    I realize this is easy for me to say BUT before you give up on the manufacturer
    try another dealer because that's all they are "franchised dealers".
    There can be a world of difference in response or care given between
    any 2 of these sales/service points be they a block or 100 miles apart.

    I would say your best source would be a recycler/junkyard to pay reasonable price.

    bigtsr got a reaction from dhh3 in 2010 Dodge Journey SXT ESP/BAS light and Traction Control Light on   
    Past posts would indicate a speed sensor (transmission/wheel) has failed regarding cruise control,
    the brake light could be a indicator of a bad brake switch assy and again your right this could be
    a player in the cruise problem.

    Rule of thumb has always been when the oil change indicator comes on/at least every 6 months/
    whatever mileage you personally feel comfortable with or can afford.
    Yea can see the GM dealer writing up that "failure to do maintenance" report.

    Welcome to the forum.
    You can check for recalls and other info here:

    It would sound at first read that your turn signal/wiper control stalk has failed either
    that or what is specified as the electrical "clockspring" in the steering wheel.
    I would recommend having a dealer look at it as it is an electrical problem.

    Welcome to the forum.
    You can not disarm the horn overall but you can turn the horn
    off when using the key fob and you do this via/thru the settings
    screen in the radio.
    Be sure that when you get in the DJ that you are not accidentally
    hitting the door LOCK button as you get in as this will actuate
    horn beeps once you close the door.

    Welcome to the forum.
    There have been past posts about similar strange happenings.
    They have related to the door regulator module or broken
    wire in the loom between cabin and engine compartment.
    You may want to try resetting the TIPM/computer link
    by disconnecting the battery at the negative jumper post
    for 10 - 15 minutes.

    I believe if your a automotive entusiast or live in an enviromentally crappy air
    quality (next to a steel mill) this would be the way to go , having said that I
    apply "Nu-Finish " polymer 2x a year from the day I pick them up and I have
    never clay barred any of my cars.

    bigtsr got a reaction from jkeaton in Driver side window stops going up halfway randomly ?   
    I would say that if your not dententing to the "auto" point
    of course it's going to stop but "not" at the same specific
    position constantly.
    It's possible that you may have reprogram the auto up
    stop point (this was posted in the past) by I believe
    physically holding the button to down for 1second after
    it reaches that position then do the same for full up.

    bigtsr got a reaction from dhh3 in Might add engine oil cooler to 15' crossroad what do I need?   
    They have both coolers - tranny sits in front of rad and as you can tell
    from pics the small oil cooler sits above the oil galley.
    As for add on coolers I am not sure where they mount them
    from factory but aftermarket targeted coolers usually come
    from trade as where to mount them per individual car models.

    there are many who need a push in the right direction.

    Batteries don't leak rust so it must be poor drainage
    from the battery tray assy.
    If they have replaced the battery then it is ruled out as
    a source of dampness.
