Goldie Posted April 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2017 Thanks. My wife and I have gotten a few looks and compliments on our RT. We love our Journey though I do know it is early days yet, but being a committed and repeat Chrysler owner (3 vehicles: 2 Dodges and 1 Jeep, while my dad purchased 7 for himself and 3 others for family members during his lifetime) I am familiar with them and trust their products. I also love knowing I am supporting the North American economy. I have always liked the generally affordable cost to maintain/repair domestic vehicle, though all the electrical/computer gadgetry (and the accompanying wiring) does intimidate a wee bit for someone raised on locking hubs, crank windows and cassette decks. I guess I'm showing my age. In my experience I have found, like in most things, if you take care of the vehicle it will take care of you (just like this website which is a GOLDmine of collective knowledge and accumulated wisdom). rolly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkeaton Posted April 4, 2017 Report Share Posted April 4, 2017 Welcome to the forum! Hears to hoping you purchased an extended warranty (yes, through Chrysler, Bram)...... rolly and 2late4u 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goldie Posted April 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2017 Thanks. Yes, as far as other cars go Journey's are easy on the eyes (then again, I've always loved Dodge body designs), though I've heard some refer to the Journey's as 'trucks'? I haven't bought the extended but may do so at some point. First task is rustproofing/oildrip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkeaton Posted April 4, 2017 Report Share Posted April 4, 2017 Different area DMV's refer to them differently. It is a CUV. Crossover utility vehicle. Though our registration says truck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rolly Posted April 4, 2017 Report Share Posted April 4, 2017 I second the extended warranty. Best insurance, especially with all the electronics, and yes make sure it's a Chrysler warranty! jkeaton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2late4u Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 well to be honest i did have to use the Extended warranty at about 50 k when i had a oil pressure sender went bad on a trip away from home, just took it in to the dodge dealership they gave me a free rental car and about 5 hrs later called and said everything was fixed cost me my $100 ded plus $7 for rags and cleaning supplies and i was good to go so glad i had the warranty,cost was supposed to be around $400-500 without the free rental so it has helped some.... jkeaton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
