fed up

I had the same issue! I have an '09 RT and they ended up replacing the muffler and the sound went away. Now my dash is rattling when I'm on the interstate. I have an appt with a Chrysler rep today hopefully they will fix it. It's been on thing after another with this vehicle. I will never buy a Dodge again!

Yes it only happens when going up a hill or even a small hill! Sooooooooo frustrating for a BRAND NEW vehicle to sound this way!!

Ok by no means am I glad you have experienced the same problem but that is the exact same thing my 09 Journey is doing and I am glad that I am not the only one out here! I explain it to people the same way like blowing in a glass bottle! It has been to the dealership four times now, they had their DM come last month to decide what to do with it. I haven't heard from her and that has been since Jan 12. I filed lemon law paper work and my husband is taking it to the dealership on 2/22 one last time to see if they can repair it. What ever happened with yours? They act clueless at this place! Do you live in Central FL by chance?

Thank you so much, I will print that out and take it to another dealership!

I will let the dealership know about the rattle. As far as the honk or vibration noise, it sounds more metallic like it's grinding or vibrating against something. This is very frustrating! I will never buy another Dodge again!

I've had my 2009 Dodge RS since October....I am having the same issues that most of you are having. I've taken it to the dealership 4 times, the last time a Chrysler rep flew to Florida to listen for the noise. That was Jan 11,2010 and I haven't heard from her yet. NO call, no return phone calls....same noise! So far they have replaced the power steering pump and the reservoir. I was told that there is nothing more they can do. This is not acceptable to have a loud noise on a brand new vehicle. The mechanic rode with me after my 2nd trip to the dealership and he heard the noise. I hear the noise when I go up hill, turn right or left, or right when I am accelarating from a complete stop position. I also have a rattle in my dash when I am driving around 60 mph or so. The dealership joked and said that is why I have a radio to turn up! I didnt' find that funny after 4 visits. What have you all decided to do about this?
