i have a 2011 mainstreet with about 10 k miles on it , i have noticed that the rear wheels do seem to collect more dust than the front but not enough for me to be worried about ,of course i dont do that much city driving. i did have the dealership at my last oil change they had to turn the front rotors due to a little vibration,wasnt to thrilled about that, as i said i thought they should have replaced the rotors but the service manger said they werent bad enought to be replaced.but i do have it on record and if i have any more problems they will be replacing them as rotors should last 50 to 100 k before having any problems.dont think they will last that long on my journey i have had dodge caravan for the last 15 yrs and never had any problems out of them and did my own brake jobs. will have to learn how to replace the rear disk as i have never changed any of theem before

has anyone actually installed the back up camera in their journey with the lock pic unit. and if so how hard was it to run the cable to the unit and how pleased are you with the way it works thanks

i called coastal about install and parts to add the back up camera he said the camera comes with a 21 foot cable to connect to the lock pic connecter so you mount it over lic plate and have to route the cable thur the hatchback and under carpet or how ever you want to run it. that sounds like the only hard part. wish you could add a gps that would run thur the touch screen also.want to order one but not sure how hard it would be to run the cable. Has any one done it yet? as of 10-14-2011 it would be a couple of more weeks untill they would be shipping any of the units.dont know if they are having a problem making the units or what ?

have a 2011 mainstreet and love it . keep meaning to ask the dealer about where the battery is located and replacement cost as my history with mopar batterys is they only last about 2-3 years. also i have the large display but without the back up camera i been seeing the lock pik and wondering if after it is installed would the back up camera come on after you put the car in reverse or do you have to activate it each time with the steering wheel buttons. one place my son checked for me wants $750. to install a system for me. any info would be helpfull about weather to try it myself. thanks

if your cars are still under dealer warrenty.it is a covered problem that they will take care of , they had to both sides of my 2011 at different times and they always gave me a free car rental while the repaire was being done.

if it is covered under the factory warr. ask them to provide a rental car as it is in for repaires and taking too long. every time my 2011 has been in the dealership for more than 2 nights for covered repaires they provide me with a rental car till it is fixed. i would be calling the phone number listed in the back of your warrenty book that is the main office over warrentys. and if couldnt get any help there i would take all my paperwork and go talk to a lawyer about what recorse you have

looks like a good price for what you rec. about $56. for each piece. will think of doing the same if and when i need to do mine . PLEASE tell us after doing them and later on how they are doing.

thought i had read somewhere that the hood on the journeys were made out of aluminum. so i checked out my 2011 mainstreet with a magnet and yes both the hood and the hatchback must be made out of alumiun. i knew the hood was made of real thin metal as washing it you dont want to push hard on it or while leaning over washing the bottom of the car dont lean on it as you can feel it flex real easy. hope the new metal holds the paint on, and we dont have no problems with them.

well i do have to admit. just got the oil changed again with about 10340 miles and they had to turn the front roters a tad they said due to the pulsesation i was feeling in the steering wheel,told them at that mileage i thought they should have replaced them since most of the miles was on the interstate. but at least if i do have any more problems i have it on record at the dealership. also they did a reflash on the computer for the trans, and radio,and the air condtioner for the problem of losing the settings on the air. still pleased with my journey

i wouldnt be worried about the missing shield as the trans and motor is not going to be protected by a cover made out of plastic . have had my d.j. 6months and hand wash and wax it often and have not ever noticed this. yes it probaly was a cost cutting reduction to save. but i wouldnt be worried about it.

2 questions has any one tried to remove the yellow warning stickers on the sun visers yet.? the viser feels like it is made of plastic and was wondering if it can be removed with some bumper sticker solvent? also wonder about the foot rest on the drivers side floor, could be removed or bent down to give a long leg person another inch so their leg could be straight with out being so cramped on long drive event

better be carefull about the rear windows when you roll them down. i had the same set and they were in the windows for over 2 weeks and i rolled the right one down while we were stopped and then started driving and before we were even going no more than 25mph it flew right out of the window channlle as the little stickey tape holding them in didnt work very good. ended up takeing the rears off and put them in the shed. but i love the front ones.

sorry to hear you are having a problem,but i would continue with the dealership until it is solved.i have a 2011 mainstreet with 8600 miles and have no problems with the brakes( hope that continues). only problem i have had was the metal that butts up to the bumper coming loose and they fixed the right side and now the left side is doing the same thing.it is going in next week to fix that and do another oil change. good luck on the brakes and let us know what happens or what you do

well now i know what that knob does now,had to go out last nite to check it out.LOL . My 2004 dodge van had a green light shinning down towards the center cup holders and showed up real good at nite on the ash tray and cups even thou you couldnt see the act. light shinning down from the roof . wish my mainstreet had that also, because it was just right while driving at night.

i bought the weather tech window visers that slip in the channle have used them for years with no problems. never liked the ones that stick on the paint. one word of warning tho,they sell them in 4 pcs.(front and rear) the front ones worked real good but the rear ones have tape that hold them in and we rolled the window down after a couple of days and was only going about 30 mph and 1 flew out of the window. stopped and got it but then later took them both out as the tape doesnt hold them to good. also i did notice a little more road noise or wind noice after installing them,as you wouldnt have this problem with the stick on kind.but to me the ones that fit in the channle look alot better. they cost about $90.oo U. S. and u can pick them up at any auto custom shop

also before you go looking for your transmission dipstick, there is none, has to be checked at the dealership.Dont even try looking for your battery. LOL

just called my local dealership and the mopar filters retail for $8.50 each and told him i wanted to get about 5 of them and told him i bought the car from them and he said he would discount the filters to $7.50 each which would be cheaper than buying them thur the internet as their price is 3 for 19.00 plus shipping.and buying them from the dealership i know they are genuine parts from mopar.( never know about buying stuff off of the internet if it is real or knock offs) just my 2 cents worth

glad to see you on the site, wish we could get the diesel option over here, what size is the engine and how is the performance of your journey, guess it gets great mileage..

i removed all the badgeing off the back of my 2011 mainstreet. LOL my wife didnt even notice untill i told her and then she asked me why, she was a little upset. told her it looked better and was eaiser to clean and wax without all that clutter. Was thinking about removeing the dodge from the front but it looks awfull tight for my big fat hands to get to the nuts on the backs

i added the weathertech ventvisors on my 2011 and really like them but one word of warning is when you buy them they come 4 to a set and the back window set dont stay in real good they are held in with some stickey tape on the edges and they will fly out of the window when you roll the window down. the wife still wanted me to keep them on the car so i had to put some rubber cement on the top edge that goes into the window channle.

since it is 2011 why not call the dealership and have them fix it .still under warrenty i assume ,so get it documented instead of tearing up the start button

i removed all mine from the back of my car they are held on stickey glue tape they can be pried off but the best way is to go to a auto parts store and buy a can of bumper sticker remover ( about $5.) less chance of doing any damage to the paint.

have had my 2011 crew for about 3 months,took it on a trip from alabama to las vegas for a month and half. drove real good and was a dream to drive on the road. gas mileage wasnt as good going out about 21 mpg on the freeway driving 70 to 80 mph. around town was getting about 19 mpg. the trip was about 2000 miles each way.coming home i started getting up to 30 to 32 mpg per tank doing the math each full fill-up the best was when i was going thur new mexico and oaklahoma and arizona . by the time i got back home I had about 5400 miles on it with no problems that most of the folks are talking about on this site. i just had the oil changed at the dealership and the one problem that some have had that was the peace of metal by the rear tail light that was loose and pushes out just about 1/8 to 1/4 inch. the salesman that sold me mine came out to talk to me and said he had just sold another journey and when i told him about my problem he showed me one just off the truck that was the same as mine and they need to put a clip in and chrysler is working to get it fixed. no problems with the brakes or batteries or any of the other problems and i hope it stays that way.as most things the more fancy they make them or load them up with electronics the more problems that can happen,but i havent tried to load any songs into the radio and only used the dvd 1 time

i just got my 2011 mainstreet and it has the alpine unit. sounds good i am from al. usa
