  1. no problem with mine......i did notice after installing my led bulbs in the fog lights that when i turn on my headlights my fog lights come on automatically without having to use the headlight button, never noticed that happening before i installed the led bulbs. any others notice this. its fine with me but was wondering if any one else notice it as well....
  2. i would get his offer in writing, so when they screw it up big time, you will have it in writing using a power tool on this cap is crazy as you just hand tighten it snug as any more and you might damage the o ring..... be careful they dont damage the bottom side of the oil filter housing it will probably be damaged and the whole unit is $$$$ I would also be allowed to watch them do the repair in person so you will see what they are doing and if they are messing it up again.also make sure they are using the right oil filter as there are 2 different ones for the 3.6 engine
  3. you had better reread it ,that stipulation is in the max warranty as i bought one in 2014.maybe it was changed but that is what in my paperwork and when i asked the rep on it he confirmed that..... one of our members just recently had a transmission replaced under his max life, think he said it would have cost him about 5500 without the warranty , also the travel insurance when broke down goes away after a certain amount of time and miles
  4. use the settings in the radio ,,,look in your manual and or go b the dealership for more info
  5. i would take it back with the paperwork and or the credit card paperwork and raise holy hell with them and make them reimburse you for what a new cap will cost,if they dont want to help you demand to see the manger or general manger or owner till you get it done. to remove the cap i would try a strap wrench that would go around the top of the cap something like a oil ratchet only with a rubber strap. good luck
  6. have no idea to me it would be dealer time.good luck
  7. well if it was dodge that fixed it the first ( what was the problem and how much$$) it should have been covered if it was the same part...also yrs ago i had a transmission problem on my old caravan the warranty was up about like yours about 2-3 hundred over i called up north when the dealership said they couldn't help me and the help center up there called the dealership and told them to fix it free since it was so close to the 36 k, every dealership is different and everybody's story is different, but its not just dodge its ford,and checy, and the imports.good luck on what ever you decided to do...
  8. well i dont buy parts off eBay for the reason if you get the wrong ones you are stuck waiting or whatever, also a person is never sure of the quality, there is no reviews on these parts ,but the seller seems to have a great rating.....parts from your local dealer with oem parts will be of better quality and if you have a problem they are close by.... e450 vs 120 dont know the difference but its up to you. since the part # are not quiet the same if you can afford it go for the dealer parts......
  9. sounds good but how the in **** would know, depends on condition a lot of other things, have it checked out by your local mech you trust. good luck
  10. i typed in 2011 journey serpentine belt replacement u tube and it brought up a bunch of sites one showing directions on how to replace the belt but i cant copy the address and have it come back up, any ways just keep looking and you will find it,also a 2011 caravan would be the same way might check that out. article stated not to hard to do now replacing the belt tensioner would add some hardship and cost but i would do that as well since your journey is 7 yrs old and going thur salt and winter weather your tensioner probally needs to be changed ......your choice
  11. well your belt may have stretched a bit, and since you gave no mileage on the journey but with the age it wouldn't hurt to replace it but if you do ALWAYS replace the belt tensioner as well and it isn't cheap on this journey but they do weaken over age and also when you release the tension on it, it may not go back to the proper tension and let the new belt come off and get ruined...this happened to my fathers van yrs ago so dont cheap out on it. also the noise could be from one of the other pulleys that the belt turns but since you say its a chirp and not a squeal or hum i would just do the belt first, and have never tried it on my journey but it does look tight ,but look on u tube there should be a video on how to do it.
  12. speedo shows 42624, as far as i seen most of the tone rings are built into the axle themselves, the sender unit that reads the tone should be able to be replaced but i have no knowledge of the cost or work there. good luck
  13. well he said that by changing the switch did make them come on and go automatically all the time which shouldn't be a big deal it would just burn the bulbs out a little sooner than normal,if you didnt want to spend the money on adding the ambient senser as needed. with them on full time would just be an added safety feature i guess.
  14. mine has been doing that lately have a 2014 journey i think its more of a wiring problem than the camera . because it wont work at first or it flickers and then a couple of stops later on it starts working again.. oh well till some one finds the cause we all will be in the dark
  15. that is your electronic throttle control symbol if it is on solid all the time you have some time to get it checked, if it is flashing that means you need to get it looked at right away
  16. first off is it the org battery? even if its been changed have a load test done on it to see if it is still good. also check all your connections on the battery, yes it would be a pain to have to actually check the battery under the wheel compartment but the connectors could be corroded or loose. check all other connections as well get rid of the easy and cheap fixes first before diving into bigger and more expensive options...
  17. reminds me of when i hit a small submerged stump with my ski boat letting water into the lower unit on the down drive. mechanic said well it is a 99 cent O Ring that got cut or nicked but the labor to replace it was somewhere around $ 400. for the labor...oh well live and learn
  18. why not take your journey by your local dealership and have them look at it and tell your for sure what you have or you could call them and ask them..
  19. well 6.5 yrs on a battery you were due for a non start issue this winter if it hadnt happened when it did, and the weather is a lot better now than it would have been in a couple of months. also probally would have cost more with all the problems you ran into if a garage was doing the install this winter. count your self lucky i would guess
  20. of course you can just look for tires that are advertised as white letter you might have to look around but i am sure you can find them, but to be honest i just seen a suv with wlt on it and it didnt look that good.
