vI have a 2009 Journey I bought back on June 9. I just received a recall notice from the dealer for Modification RRT 08-087. I asked the service manager on the phone what it was for and he told me it had something to do with brakes/powersteering and a cap of some sort. I was not to comfortable with his answer so I called dodge and they told me there was no recall for my vehicle and that if I got the noyice from the dealer, it wwas the dealer doing the recall. I asked dodge how could the dealer recall the vehicle and you dodge not know anything about it. Needless to say the non english speaking rep could not answer my question. I am wondering has anyone else seen this or had the repair completed? if so what is it for?
On another note I am getting a vibrating/whistling sound coming from the front of the car when I am going 60-70 on the highway. It does not do it all the time but it is very annoying when it does occur. I thought at first it was my radar detector against the glass so I removed it but I still get the noise. I am not sure if it is the same as the howling noise as I have read in the forums because it is not really a howl, sounds almost like when you were a kid and stuck a baseball card in your bicycle tire spokes, that is what it sounds more like. Any one else getting this noise?
Also on two occasions now i went to start the car and when i turned the key to acc everything came on fine but when I went to start the car, nothing. Completly dead. On the first occasion I used the factory installed remote start to get it started and it worked fine. I turned the car off and back on with the key and it worked as it should. the second time the same thing everything came on fine but when I went to start the car nothing, teh remote start did not work either. I would up having to jump the car to get it started. No lights were left on, not was the radio and it is garage kept. I turned the car off immediately after getting it going and tried the key and it worked fine. It has been 2 weeks and it still seems ok, anyone else have this problem?
Just an FYI I had my first oil change down at 3500 miles by the dealer and at 5000 miles my oil change notice came across teh system notification screen on the dashboard. I tried resetting it several times. Everytime I reset it the oil change notification would reset but then about a minute later it would come back on. I took it to the dealer who kept it all day and they said all they did was reset the notification. I find it hard to believe that is all they did for the whole day and plus i did about 20 times over a three day period, has anyone else experienced this?
Any suggestions on getting the dealer to check your vehicle for all service bulletins? I have been looking on line and see there have been radio upgrades and tsb's on the power steering fluid level but when I ask my dealer they say there is nothing for my vehicle. I feel like they are just being lazy and really do not want to do any work on it unless I complain about a specific problem. Is there a site that lists all the service bulletins? I would love to get a complete list and take it to the dealer and have them go over the car. Thaks for any information provided.
