  1. The navigation has been rendered useless. I never said anything about the entire system. Frankly, after one night of internet searches I find it alarming that there never has been a class action lawsuit about this issue. No I did not pay $3000 for the system, however My understanding is the out of pocket cost for parts and labor to replace the entire unit is in that ballpark. I'm not sure what the NHTSA is, but a class action law suit would get a lot of people some money back that they spent replacing faulty units with "refurbished" faulty units (some have had this issue about once a year for several years). In addition to those people getting some of their hard earned dollars back, the lawsuit would also encourage Chrysler to stop putting faulty equipment with well documented issues in their vehicles year after year only to earn more profit on recycling that same "refurbished" garbage over and over again into the same vehicles causing the same issues that they had before they were "refurbished". Yes I'm mad that my navigation stopped working, yes I want it fixed, but I would rather see Chrysler fix the issue for good and that is my point about a lawsuit. It is completely unacceptable for the equipment to fail as regularly and as early as it does. Chrysler should be ashamed of themselves for allowing something like that to happen for what is it now? 7 model years in a row? My guess is soon we will hear from those with 2017 models on this post as well.... hey "dodge cares" where you at? Care to chime in on this topic again now???
  2. I had a 300 with the 3.5. When I heard that sound I knew it was time to add a quart. That was usually every few thousand miles so my guess is they put in five instead of the required six quarts of oil. Check with dipstick to avoid adding too much ps the 3.5 most certainly does have a timing belt. Manufacturer recommends replacing every 100k miles and runs roughly $1000 at the dealership
  3. It does not work as advertised and no, I'm sorry, but I have NEVER owned a computer that was rendered useless on an annual basis due to a known issue that has not been corrected for years and affects every platform of the manufacturers product line with that feature....nor have I ever paid $3000+ for a computer
  4. P.S.: I just emailed the NBC Washington (D.C.) I-Team in the hopes they will investigate, report, and get Chrysler to do what they should have done years ago and fix this issue. Are you paying attention NOW Chrysler???
  5. 2016 R/T, owned for 1 year 1 month and 17 days, driven for 50100 miles (not a typo or exaggeration), unable to use factory navigation...absolutely unacceptable! Out of warranty, no recall for my VIN. This is clearly an issue across all chrysler vehicles after doing one night of internet research. Are you paying attention Chrysler? Fix this or I will personally get the ball rolling on a class action law suit. that is all
  6. Or I could drill a hole big enough to fit a lightning cable or micro usb through and have a much smaller hole. Yes I saw that the tray and lid slide back...thought you were referring to notches for the cables. I read that wrong. The USB port charges my iPhone 6 just fine.
  7. I have done a thorough check and recheck, and don't see any notches. I do have the rubber stoppers and for now the cables are coming out from the gap in the lid, but what I want is a clean look....I guess I am probably going to have to drill a hole in the bottom or side of the console (inside) to achieve this :/
  8. Hey guys, I tried searching the forums but came up with nil on this subject. I'm loving my journey, but am disappointed and a little confused about routing power cables out of the center console. In my 07 Chrysler 300 there was a notch on the passenger side to easily and safely route cables out of the center console. Why does a 2016 Chrysler vehicle not have something this simple? Anyway I would like to hear and see how you all have routed your power cables in your DJ. Thanks
  9. Hello all, My new 2016 Journey RT has a built in 115V outlet and I have not been able to determine if the inverter is a pure sine or modified sine unit. I am hoping someone here may know the answer, so I am posting it for the Journey gurus to chime in on. Thanks in advance for any replies.
  10. Hey guys, I'm a photographer from Maryland and I just traded in my 2007 Chrysler 300 Touring on a 2016 Dodge Journey RT AWD. I have an obscure electrical question that I will be posting in the appropriate forum here in a few minutes, so if you're knowledgeable maybe you could help answer it. Thanks, CameraGuy P.S.: I attached a couple photos if my new ride for those that would like to see it
