You only drive about 15 K a year........So the 2009 with 141,000 must not have been all you from day one then...

You must have bought it used?

Do you have the 19" tire/wheel package?

Any issues with the AWD over the 4 years?

Thanks...........Caper..................

What was your KM at when you got the work done?.....Was it near what the owner's manual stated?

......Caper.........

Hey I am from Sydney......Now in Ontario.......I grew up around the Vulcan Ave. Area..........Now 40 years old.........................Caper..........

I still don't understand what change from 2009/2010.................now 2011/2012 models?

If Dodge knew about this issue when the journey had it's first couple of years ............How did they change the brakes/rotors for the current models?

Does anybody know?

Thanks.....Caper...........

Not the greatest for me either........Does do well on the highyway IMO......I am just past 6000 KM so up until now.......I am not really getting up hopes up too high.....I will wait until spring/summer road trip to do more ratings..

Still better than the 5.3 avananche my wife drove around town.....LOL.....Caper........

Yes I just checked my now.....It has a lock on the pass. side glove box.

arm rest lifts up and has storage there.

There are two storage areas in the back under the floor mats that have pull-out liners for ice that's melts(coolers)

On some models there ia a pocket on the back side of the drivers seat with two hooks to keep shopping bags up-right.

....How many Journey owners knew what those hooks were for?....LOL....

And pocket in front of the two front cup-holders for small items....

Hope that helps.....

Also have a rechargable LED flashlight in the left side of the inside rear hatch that will keep charged in the holder......

,...........Caper........

My auto insurance agent told me my 2012 Journey has the higest safety rating for there rates that affect my cost..........I switched over my 2005 Chev avalanche over to the brand new 2012 Journey R/T AWD and the rates were about$ 60.00 year cheaper...........Go figure?..........They also told me the smaller compact cars have a bad safety rating ..........Caper....

You must be kidding?.............I need to check my 2012.......LOL.Caper.........

me too..LOL.............Caper.......

My 2012 R/T bought in Canada .......has no two red strips after the front logo...........Bought in Nov/2011..........Also don't have the 8.4 " screen .........But the wife drives it anyway.....LOL.......Hope they change the red stips in the logo after my build..............Or you will be disappointed............Caper...........

I check on You Tube sometimes for a clip on how to projects............It helped many times on the ATV axle ruber boots replacement....Caper...

only on the front pass. seat on my......(2012 R/T with leather).....loop sticks out like a sore thumb.........can't miis it.....caper.....

Just remember the R/T with 19" wheels is AWD.......How does changing to 17" affect this......??

.Caper.

The 3.6 penstar has a chain.....................The 3.5 does not?

.Caper...........

I don't understand. You start it with the FOB ,but have no key or push-button?

Do you just use the FOB like a remote starter?...what safety features does this system have so you need the button on you all the time. Do you still need to push the brake peddle in before driving away?

Thanks,....Caper...

When did they go to the push button .....without the key?

2011/2012?

So the 2009....and the 2010 has the normal key?

Thanks.....Caper......

What RPM were you at in 5th doing 85 KPH

I can check my 2012 R/T with your stats.

However I don't drive mine very much, the wife does so I have really no input to tell you.......

I can drive it and tell you what RPM I at in Auto-stick 5th and 6th gear and just in autmatic doing 85 KPH......

..................Caper............

Thanks........With AWD(mine) .....rotation will be very important .................Can not just replace two at a time..............Caper.........

Same issue with people that bought the 2012 R/T models with the 4.3 touch screen.

The 8.4 is listed to come as standard eq. on the 2012 R/T models........but they were listed as "LATE" 2012.

so I did know about it before I bought.........However some may not .............

I think you got what you bought........What does it have on you window sticker from the factory build?

....................Caper.....

Can he check the tranny temps on the driver info display with his SXT?....Or is this just on the R/T?

....Caper.......

What did Dodge do to change the issue in 2011/2012?...........Why only on the 2009/2010.?

Does anybody know?

good news, after my first oil change, I reset the EVIC, and I have a new average of 18,4l/100km insted of 22,1l/100km (100% city) + remote start 2-3 time a day!

and idling time + remote start drinks soooo much gas!!!

I'm more satisfied with this average ! and I hope this will be a bit lower next summer without using remote start and warmer weather!

What KM are you at with your first oil change?

Are you in a very cold part of Canada?

I am about ready for my first oil change on my 2012 R/T also ....Just near 5000 KM now ,I am not waiting until 13000KM

.......Caper...

Some people are hard on Brakes due to the fact they use two feet when driving.

My mother was very hard on brakes, she used her right for the gas pedal and the left for the brake .......So what this means when your driving, her left foot always was resting on the pedal and everyone knows with power brakes it don't take very much pressure to apply them.

I am not saying this is your trouble/problem........But many drivers out there use both feet to drive and this should be a issue to any of them.

.............

...........

How many reading this post use two feet when driving?

.......Caper....

I have Yokohamas on mine-235/55/19 they are a nice riding tire

How long(KM) did you factory Kumho's ones last?.....Or did you just replace them to up-grade performance.

Do you have AWD?

Maybe that's why there were some posts on here about the AWD issues. The 225/55/19 are so hard to find some of the dealers may have put the 235/55/19 tires on as a pair in the front or the rear and caused major issues with the AWD wanted to engage due to the differances.

I did check and they do have lots of listings for the 235/55/19.

why did Dodge use such a rare tire size?

Does dodgecares have any input on the odd tire size?
