  1. Too Cool
    Dadof5 got a reaction from Summer Solstice in Reliability   
    Let's face it, FCA products aren't the most reliable vehicles on the road.  But I am hugely disappointed in my Journey because it hasn't exploded into the giant disaster the internet said would happen.  Thinking it must be a fluke, I bought a Grand Caravan just for entertainment value.  It too has badly let me down, with nothing going wrong.
     
    Seriously though, both my Dodges were at least $10k less than the nearest alternative.  If they are a bit less reliable than other brands, I can live with that.  $10k will buy a LOT of repairs.  And even the most reliable car on the road still needs some repairs.

    Dadof5 got a reaction from NavalLacrosse in What drains Dodge Journey's battery when switched off?   
    I have a 2017 SXT I bought new in early 2018.  When it was 9 months old, the battery was stone dead after being parked 6 days.  The dealer blamed the dashcam, even though the outlet is switched.  After charging it for 1/2 a day so it could be tested, they said nothing was wrong with the battery.  They were nice and didn't charge me $140 for no fault found.  The very next morning, it was stone dead again.  Rather than waste another day and potentially pay $140 for nothing, I just bought a new battery on my dime.  No problem since, and I do leave the dashcam plugged in.

    LOL, we had an old AAA Trip-tik with us that was maybe more useful than the nav.
