  1. A few days ago, thick white smoke starting coming from the engine compartment of my 6 week old Journey. It smelled like rubber or electronics burning. I shut off the engine, took a look under the hood and under the engine, I could not find anything burnt. Also I did not run thru any liquids that may have splashed on the engine. I can not allow my family to ride in this vehicle now. It is currently at the dealership, I hope they find the cause. It did not smoke again after that. I also have other problems, the engine growling noise at low rpms, the loud grinding noise when turning left, they are also replacing the computer, they said there where codes that indicated it needed to be replaced. But my main concern is the smoking engine. If anyone can help, please let me know. Thanks Steve
  2. I just got my Journey about a month ago, I have been having a lot of problems with it. My keyless entry will make the alarm go off sometimes when I just push the unlock button and while the alarm is sounding the key fob is disabled. I have to pull out the regular key unlock the door, when I insert the fancy key in the ingnition, the alarm disables and goes back to normal. The dealership said there was a TSB on this problem, and changed the receiver module, which is what I told them to do to begin with, but they had to wait for Chrysler to authorize it. It stopped the problem until yesterday, it did it again. I am pretty sure the same module is going out again. Before they changed it, the problem occured every other day, after it was replaced two weeks went by before it happened again. I am bringing it in Monday. Other problems are, the engine has a sucking growling noise at around 1800-2000 RPMs during slight acceleration, very annoying, they can't figure that one out? Another noise coming from the rear left suspension, squeak or creeky noise, very loud, they can't fix that one eihter. They said wait until it gets worse. This is a brand new vehicle, I am very disappointed in it. Worse buy every. Steve
