    Thanks for the info. I've only had it up to 100 mph so far.

    So I have had the Journey one day and did the first half of a 450 mile road trip.
    It was mostly highway driving, nearly 4 hours, going from about 200' elevation to 2,000'. The 4 cylinder/6 speed had plenty of power. I was hauling a few hundred pounds of cargo and the car handled it with ease even when climbing mountains. No signs of struggle from the 2.4L. The transmission shifts are quiet, smooth and barely perceptible and power was delivered when needed.
    The ride was quiet and comfortable and spending that much time on the road allowed me and the car to get acquainted.
    Handling on twisting mountain roads very good, even at speeds of 50+ mph. EVIC was reporting around 28 mpg with the above stated load and my heavy foot. Cargo space with the rear seats folded down is cavernous. It swallowed up a 6' folding table easily.
    Once evening fell, I found the headlights to be more than adequate and the high beams really cut through the total darkness.
    Overall, I am quite impressed by the maiden "journey". I just have to load up a USB stick so I don't have to station surf.
    This is not my first Dodge and is my 10th Mopar vehicle (5 Jeeps, 5 cars).

    I purchased a 2015 White Dodge Journey last night. I'm looking forward to learning the good, the bad and the ugly.

    To rule out the wipers I would remove the blades and take it for a spin. If the noise is gone I'd say that is a pretty good indicator that the blades are your issue. Wrap the arm in tape or something to avoid damaging the windshield.
