Hmm, I find that hard to believe as both areas are quite affluent...actually, Oakville I believe is the richest town in North America and Vaughan is highly populated with an immigrant community. Maybe I don't notice it because I live here but I am almost positive that in Oakville and Vaughan or in the entire GTA you are not going to get the Bob and Doug McKenzie talk. Toronto is a highly diverse population with many ethnicities so many will have accents but not the Canadian you are used to hearing on TV.

With all the brake talk on this forum its hard to believe we missed that one.

I would think it is something like this: http://www.bgfindashop.com/bgservices/battery.htm Is it necessary to do? Unless you are having issues and the battery terminals are quite dirty and corroded then consider it as a money grab by the dealership.

I did it and it was very easy...instructions are posted in this thread: http://www.dodgejourneyforum.com/topic/2985-new-grill-emblem-with-red-stripes/?hl=emblem

Oh, I know OHF. I gave the oil indicator a chance at my last oil change & it came on at 1500 miles after a fill of Penz Plat...what a joke...it's 5-6000 mile OCI's for me.

If you are out of warranty do what you like but I go by the thinking that everything on the car has a purpose when designed by the engineers/designers. Unless someone posts info of credible real improvements that are made and many others have posted back with the same results from removing it then I would consider it other than that I'd just leave it alone.

I don't think Autozone is allowed to clear codes.

Unless the oil has been in their for over a year 2500 miles is way too soon to change the oil especially if a synthetic was used. I would either reset or just go by mileage which is what I do but never pass the maximum allowed in the owners manual as you are under warranty.

I know the brakes on these 2011's are not the greatest but warping within 3,000 miles is not a braking issue but a driver issue. You must be braking at high speeds for that warping to happen.

Welcome!!

$400.00 for a reman.....I just choked on my coffee seeing that.

I like using the Mopar Filters which are great quality but for now I'm using the Bosch Premiums which were on clearance at Walmart for $5.00 ea. It does a great job filtering and probably at half (or more) the cost of K&N filters. I'll pass on the K&N's but thanks for posting this.

Well, you haven't lived until you've been to one. I love them for their coffee...I think it's laced with crack or something because they can get line ups of people out the door just waiting to satisfy their coffee fix. I didn't think that I was addicted to it but after 2 weeks in the US soon as I crossed the border back to Canada it was the first stop the family had to go to.

Double post.

I use the Mopar OEM engine filter and Fram freshbreeze cabin filter. The Mopar engine filter is of good quality and does a fantastic job regarding engine filtration as noted by Blackstone in my UOA that I posted. Maybe costs a few dollars more but worth it IMO.

Is this suppose to be a white Journey in a snowstorm in the north pole pic? Welcome to the forum Weav!!

Woohoo, another Ontarian!!! Strength in numbers I say!!

Alright, I'll give you that but everything else from the front windshield and back isn't the Caravan.

I agree with those in favor of taking advantage of the lemon law. You got stuck with a lemon and to date both your dealer and Dodge have not been helpful in resolving your problem.

Well at least we can't call the OP a 1 post wonder....they have a full count of 2.

Your right there is no drain bolt but once you drop the pan you could install one for future use.

Wow, that sucks. At least you didn't get hurt....what about the deer?
