with LED. perhaps do Yellow Fogs like a Lexus with HID. Metering those Sockets are quite painful, holding the socket and the meter leads like a chopsitck. i found it easier to just swap the left and right bulb.
  2. O, they just had a Recall on this issue, because the Hose Material is wrong. But the problem is, The Hose is in Back order. So, you are screwed, for now. :P
  3. PSX24W is a Chrysler part number, but the Standard number for aftermarket bulb is H16, or 9009. Unfortunately, Stores like Pepboys and Autozone hardly carry those either. They works on a Charger. But if you are looking for replacement bulb online, go with those number. I usually order my light bulbs from http://autolumination.com They have Almost every bulb type, color, LED conversion in the world. However, sometimes u will find the shipping cost more than the bulb. But if you intend to do LED or change ur fog Color to Purple, Pink, yellow, etc... This is a very reliable site. If you plan to do HID conversion, http://www.ddmtuning.com/ But Dodge Vehicle needs Relay and some electrical modification, or a Error code eliminator kit from the Site above. for HID, Only use 35watt kits, do NOT use 55watt. Yes, i know $45 for a bulb is just a rip off. Personally, i've used H16 HID kit on a Charger, works great. HOWEVER, i've read some complaint about the Connector for 9009/H16 bulb is loose on dodge Vehicle, I donno if they did it wrong, or what. So if that turn out to be true for you, please don't blame me.
  4. Where is it from? outside of the car or inside? do you think you can pin point the area? how loud is it? is it the click of the Turn Signal stalk?
  5. Ask if the Dealership find any Diagnostic Trouble code stored in any of the computer. and did they updated ALL of the computer to the latest software? How long does this effect last? have you tried to shut off the car and restart it? Did you went to the dealership for this complaint b4 the waranty expire? (36k miles). Because if you have it on record, by the time the cluster just dies, you can call Chrysler and ask them to waranty it. Ur symptom usually occurs when the Cluster loses BUS signal (Communication), it could be wiring. There is a Case file where a tech found a Pinched wire on the Left Sun Visor Mounting screw, might want to give that a look. or else wiring problem can happen anywhere in the car. There is nothing your Mechanic can do if everything works OK when he is in the car. or You might need a new cluster, the Cluster controls all the Wiper and steering column. But the problem is the Cluster is so expensive, and this is just a guess.
  6. You got a pretty good deal. even if someone tell you it could be better, it would probably only be like 2 or 3 hundred dollar difference. I donno much about sales in Canada, But in US, if you can Walk out of the door below MSRP, it is a decent deal. on ur part, the dealership probably only made like $300-400ish profit off your sale, and maybe $700ish off the extended waranty. As mentioned, you didn't get a deal on the extended waranty. And 5/100K waranty is generally pretty useless. I work in Dealer service dept, on top of the Powertrain waranty, 5yr/100K ownership will not cost you more than $1000 repair, especially when u got a Base model. Unless you got a Fully loaded vehicle with Navigation, Moonroof, leather heated seat, etc... Bumper to Bumper extended waranty are tend to be a waste of money.
  7. There was a newly released TSB about the incorrect shimming in the final drive gear. When you get one of these trans, it usually fails in less than 20k km. When it is fixed, you should be problem free. The Journey will be fine with drive train problem. just don't mix and match tires when you have a AWD model.
  8. Are you under waranty? if you are, take it in. do you have Manual or Auto climate control? Those bulbs does NOT have part number, they are soldered onto the Circuit board. if you are going to replace the whole control, i think they are like $150 list price from the dealership. The Center bezel can be removed by a trim stick, or just yank it out by hand, they are just held on by clips. I've taken it apart and soldered new bulbs onto the circuit board, and it works. So if you got some practice on fixing circuit boards in TV or VCR players, go for it. if you want to know what type of bulbs i used, i have no idea. I just took few same size bulb from the bulbs bin in my dealership.
  9. All of these TPMS are made by Shrader, an Irish company that supplies TPMS pretty much for everyone. Nissan, Ford, GM, chrysler, VW, etc... Once in a while, i see some made by Mitsubishi, probably to pick up the slack, because these sensor are breaking faster than shrader can make them. Chrysler doesn't design them, but i bet they are sick of paying for the waranty too. It doesn't matter if you drive a Chrysler, or Toyota, they all get corodded and break. Quick Lube place don't want to touch it simply because if it breaks, they do NOT have any equipment to service tires. It is easier for them to just not take the chance. While in a Tire shop, they can at least take it out and replace it with a Rubber Valve Stem, and send you down the road. What can you do to help prevent this from happening is Never use metal/chrome valve stem caps!!! Only use plastic caps, and leave them loose. when the valve stem cap goes missing, replace it immediately. So keep a few in ur glove box. you can get a pack for like $2 everywhere. If the cap does Seize onto the valve stem, do not go for a plier. You will have to get a grinder and split the cap in halve, very carefully. But of course, over years of beating by harsh weather, they will eventually give up, just like anything else. As for the Newer car, Shrader finally decided to use a Rubber valve stem that can be separated from the TPMS, so ppl don't have to pay $100 every time it fails. All these Gadgets and Options on car, they Nickel and dime you in the long run. I alrdy seen a lot of ppl just give up on the TPMS thing, live with the light, and just put 4 rubber valve stem in, which we have been doing for the last 100 yrs.
  10. Go slower next time, these shifter are more fragile than you think, you might end up breaking it. <_< I have a few customer broke the piece of plastic that attach the lever to the cable, because the pull on it too hard or too fast.
  11. Most of the smaller SUV out there are like this, just think of the 3rd row seat to be "just there", lol. The 3rd row seat on the Kia Rondo is a lot closer to the lift gate and sacrifice trunk space, no? it is good to have some space between the rear passenger and the lift gate. Safety reason for example, what if someone rear ends you? The Journey use and extended chasis from the Caliber/Avenger, so lets not expect too much.
  12. one of ur wheel speed sensor is glitching out. On most vehicle, it is because the Tone ring on one of the axle broke off, causing the Wheel speed sensor to pick up bad signal. Inspect the tone ring on the axle, see if an damaged tooth are spoted. However, i believe you can NOT see the teeth on the rear tone ring on Journey. If you find a broking tone ring, you will need an axle and a sensor. which is pretty expensive. If that does happen, advise on Aftermarket axle is waste of time and money. Get a Re-Man OEM one or new one. If all you need is a sensor, then it would be cheaper. If you can't find anything with simple observation, you will need some real diagnostic equipment that can see which sensor is sending the false signal while the ABS/Trac kicks in, and go from there. Journey are fairly new vehicle, not a lot of shop would even have up-to-date equipment for it. your best bet is dealership. Either way, expect few hundred dollar repair bill on this one if you are going to the dealership. Can you just turn off the Traction control? so at least you can drive for now? Do you have All Wheel Drive? I hope you don't Mismatching tires will tear apart you Power Transfer Unit.
  13. The WIN module do a lot of things. It is an electronic device that wraps around the Ignition Cylin. It tells the PCM the Key position,if the right key is inserted, and it has solenoid that release the Key when you put the car in park. It also does a lot of other things like Picking up tire pressure sensor signal and remote keyless entry, etc... Give your dealership a call. There is a STAR tech tip on what you are experiencing, if they look it up, they probably will just fix it. If they give you hard time about it, just act all upset with your car, and threaten to trade it in and never buy a Dodge product again. <_<
  14. the car clearly in park, which means the Gauge Cluster reads "Park", right? If that is the case, you need a WIN module. (on the ignition cyln.) I hope you are still underwaranty. -Good luck.
  15. what was wrong with the Napa rotors? were they warp? rotted out? crack? and what happen to your factory rotors?
