I have had this happen twice already and have not been able to shut it off. We have pressed everything on the remote.... This last time it continued for several minutes before we were able to finally shut it off. We opened the door, which in turn set off the actual car alarm, and put the key in the ignition. Once we took the key out of the ignition and pressed the panic button it stopped. Not sure if it was a coincidence or not. I am actully going to bring this to the dealers attention to see if a TSB has been issued for this problem.

I signed up for my gas card on 5/31. I actually somehow received my pin number before the card. When I called the 800 number on the letter the woman stated that it would be another couple of weeks before I received my card and that somehow the computer generated my welcome letter out of sequence. Much to my surprise I received the gas card today!! It hasn't even been a full 4 weeks yet...

I actually just posted on a different forum about this topic. 4 days after purchasing mine I started to hear a metal against metal sound upon acceleration. However, mine was worse when the car was cold and would then cease once the car had been running for a few minutes. After 1st being told it was the power steering pump, which was replaced and NOT the problem it went back to the dealer again. This time they were able to hear the noise loud and clear. Turns out it was the heat shield that covers the exhaust system. It was loose therefore vibrating against the exhaust system causing the metal again metal sound. Not sure if this describes what is happening to you or not......but it's worth a shot! Good luck! I hope they can locate your problem soon.....

I've had my Journey for just about 3 weeks now and have had it back the dealer 3 times for the same thing. About 4 days after purchasing the vehicle I started to experience a "metal against metal" sound upon acceleration. It would only do it for the first 4-5 minutes that the car was running and then it would stop. I brought the car back to the dealership and of course the car wouldn't make the noise when they drove it. It progressivly got louder prompting my second call to the dealer. I was told that a bulletin had been issued regarding the power stearing pump and that what I was describing met the criteria. They replaced the pump. That night the noise started again. Called the dealer 1st thing in the morning made another appointment to bring it in. This time they were able to hear the noise loud and clear! Turns out the heat shield that covers the exhaust system was loose, therefore vibrating against the exhaust. (Thus causing the metal on metal sound I was hearing) They tightened the shield and so far so good... No more noise. Not sure if this will help anyone else, but it's worth a shot!

I too just traded in my 2007 Caliber for a Journey SXT... It's the best thing I've ever done! I love it!!!!! I had been watching and waiting for the Journey since last summer when I first started getting emails from Dodge about it. You will not regret your decision.
