I just changed the link and tested it out not signed into Photobucket, and it seems to work now. Yes, the truck did stop... He seemed to think that I hit him... I did make contact with him, only because HE came over into MY lane! LOL... Some people. We both wrote up our versions of what happened for the OPP (Ontario Provincial Police) that attended the scene to do up the report, and the OPP found the Tractor Trailer Driver at fault.

On July 27, 2016 I was heading home at 9:00 pm... I just left my office by Pearson Airport and was heading to Downtown Toronto... I didn't make it that far when a Tractor Trailer changed lanes into the driver's side of me on the 427 southbound south of 401... It forced me into the right guard rail... I am fine, but my Journey not so much... A couple days later i got the call from my insurance, it's written off. :-( I'm not sure what I'm going to get to replace it yet. http://smg.photobucket.com/user/waynetow/slideshow/2013 Journey Damage

I made an appointment, took the day off work so I could come in during the week as my original selling Dealership requested... I made the appointment 2 weeks, that's TWO WEEKS prior... I get to my appointment, and they had my Journey in and out in about 15 minutes... NOT FIXED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Apparently their main electrical guy was busy, and the mechanic that looked at it saw it was not working (yes, that's why I brought it in), and that it would be 4 to 5 hours of troubleshooting to determine what the issue was, I would need to come back another day during the week and leave the vehicle with them! So now I'm looking around for a Dealer on a Tuesday after a long weekend (Monday being Family Day here in Ontario), and pretty much every single Dealer had the same story... "It's a Tuesday after a long weekend, there's a snow storm, and we are trying to catch up"... But, I finally find this one Dealer in Rexdale, they were willing to diagnose the problem... I was in and out in about an hour and a half, they had to order a new rear screen... I came back a couple weeks later on a Saturday, spent about another hour and a half at the Dealer, and they had it all fixed up for me! And guess how much my original selling Dealer cares? ZERO, ABSOLUTELY ZERO!!! No follow up phone call to ask when I want to bring my vehicle in to get looked at, no apology, no nothing. I am really really pissed off at my original selling Dealer... They are constantly trying to upsell crap that I don't need each time I go in for service... One time they called to tell me I was due for a service, I mentioned that I still had another 2000 kms to go, there was silence on the phone for several seconds, then it was as if he didn't acknowledge what I had just said and he asked "so when would you like to bring it in?"... Ugh, really??? I've found my new Dealer, I will be dealing with them from this point forward!

Hello Kathleen, I will do... Hopefully sometime this month I'll get in to get it looked at, maybe get that ABS recall done too. Wayne

Yes sir, I actually purchased the factory extended warranty, so I'm good for 5 years in total!

I've had the itronics itb-100hd in my Journey, and another one in my work truck for the past couple years... They are great cameras, just make sure you have a good quality SD Card in them! Here's my YouTube channel where I've uploaded some of my more interesting encounters on the road... https://www.youtube.com/user/waynetow The itronics camera has captured most of the videos over the past couple years... before that I had a Contour camera.

I've had my 2013 SXT for 2 years now.. I know the rear flip down screen worked since I tried it with the radio and the wireless headphones (about 6 months ago)... I never really used the DVD player until recently (this past November), the DVD would play on the main screen on the dash no problem, but the rear flip down screen decided to stop working, you can't even power it on from the main screen or the remote, the radio display that worked before on the rear screen doesn't even work... I figured I would get it looked at the next time I'm at the Dealer for an Oil Change... I also noticed my DVD would freeze up after about 15 minutes, it's a brand new DVD, so I don't know what's up with that? Just curious if anyone else has had similar issues? Thanks!

Hey Powerz69, If you take a look at my photo in the post above yours, in the top left corner you'll see a green circle with a couple cars in it, that icon (or a yellow or red one) means that your NavTraffic is working. You'll be able to click on that icon and see the various delay (if any) information. It's weird for sure, it will work then stop working if you have the Canadian service, if you have USA service it just works all the time... I honestly don't know why the two can't just get together and play nice and have it work for everyone. The plus ( + ) and negative ( - ) icons in the top right corner adjust the zoom level of the map. I believe you can see the breadcrumb trail, I don't have mine enabled any more, but it was before, so I could see the Journey that my Journey had made to the Dealership. There's all kinds of settings, so you can adjust things just how you like them.

Here's a shot of my screen.

Hi Eric, You might need a US address to set up a US account, I used my address in Buffalo that I have items shipped to (for those that don't ship to Canada). I'm not sure why they need it since all communication is done by email. So that might be the issue? It still boggles my mind that Canada can't offer it when it clearly works. I can take a picture and post it tomorrow. I'll take it by my work at Pearson Airport so you'll see that I'm in Canada.

Yup, I was still in my trial period, I lost the remainder of my trial period since the USA does not recognize the Canadian trial period, and you can't have both accounts active. When the Navtraffic does finally come to Canada, I was told that you can NOT get it on its own, you must have a radio service, then have the Navtraffic as an add on!?! I honestly had no interest in the radio service, just Navtraffic. But, if you want to continue having radio service, the USA can hook you up with that too.

If you DON'T have an active Canadian account (either trial or paid), then you can just call SiriusXM USA to set up a new US account (you'll need a credit card). If you DO have an active Canadian account (either trial or paid), you'll need to call them first to cancel your radio, just give them the ESN (found on channel 0), then you can contact SiriusXM USA.

I bought my SXT in December, so there wasn't much selection in winter tires... I had to slip and slide my way through Winter 2013 - 2014. I'm going to start looking around the Toronto area for a new set of Winter wheels (rubber and steel rims) soon... I've always liked Sailun Ice Blazer, I had them on my front wheel drive Impala and they were pretty awesome!

Well, I've got just over 10,000 km on my 6 cylinder 2013 SXT now... I don't exactly drive it that delicately. I use the "Fuel Log" app on my Android Phone... My average fuel consumption is 15.47 L/100 km, the best was last weekend on my first long distance highway trip at 10.49 L/100 km, and the worst was this past Winter with idling and such at 20.91 L/100 km.

My GPS seemed to reset on its own to default (complete with the Garmin HQ listed in the favorites) about 6 months after I took delivery... >>> http://www.dodgejourneyforum.com/topic/5702-gps-self-reset/ <<< It has been fine ever since, except for my NavTraffic dealie.
