Good Evening I took my 2009 Dodge Journey SXT to get the oil changed today, I do it beacuse they offer a 54.95 deal for four oil changes. You can't buy he supplies for that price. Lately I have had a vibration sometimes from the right front. So while there I had the dealer look. They called me up and said it was the crossover pipe, first they said it would be covered under warranty but then realized I am out of warranty. They said the pipe was vibrating against the subframe. They said it was no big deal, and wouldn't hurt anything but if I want to fix it, the cost would be $200 total for parts and install. I had thought there was some kind of recall or something on this before. Anyone recall anything about this. Thanks

I had to have my 2009 towed to the dealer, they said it was a bad battery only after 38,000 miles. They wouldn't cover under warranty. I did email Chrysler and their customer service did end up reimbursing me for the cost minus a $25 fee... Mind you the battery in my 2002 Jeep went from 2002 until 2009 before it needed replacement.

I had a small stone chip by my back door and got the touch up paint from the dealer. It worked well. Its no longer a brush but a roller tip type thing and unless you really really look hard you cannot see it

The computer is set from the factory to advise the first oil change early, due to break in. After that my average is about 4100 miles. We Have little over 13k on the clock now. But we have owned ours since June 08. I realize times have changed and allows for longer service lifes, etc. But I just have had it ingrained in my brain since I learned to do my first oil change years ago every 3000 miles. I have waited out on the Journey for the computer to tell me, but I wouldn't go past 4500 without having to change it based on my own mindset LOL.

I went to my dealer to try and get steel wheels and was told that if I put smaller tires on my SXT AWD then my 19" I would void my warranty. Does anyone have a part number on the rims? 16 or 17"

It happens on alot of cars, not just the Journey. Sometimes on an incline the increased load of the vehicle basically sittting back if you will on its internal mechanisms causes a clunk or drive train noise. The reason you don't get it on flats is the load is evenly distributed and not cause force on the drivetrain.

This has happened to others. It has been attributed at least once to a connector in the switch pod not being pushed in all the way.

Ours did the same thing a few times, they did the update and said it should be good. But when the Fiance went to drive it away from the dealer it did it again. She went right back in and they ordered us a complete new audio unit and controller??, should be in next week. Radio is working fine now though. They did give us a coupon for our next oil change for free though!! Which is great our first oil change was a thank you freebie, and the next is free now too!!

We are averaging about 22-24 mixed driving with our V6 SXT V6

We have the nav system in our Journey and love it. I don't think the voice command is that slow at all. So glad we went with the Nav, the screen up top makes all the diffrence.

I dunno this whole scuffing and acetone thing makes me think it will make more damage than what I wanna protect it from. I am really surprised though that Dodge didn't put a rubber scuff pad or something on there

I have the 19" wheels and love the chrome polish look. Ididn't have a choce as we bought an awd. I think the ride is great. I am not looking forward to buying replacements though, and I am wondering about when I buy winter tires as I am in New Hampshire. I was wondering if it would be possible to buy some 17" steel wheels and mount winters on them for my winter set. Not sure if I could run 17"s on a Journey that came with 19"

Is this on all dodge Journeys or just something your dealer does?

WOW thats cool. I got 2 sets of keys and a sales contract good for 48 monthly payments

I was wondering if anyone knew of a website where you can enter your VIN number and find out exactly what is on your "build-sheet" for the Journey. I had some questions about somethings on our SXT and it would be great to get an exact listing.

I have the Nav and love it. It puts everything you need to see at a normal viewing height. With the Voice Command and wheel controlsyou never have to use the joystick that much and when watching the rearview camera or DVD movies when stopped its perfect. I am curious where the subwoofer is located I have the Infinty system but not sure where the sub is hiding!!

I like the slide feature, however one thing I noticed if you put your IPOD or Cell phone in the compartment when the armrest slides forward it can and will hit right at screen level could be an expensive slide forward

I was told on my system with MyGig, Nav and Rear DVD I would have to buy a cable from Dodge that plugs into the control box of the radio and then into my IPOD, that it was around 30 dollars and is not included. So from what I am reading this seems like it wouldn't work and I am basically buying the cable that comes free with lesser radios and the only way I can really connect is to use the AUX port on the radio? That sucks if its true, I was hoping to order one and have it show me all the ipod info on screen

When we picked up our Journey the Sirus was already working. The salesman told me NOT to call Sirius right away, to wait until the service shut off and then call and get my one year free activation. He said by doing it this way I could end up with quite a bit of free sirius radio before my year is even started. He said on average it takes 2-3 months for Sirius/Chrysler to catch up and knows of a few that got almost 6 months of free service before they had to call. I figure I will give it a shot, been 2 weeks now and still going strong

I have tried and it won't work. I also tried connecting a portable HD to the USB port and it will come on but won't read it, the system acts if nothing is attached. Only a thumb drive will work as far as I have been able to see so far.

I am not sure if I am going to get the Mopar ones or aftermarket when they come availiable

Is this just a Canada thing or do all new Journey owners get this coupon?

Just a quick hello, my fiance and I took delivery of a 09 Dodge Journey SXT AWD, loaded in Pearl White about 2 weeks ago. We chose the SXT over the R/T due to the fact we didn't want the leather and we didn't want to wait. So far its been great and we are averaging about 25mpg with the V6. Only a couple things I have noticed is the Sirius Radio seems to lose signal quit a bit and why Dodge didn't put drain in the cooler bins so as Ice Melts they drain out. See you around
