Alas at 65,000 Kilometers my Journey is no more...
A very good road runner no issues and still very happy with it.
Rear ended and totaled, some $18,000 in damage and twisted frame. now in the market for a gently used 2011 R/T
All I can say is the active head restraints work
-
Bounce, Did any one do this in the end and have photos?
-
I also got the letter and at 24K my pads and rotors still look and feel ok, but since I didn’t see any deductable in it and I'm 8 months into the car ill get them swapped closer to the 40k limit get my moneys worth…
-
I think it looks even better than the 2011 Dodge
-

20,000 kilometers later I'm a very happy Journey owner still. Other than regular servicing no visits to dealer.
Down side it's drinking gas like there’s no tomorrow, but I've a heavy right foot..
Up side it's great in the white stuff, even fun to drive in the wet it's solid really have to push it to misbehave. Did a round trip to Ottawa up through Algonquin park returning on hwys and it was incredibly relaxing drive.
Iphone control is great..
So far so good

Just followed and passed a new journey on the DVP, love the new tail lights, looks good on the car not sure about the new front grill..

Other than the cool interior, well compared to the 80"s one ive got now..and thats the R/T, I'd like to get the new tail lights but the rest of the changes ummmm...
The grill and cross hairs don't do it and lost the "Ram" and ive already got the side spears/door protectors.

The 3.5lt engines been out a few eons...
Must be a few bolt on goodies? turbos, superchargers ect. its the same engine as quite a few dodges and chyslers..has it been breathed on?
-
I cant do it either, It's my wife she the one that throttles the sales guy to a good deal... and that its a great dealership
Me i look go "oh its so shiny where do i sign" lol
-
I have to add this, I did the full gold extended warrenty with my 2004 Caravan, used the car program once had to jump through hoops to get it.. servicing was a horrible experiance, pushy sales guys the works.. halfway through lease moved to another dodge dealership a little out of my way but a world of change.. the old one is no longer there shocking..lol
On my 2008 Caravan we declinded it and brought from a better dealer, now over all i think i saved with not getting the package, due to haggling the first 6 services free and that the cost of oil and tire rotation isnt too high, car went in under a warrenty fix they gave me a car no questions asked..
Now have a Journey happy with it, haggled the free sevices declinded the warrenty only plan to keep it 4 years possably 5.. between end of old lease and buying new car arriving was given a loaner over a period of 3 weeks so i will be sticking to my dealer for years to come. Its all about service, and they are good.

Cheers
I cant think why it wont, its in the same location as my Dodge Caravans trim... but idiots with shopping trollys you might not be so safe from lol

Trim installed..... was directed to body shop by my dealer to get a better installed job,when it came to pay.. My dealer had paid for me, now thats service for you. cant fault them at all.. Chevalier Chrysler also known as Aurora Chrysler north of the GTA.
Have driven out of my way to use this dealer as the service ive had for my last 3 dodges has been fantastic.
Picked this up on thursday 400Km done already..love it
Also picked up my chrome trim package, now need to find some one to install it..some one with level eye and steady hands
Once attached will repost, any one else brought the Mopar trim yet?
