  1. Better news. Took it to the local dealer and insisted that their best tech do the work. Using the scan tool (I think), the tech reset the radio and it now works correctly. Not exactly sure what he did but, because we were "come-backs" the labor was waived. Also installed a new rear wiper blade at no cost, though the Mopar blade, made in Japan, was $21. The UConnect website sez that no firmware updates are pending, after I entered the VIN (https://www.driveuconnect.com/support/dodge.html) Thanks for your responses. Appreciate the help. Now hafta fix the small coolant leak. And I don't think that the plugs have ever been replaced (156K miles).
  2. Howdy, y'all. Daughter's 2012 Journey (3.6l, 156K mi) has coupla electrical problems. Firstly, the radio, UConnect Touch 4.3" screen, is blank. To fix a related problem, recall T47 ("Steering Wheel Wiring"), she took it to a local dealer, and asked to have the UConnect system checked. The tech assigned to the workorder told the service writer that the system must be replaced. The part alone is $400. The steering-wheel wiring recall was addressed with the installation of coupla wiring sleeves, but the Journey was released with even more problems. Now, the 4-way flashers don't work, nor does F and R a/c. Ventilation fan also doesn't work. I phoned the service writer and complained, and she told me what I expected: "Bring it back and we'll look at it." Oh, and the bill was $160 for "inspection." I phoned FCA owner support at (800) 992-1997 and filed a report. I don't accept that a vehicle is released to the owner with more circuit failures. Obviously the tech didn't bother to check. I read that the UConnect Touch problem can be fixed by pulling fuses to initialize the box. Also found a service bulletin, 08-048-11 Revision A, that describes a firmware update to fix another problem that daughter complained about, and that was high radio volume when starting engine. Anybody seen this before, and what's the fix?
