If you are experiencing a lack of power or strange performance with your AWD 2009 model year contact your dealer and ask them about a fix for your exhaust system. They have been finding some early production 2009 model had cross threaded O2 sensors leaky exhaust causing poor performance and erratic running. 100% fixed under warranty.

We had our R/T AWD transfer case "PTO" seal replaced and they found the exhaust problem while doing the work. Also found the EXACT same problem on another R/T at the same dealer.

Quality control is alive an well, eh?

I have started to get rotten egg fumes(sulphur?) on an '09 R/T AWD with 74,000km. Happens when you stop at an intersection and especially if the engine has been running for a while. Fumes seem to "catch up" to you and enter the passenger compartment. Have tried different gasoline refiners but it doesn't help, so am wondering if the problem may be related to the PTO seal issue noted above. Anyone having similar problems or could offer suggestions for corrective action?

So if I have the Unit with Nav, migig, and all, does that mean I can't contrtol my Ipod? Does anyone know which models are available and what each one does/

P.S. Still a rockin' automobile, and Iove it.

I have the REN radio and also received an iPod cable with the car. I don't have the navigation system. My iPod Nano displays it's contents on the radio screen when connected with the cable supplied. A great system.

According to the Canadian brochure, listed under Packages, Family Value Group, it states "Dual-integrated child booster seats are available as a free standing option on SXT and R/T"

The cable plugs into a matching connector in the upper glove box.

Thanks mjm48 for the help. I did find the receptacle in the glove box and was able to plug the cable end into it with some difficulty. The receptacle is fixed to the back of the glove box and is facing down which makes insertion of the plug awkward. However, I have been able to play the iPod contents through the radio system and that is what I wanted to do. Thanks again

This is in response to the question about a front license bracket for Canadian vehicles. Picked up my new Journey on Friday and found there is no bracket just 2 holes drilled into the front bumper(stategically positioned by a template supplied by Chrysler) and 2 self tapping stainless steel screws holding the license plate at the top. The bottom is unsecured and I know it is only a matter of time before it gets caught on something and gets ripped right out of the screw holes. Obviously no expense was spared by Chrysler on this one! There has got to be a better way.

Picked up my Journey R/T Friday and am wading through the manuals learning about all the great stuff that it has on it. The radio is a MyGig model REN. Does anyone know whether an iPod Nano can be connected to the radio to either download the folders onto the HDD or at least play what is on the iPod. If so, do you connect to the AUX jack or the USB port or somewhere else? The multimedia system Users Manual refers to a Universal Customer Interface(UCI) manual but I didn't receive one and have been unsuccessful finding one online. I do have a cable that I found in the glove box with 1 end that will fit the iPod, and a strange looking connector on the other end. This might be the cable I need but don't know where it plugs into the radio. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Picked up my Journey R/T AWD yesterday. 4 months from order to delivery. Rides and handles well.

Any pics of it. Curious to what it looks like. Just might have to pick one up. Mine did not have a front bracket.

If I ever get my Journey,(on order since May 6) I will take a picture of the front license plate holder for you.

Ordered mine (SXT w AWD, convience I, third row, and child boosters) in early May and it arrived on August 18th! Took a long time to get any info from the dealer but was told at the end of the day that the plant has incurred some shutdowns. A little disappointing at the time line but at least its here.

Does anyone know if the journey has a license plate holder for the front available? I live in nevada and the law says;

Front plates are optional only if 1) the vehicle was not designed for a front plate and 2) the manufacturer did not provide an add-on bracket or other means of displaying the front plate.

So I want to know that driving without it is legal here.

Thanks!

BTW I have had her a month...and still love her....

They supply front license plate holders on canadian vehicles, so they are available

Just heard that my Journey R/T, ordered on May 6, 2008 should arrive by August 25. Not bad! Only 3-1/2 months if it arrives by then. Sure hope it is worth the wait after driving a Pacifica for 3+ years.
