My dealer replaced the right rear lateral link at c. 86000km . . .

H is 210 km/h W is 270 km/h . . .if you are curious

Just got Conti's installed at CTC in London area $849.35 (including replacement tires $689.96 Replacement adv. 39.96 TSF 21.72 Tx 97.71). No charge for install and no shop charges with coupon either online or in CTC Driver mag. Pressure sensors are fine with the 235 size. I had a quote of c$285 ea. for Kumho's. I looked at Pirelli's from Costco (reduced price on June 02 but understand wear is a problem, and I looked at Falken's (72000 KM) they have a W rating (H were special order and more $) and were said to be noisy.

I had a similar problem - the dealer replaced the batteries in both fobs and said that the manuf. may have had batt. around for quite awhile before installing them . . .offered as an explanation?!

2011 R/T AWD @ 71000K with Kuhmos and about 1/16" from wearbar . . .looking for a tire with longer life! The Kuhmos have been served well just not getting the distance I had hoped for. . .suggestions?

Something that may help with the brake issues. . . .regular "brake service" i.e. cleaning and lubricating have helped me out! I currently am a shade under 60k.

I also had experienced key not recognized and then a notice of low battery etc. It would come and go. I thought there must be something wrong other than a battery problem since I got similar results with the second fob. However it turns out the problem(s) were solved when the dealer replaced the batteries in both fobs. I quote the dealer "who knows how long the batteries/fobs had been around before installation".

I have a Husky liner in the front and Weathertech in the second and third rows. I have noticed that the right edge curls on the second row mat. No problem with Husky in the front row. I also have a Husky cargo liner. with no problems of curling. I did like the looks of the Weathertech but they did not have the front liners at the time so bought Husky for the front.

I think that the dealer servicing department has a lot to do with one's satisfaction or not with a vehicle. I have an 11 DJ R/T and any time I have taken the vehicle in for servicing (oil changes and tire rotations are free for 3 years) the dealer has been exemplary in finding/fixing problems - they offer a courtesy service driving to/picking you up to wherever and anything that requires an overnight they have always supplied a loaner. I have had the following items fixed/replaced. . .8" screen (one time on backing up the screen went black - they contacted Chrysler about it and the $2000 screen was replaced), front rotors (a slight vibration - barely noticeable and not always occurring), both rear axle oil seals (discovery of slight leak in one during an oil change).

2011 DJ all wheel R/T Oct 2012 - 35000 Km -in for oil change and dealer noticed rear axle oil seals leak - replaced under warranty.

I have noticed that on a few occasions, while listening to Sirius radio on my 2011 R/T that it will change stations without my input. . .anyone else experiencing the same thing?

I decided to update my gps . . . www.garmin.com/chrysler/ I am disappointed in the update (it installs O.K) its just that they could do a much better job for updating roads and POI in Canada. I used it in Ottawa and found that an address I entered which went by the U.S. embassy and the road disappeared, entances to some places were out of date. Gas stations in Toronto which are non existent and have been for a few years apparently according to a city dweller, and some roads in newer subdivisions that have been around for a couple of years are not available. I also have a portable garmin device and have the lifetime update 4x's per year and I think it is more up to date. And for all Tim Horton's lovers - not up to date and could be included in POI without having to type it in!!

I had a similar problem with the right front brake making a noise on braking and the dealership couldn't find any issue. At the 25000 km mark my wife happend to mention there was a slight vibration in the front when braking gently. . .I took it in and the they replaced the front rotors under warranty, I did pay for the normal brake service which was coming due on the next oil change anyway.
