I've read this as well.. Just not to happy after paying just under $30,000 for a brand new car to sound like it should be on vegas vacation when leaving my driveway or going over bumps within the first 5000 miles. This shouldn't be acceptable.

LG G3 does not work here. Wish it did as the voice recognition for everything else works pretty well.

Hi DodgeCares, I have the same issue. My struts, and end links have been replaced and dealer has still not resolved the issue.

Yes, was trying to make a point that the light does not flicker like this when the car is running and the doors are open or lights manually turned on. Video only shows lights when car is off and lights on. Sorry for any confusion or ignorance.

Hmm.. I must read into this. I forgot to say this light only flickers when the car is off.. Not while running.

Dhh, thank you as always. I'll drive it gently to the dealer tomorrow and just leave it there.

Yes, they bulbs are led. Ill give that a try and mention it to the dealer when I go back to have the Struts and mounts replaced. The suspension noise performed great when it needed to and like others here have said, they plan to replace the struts and mounts. However I picked my car up to bring home until the parts arrive and found this. Was told its ok to drive for now. Man,,, my stories with this car just do not end.

Thanks guys. I get the same driveway groan every morning. Any thoughts on the overhead light? I'll let you know how it goes tomorrow.

Hmm.. Kind of frustrating.. I have 7400 miles on the car. Love the car... However my patience is being tested as its been in the shop 6 times already. I never lease cars and I was excited to buy a fcjdr car for the first time. At 26000 to 32000 this car has so much for the price. Hopefully my next post will be positive. 😀 Till then ill drive my sx4 awd that I got for $15000 with 4 miles on it 8 years ago. I've only changed the oil, brakes, rotors, and some fluids at 107500 miles. Thing is a small beast.

Hey Guys, A while back I had posted that my overhead driver side light flickers when the engine is no longer turned on. I'm going to have this checked out at my appointment on Thursday. So I'm having two things looked at. 1. As I've posted my front suspension has been making some creaking / Clunking noises when leaving my driveway and or when turning and changing surface heights. 2. Im going to have this light checked out. (Check out the video) If anyone has had any of these issues please let me know. I read this service bulletin and it seems about right. "Noise From Front Of Vehicle Over Bumps Or When Turning OVERVIEW: This bulletin involves replacing the upper front strut bearing to correct the noise. MODELS: 2012-2013 (JC) Journey NOTE: This bulletin applies to vehicles built between December 01, 2011 (MDH 1201XX) and December 05, 2012 (MDH 1205XX).

DodgeCares, I apologize for the latency on this update and will continue to follow up. On my next oil change/tire rotate I will note these issues with my local dealer. Still happy with the car and Im sure things will be resolved.

Hopefully DODGECARES and chrysler's engineering takes more notice as it doesn't seem to be isolated. Sales have been pretty strong and this vehicle seems to be on the right track. So hopefully there is a solution soon. Besides a few things it's a great car for the price. From experience it can be a bit frustrating dealing with problems of a brand new "purchased" car so soon. Sure we all may be over analyzing the situation but it's something each of us has noticed. Keep on posting and hopefully something will be noted and solved.

Having the same issue on our 15 crossroad at 6800 miles. Will follow all of the previous advice and keep you posted.

Dhh3, Same here, it used to be only pulling in and out of the driveway but now i'm noticing it more often on my commutes. Ill see a dealer soon, however I'm just wondering if you have addressed this issue? I've read the tsb as well and if anyone has any input it would be much appreciated. 6800 on the car, I've had a few issues, but for what you get im not giving up on this car. Thanks
