It could be as simple as a bad battery. It wouldn't be the first time I've seen a newer battery fail. With that said, a low battery or dead battery causes all kinds of havoc with these newer vehicle electronics.

Window tint is one of my first mods to any vehicle I own. Looks great with the black exterior color too.

I really dislike the OEM tires. I think they're loud. Awesome, thanks!

Looks nice.. Congrats!

I'm a big fan of cooper tires. I'm sure they'll serve you well. The def. fill up the tire well better than the stockers. I may have to look into them when I need my OE tires replaced. Have you noticed any ride difference or noise level while driving?

It's either your controls or the blender door not adjusting properly. The dealer should be able to pull any error codes from the HVAC part of the computer. You could have a bad recirculation motor or a stuck blend door that isn't opening and closing properly. Could just mean you need a calibration performed by the dealer.

I'm a big fan of Cooper tires. I've had several sets and they've always done me well. When the stock tire wear out, I'll be looking at those for my DJ.. maybe a little bigger size too.

Well that seems to be the trend with other manufacturers, but for now, they're safe based on the article.

Thats a great color too. Congrats! Great looking DJ.

Agreed, I just bought mine a little over a year ago and still think it's a great looking vehicle. I can't lie though, I was hoping for a new redesign with some improvements but I'm good as it stands.

Looks like no change for 2018. https://www.newbestsuv.com/2018-dodge-journey/ " Speaking of the exterior design, the 2018 Dodge Journey will continue unchanged from 2017 model. We cannot say that its design is not handsome, but it starting to be old a bit."

I have a 2016 Crossroads with tinted windows and sometimes at night when it's really dark it's a little tough to see when backing up. I know others have put brighter light bulbs in and wanted to report back I did the same. However, details of the bulb are somewhat lacking. So, what I purchased was JDM ASTAR 50w Cree 7440 LED White reverse light bulbs. 6000k temp color so they're pretty white. These bulbs are for the DJ's with LED tail lights. The bulb is bigger than what you'd think, but they fit the housing without issue. I looked at several other bulbs and even asked sellers to recommend one knowing I was after brighter bulbs. This was one of the recommended ones over the original I was looking at. They were a little expensive, but I actually think they're worth the money in the end. Installation was fast an easy too. The brightness is at least double if not more, much brighter than the OEM stock bulbs so now I can actually see. Also the extra light adds to the clearness of the backup camera. Ebay Item number 331338226596. Hope that helps anyone who's interested. I have no before or after photos, but I assure you they are brighter. If you buy them, you'll be pleased.

If you keep wax on it, and keep the salt off the vehicle during winter, I don't see why you would need it. Now Pa has winters but I'm guessing not like you have in Ontario. I hit the car wash local to me that has the under carriage spray about once a week during bad weather conditions. But.. If your overly concerned, I would have it done sooner than later if your planning on keeping this vehicle for an extended period. Generally I keep a vehicle 3-5 years so doing stuff like under coating only helps the next owner.

This! Take it back, somethings not right.

haha, good info here. I didn't even know the headrests did this.. so, now I know..

People who don't use cruise control when on the highway. That grinds my gears haha. I hit the highway, and set the cruise. Then play the leap frog game with multiple cars on my way to work. And texting while driving. That one gets me too, while traving 80-90mph.. swerving all over the road while texting. Not good.

I have a 2013 Dodge Charger SRT in Billet Silver. Love this car!

Posting photos' would be helpful if you can.

Troll. Can't come into a forum, bitch and complain because "you" bought a 8 year old vehicle with 140k mileage and are having issues but never state what the issues are. Just doesn't make sense. How is someone suppose to help?!?

Yeah, that photo is worse than mine. I had the camera option installed shortly after purchase and actually had a bad camera. I also drive a SRT charger and the camera in that was better and why it was so noticable. I took it to the dealer and they replaced the camera and now both Dodges are very similar in quality. Before the swap, it was similar to yours in the photo. Very grainy and kinda blurry. Now, its not HD but it's good enough for me.

Brighter reverse lights would help. But I have similar results. Not bad during the day, but grainy at night. My SRT Charger has about the same results too, but at night the camera view seems better. I believe its from brighter reverse lights. At some point, I'm going to swap out the rear bulbs with brighter ones for a better view.

Congrats on a great looking DJ and welcome to the site!
