I hear you.......Nobody as of yet has been able to give me a good answer. My dealer said it may be faulty soldering and the cold shrinks it even more.....If you have an answer or just a theory please speak up as enquiring minds need to know...... Terry

Debra I am very happy to hear you are happy. As I have said before Chrysler should be very happy they retained a customer such as yourself after all the negative publicity here. Kudos to Franklin Dodge for making this happen and a big raspberry to Gary Mathews Motors for all their stupidity. Terry

I would tend to agree why indeed would you buy a carpeted all weather floor saver mat. Personally I have Weather Tech mats and they seem to do a great job in my Journey.Certainly not saying anyone is wrong just my own opinion..... Terry

Couldn't agree more, the negative publicity Chrysler received as I said is irreparable. I agree with Journeyman the fault really lies on the hands of the original dealership as you mentioned not only did they drive Debra to another dealership with their shoddy explanations and workmanship and who will be the recipient of all this negativity? CHRYSLER and they don't deserve it. Count me as a very satified 25 year customer. Debra, if you could please let us know the original dealer, I am so disgusted with this whole thing I may forward this entire Forum to Chryler, to let them know how they are being represented. I also agree that Franklin Dodge should be commended for trying to rectify someone else's butcher job. Just my personal opinion....... Terry

Thanks, had been thinking of doing that. Terry

What shifter knob did you use?. terry

I was curious that's all, as to why go to that expense and hassle because both years are probably the same, but Totemus posted his reasoning. Terry

Just to settle my inane curiousity, Why? Terry

I will echo the sentiment, Welcome Aboard, there are many people here, that will go out off their way to help you. Take advantage of that and read the archives as much as you can, it's invaluable info. Terry

Journeyman425 Can I activate this on a 2010 Dodge Journey? Terry

Congrats both on a birthday and the new car! I was beginning to wonder if you were a male.....LOL. Terry

Clay barring is an old restoration trick used by many a car restorer. The process is to get a clay bar (Canadian Tire) which in itself is a bit of a misnomer as it really looks like a big clump of "silly putty". Well it's easier to explain if you watch this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yfEfLGL59GI or http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezWMMazr5zo or http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TvtVbqywxYs or http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PRwgnhCgwJE or http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EtkQYGhl2Wk. There are so many videos on this subject on You Tube that I can't list them all. Terry

Thank you, it is so nice to have. Terry

Finally warm here, so washing the car with the many puddles around here is futile, we don't use a lot of salt here so that isn't as big a problem as it is further east. I am really itching to get my "toy" out and drive it. Terry

I agree I do all my vehicles once a year, it helps get off all the road grime etc. you will be pleased. Don't do it too often though. Terry

Journeyman425, you are a terrific addition to this forum. Thankfully my DRL's are on because I live in Canada. Terry

Interesting that they list this photo as a 2011, when it looks like my 2010 dash. Terry

Such a shame this incident came to this, it is not something anyone should have to endure. Chrysler should be very happy that she got another Journey and not something else, the bad publicity about this incident they received here is really irreparable, and if it becomes more common knowledge on the internet, even worse. Personally I am very happy with my 2010 Journey and it's sunroof. I have been very fortunate with it, it is very weatherproof and has never leaked, but for Chrysler to not acknowledge or take responsibility for this IMO is a huge mistake. Just my personal opinion........ Terry

That's what is beautiful about our countries, the freedom of choice, I sympathize and understand your choice, but will never question it..... B) Terry

At last someone who understands that Regina is Canada's Vacation Capital...........not Terry

Brushed some snow off of it, cleaned off the driveway it's sitting on......... Does that count as something? Terry

There are several ways of looking at your arguement, the main one is that your 3800 lb. beast has only 4 contact points with the road, each of these are probably only about 40 sq. in. Michelins are not the cheapest tire nor are they even close to the most expensive. I guess the question becomes "what is your safety and your family's safety worth to you. The Yohama's are probably very good tires, they were more money where I live. I bought my Michelin Latitude HP's at my local Cosco after getting prices from several tire dealers around my city. Yes I was somewhat surprised at the cost, but I knew going iin a 19" tire was going to be more money, just a simple fact of the economics at this time. This is something I had considered when I originally bought the car 4 years ago. As I have said in the past, I am very happy with my tires, especially considering the winter we have had out here. Just my own thoughts on this subject...... Terry

I would have to agree with Rolly, I am certainly not getting the gas mileage he is getting (lucky guy) but 21 is much too high. I have been using my remote start and letting the car "warm" up more than ever this year because out here on the Canadian Prairies we are experiencing a very cold winter......how cold you ask....even the lawyers here have their hands in their own pockets.....I digress ....sorry to everyone in the field of law Back to the topic at hand, there is no doubt idling can drastically affect gas mileage, I have seen mine jump 2 litres/100 kms. in less than 5 minutes of idling. Terry

I certainly agree with FrogBox, Kumho is just doing what is asked of them, it's not their fault, if anyone is to blame it would be Chyrsler, and they were just trying to get as good a ride as possible. Kumho was just adhering to the specs as Chrysler asked for. I am one of those people that has replaced the 225/55/19 stock Kumhos with 235/55/19 Michelin Latitudes HP's. As I have mentioned before, yes I would have liked to get more mileage from them am I blaming them No. In my case and my case only, I have no real complaints with my Kumhos even though others may have some legimate concerns. Terry

I hear yah......... Terry
