This happened about 6 weeks ago. I had approximately 11,000 miles. It has not happened since I took the Journey in for repair (knock on wood). An indicator light came on with this too (I think it was called the "malfunction indicator light")....like I needed a light to tell me there was something wrong though!

Hmmm...had the EXACT same transmission problem with my car :o It ended up being that some switch was stuck within the transmission (I guess). Kind of a strange thing to happen to someone else this soon too.....

Most of the settings (not sure if this one is in that menu off the top of my head) are in the menu where you check the gas milage, compass, etc. If you scroll through there is something (I believe) called personal settings. You can change many things from within there. This is NOT on the radio...it is the little display that is to the left on the steering wheel on the dashboard.

Hmmm...I had a brake related light come on the other day (the stability control thing). The manual said to see if it stays on through a few on/off cycles and it went out the next time I drove it.

Just signed up for the site.

I received an update CD in the mail a few weeks ago. After I did the update myself, I had an unrelated problem (with a switch in the transmission) and had my car at the dealer. While I was standing there, he hooked the computer up to my car that pulled the codes - and found a "ton" of error codes for the radio. I am not sure if these were addressed by the update CD or not - but I have never had any problems with my radio before or after the CD update. The update was simple and took only a couple of minutes - it has directions on the CD sleeve and states if you aren't comfortable doing it that you can take it to the dealer.

Thanks for the info, Sharon! It ended up being some sort of switch that was stuck near the transmission (I am not a "car guy" so I can't remember exactly what it was). At any rate, they replaced the switch and things have been fine since! Thanks.

I am not sure of the location of the drain. I just know that the service tech told me that when he first looked at my car he did a water flow test and the flow rate was really slow. He said he blew compressed air into the drain line to clear it out and had some tiny rocks and other debris come out - after that, he said the problem was fixed. It's kind of scary to me that it could get clogged up that easily after only having it for a few months...and I don't even park under any large trees!

Well, my Journey is at 7500 miles and I have been having it in the dealership a little too much lately. The first trip was for water which was pouring in from the rearview mirror area by my sunroof. It wasn't related to the original sunroof rapid response fix - it was due to debris blocking the tiny drain pipe used to drain the roof. A week later, I opened the sunroof to see that the air deflector was broken! A tab had been broken when they reinstalled it causing it to pop up when opened - back to the dealer again! Then...I got the card in the mail about the engine wiring harness recall...back to the dealer. Now, on Friday, I had my MIL (malfunction indicator light) come on on the highway. Car wouldn't shift, RPMs were ABOVE 4000 while going 30 mph! I sluggishly drove to the dealership again. He pulled the codes and showed a TON of codes for my MYGig radio which I had just updated via the update CD that came in the mail - very odd! He cleared the codes and the light went out, but a code popped back up for some sort of pressure switch thing. So...here it is Monday...and my car is sitting at the dealership to fix who-knows-what!

I received mine on Monday - update was simple. Does anyone have any idea what the update did (specific changes)?

ummm....SURE!

I live in Avon (on the West side of Indy)...and while taking a walk the other day saw a red one parked in a neighbors driveway! I am starting to see them much more frequently around Indy this month. I bought mine in early March and up until a few weeks ago really hadn't seen any others. Now I am seeing them often!

I can do that on my phone - and not on the UConnect. If I am using UConnect and want to switch to the phone I just open my handset and there is a choice on the screen of the phone to "drop handsfree"

I have noticed this...although it has been like that with pretty much every vehicle I have owned. I wish there was a better way because my son ALWAYS wants his window open (which means I have to crack or open another)!

Mine also came on after about 2500 miles. I waited a little while longer to change it and then added synthetic. I seem to be getting about 1 mpg more on my driving after changing the oil and adding sythetic (I have determined this after driving for about another 2500 miles since my oil change). I am very curious to see how soon my light comes on again!

Mine is the MyGig without NAV...but I have UConnect. When I plug the iPod in it shows up as a tab that just says "iPod". That stinks if those of you who have NAV can't use the iPod....

My cable was actually in the glove box, still sealed in a Mopar bag. I had to plug the cable into a socket in the back left side of the glove box and then it worked great!

I am around 5000 miles....running great!

We test drove a Journey that was a 7 seater - but quickly decided we wanted a 5 seater. It wasn't worth the extra money to us to have the third row that is basically only good for car seats or small children. I crawled back to the third seat to see what it was like and would not have been able to endure a ride to my neigbors house in that seat. The Journey is an awesome vehicle, but I definately can not recommend getting the extra 3rd row seat.

Well, maybe I will finally see another Journey on the road in Indy now! I live in Avon and work downtown at Lilly but have yet to see another one on the road (and I have had mine since March 15th)! I am over 3000 miles and have not had any issues with it so far! See you on the road!

Today the warning message came across telling me that I need an oil change. The odd thing is, I only have 2400 miles on my Journey - most of which is HIGHWAY mileage. I'm very surprised to need an oil change already...has anyone experienced something similar?

It never seems to amaze me how the most simplistic things can be so different in the US and Canada

Good point...I guess I just wasn't considering how bad the weather is in other places!

Well, I got a little spooked this weekend driving my Journey. I heard a rather loud warning beep and then saw a message that said, "system warnings available"....HOLY CRAP...I thought. After scrolling through I found that my "windshield washer fluid was low!" Now, I haven't refilled it yet and it has been two days...but the Journey is nice enough to give me a loud beep and error message everytime I drive to remind me. I don't know, but to me, this isn't worthy of a "System Warning Message" and is a little annoying.
