  8. DJ comparison

    in Owner Impressions

    Posted

    Have a 2016 Nissan Altima rental this week. Not nearly as nice to drive as my 2011 DJ.

    Likes: Engine has plenty of power, transmission shifts super smooth, base comes with backup cam,great fuel efficiency.

    Dislikes: Steering wheel is too small, interior controls are wonky, seats are a strange material, no lumbar adjustment, backup cam screen is small.

    Overall the Altima is not as fun to drive as my DJ. Lots of interior noise and twitchy steering. Small steering wheel makes that worse. Engine and transmission seem good but I'm afraid to use all of the power. Maybe that would get better with time. I miss the cargo space of my DJ this week.

    Anyway, good car, but I prefer my 5 year old DJ overall.

    Peace.

    I had an Altima 2 years ago and and a Camry last year as my Florida rentals and I wasn't impressed with either but did like the Altima over the Camry....this year I'm driving my DJ down to Florida so I expect it to be an enjoyable drive. :)

  10. Power Steering Hose investigation

    in Recalls & Technical Service Bulletins

    Posted

    I had my power steering hoses replaced I get home and I got oil dripping I go look under ride and the frame is all wet I wipe it down and its fine as of now but what a disgrace taking it to a dealer that I trust and ive referred maybe people to now making me look bad

    Its all good tomorrow ill have a chat with the Manager of the operations fluid looked brown & red mixed) driver side front I know its probably from the old hoses.

    What a day let me tell you your suppose to come home peace of mind but in the end you end up like me worrying

    Complete Non Sense

    Sorry I had to vent

    Probably leaking because they reused the clamps which should have been replaced with new. Not a big deal but an inconvenience for sure.

  12. Exhaust warranty

    in Accessories, Modifications

    Posted · Edited by Journey_SeXT

    I believe that if you are altering the performance of your exhaust system with an aftermarket then yes it probably will void your exhaust warranty but not everything else that is warrantied in the car unless the dealer can prove that damage is due to the exhaust modification. You may want to check with the dealer what your options are.

  15. Anyone Flush the Coolant Yet?

    in Engine & Transmission

    Posted · Edited by Journey_SeXT

    at what mileage did you do your transmission fluid and filter change i was asking my dealer and they want you to change it at about 50-60k and i asked him wasn't that for cars that were in heavy duty use or heavy towing and that the book says about 100k and he kind of hem hawed a bit and said well ya but we recommend it sooner than later...dealer wants about $150 to do the service..

    I will be changing both my coolant and transmission fluid soon and I am just passed 100,000 km / 60,000 miles. I just checked my Transmission fluid the other day and it is still in good shape with good color and no burnt smell. I would suggest that you check your fluid too so you aren't changing it out when it is dark and not recommended to switch it out.

    EDIT: I just noticed you have a 2014 2late4U so I think you are still awhile away from a tranny fluid change but still doesn't hurt to check it.

  21. Dodge Journey 2011 rotors.

    in Brake, Chassis & Suspension

    Posted · Edited by Journey_SeXT

    I agree with RTM and go with the better quality brakes instead!!

    Personally, IDK if I would even bother doing an upgrade in a bigger brake on my 2011....I think I'm at the point of upgrading the vehicle instead. I just recently changed my rotors and pads with the Wagners. It's no big deal for me keeping the original brake setup even though they need replacing a little sooner than the bigger brakes found on the later models. Personally, I love doing brake work so having it done a little sooner is a real treat for me and for my kids who are learning how to do brakes. From now until my next brake change I just purchase brake parts bit by bit when they go on special and by the time I'm ready for my next change in a few years i'll have all the parts needed & purchased at a great price.

    No Pan Am games. Just baseball, beers, and brats.

    Peace.

    Hey RTM thanks for letting us know that you had a good time in T.O.! :) We always enjoy having our southern U.S. neigbours/neighbors visiting us. As an FYI for our U.S. friends our dollar sucks right now at about 76 cents to the American dollar so your money will take you a little further out here now.
