Trying to count the shifts but wanted to verify 100 %, and want to change the fluid myself as it is not a difficult job just takes a little time. I thought there was a link on this site posted some time ago but a search did not result in one. The ones I did check did not offer that specific info when I input my vin # , just thought I would ask here before asking a dealer. There will be a time when I will not be able to do some of this type work myself or we simply cannot anymore but, not there yet. Thanks, will see if utube can show how to tell tranny speed you have.

I thought I kept my window sticker but guess not. I want to change my trans fluid but cannot find a site  / link to give my transmission speed based on my vin #, but I bought a 6 speed tranny filter kit. Can anyone help me with this  ? thanks

Just had a coolant flush in my 2012 last April / May at 95,000 kms, Fresh coolant no other issues noted, why mess with something that is already working fine ? Apex87, it has been a month did that do the trick in bringing the temp down to your normal 220 ?

No disrespect to Eileen, but I for one enjoy paying 50% for a part that does the same job 99 % of the time. Anyone want to bet ? I think the part was ordered from the e-Bay link provided  LOL

Hope it works out for you Eileen

No clue but hopefully my 2012 does not have same issue,  have you been provided with a loaner all this time ? RF meaning radio frequency , what does this part do ?

After you do jump start it, go and get the charging system and battery diagnosed. First see if there is a problem with the alternator or battery themselves.I just changed my original 2012 battery this past Spring.Then, move on from there.

Install included, good deal. Dealing with the rusted on nut for the hold down bolt is worth the money alone ! LOL 

Assume that idea worked since this thread is quiet ?

$249 ...Ouchhhh, 

How the heck do you get at that, I almost think you need to replace the whole lens itself ?  If that is the case, guess it would not hurt to experiment on taking it apart and try to do as you suggest and glue it back in place. Are not most all those outer body plastic parts friction welded into one solid piece, hope I am wrong and someone else can help you.

Sounds like you have have a good plan at this point, I do not see any problems happening enjoy the journey.. 

I agree with 2Late4U, it always seems that when you factor in the 0% financing plus incentives ...vs the financing interest rate on a used car the newer vehicle is about the same price I find.  But 15 K is nothing if the used 2018 is thousands cheaper, in the end will you be happy with the 2018 and its options ? So, I guess whatever everyone else mentioned above, good luck; I am sure either way you will be happy just go with your gut..

Please post when changed noticed same, cracked window solved problem. Need to see where re-circ door is to look and see.

Had the radio volume oh high issue years ago in our 2012  SXT 4.3 " screen / 3.6 L, it was fixed with an update I believe. But, have had the radio sometimes not work at all / almost frozen it seems on and off for years now., dealer confirmed latest firmware etc.... Since that system was out of warranty, there was no way I was giving them hundreds of bucks to fix. I simply turn engine off and on at the next stop and a reset occurs fixing the issue. Sucks that you live with a problem because the issue is too expensive to fix, radio replacement .

Very strange....correct like something splashed on both sections.Yep, remove, sand and, repaint; hope you can find a match for that colour. Good Luck

Where did the replies go ? They were here now there gone, I see what others have commented on previously now. Guess members will start disappearing next !

I do not recall it as an issue really...wonder since heater core issue I am more aware of it in general now.  Glad to hear it's not just me, thanks. Yes the minus 26 C  / - 15 F not including wind chill is a little abnormal lately LOL

Replaced a leaking heater core about 3 weeks ago and cleaned all inside windows 2-twice. I know it is very cold now but still noticing some fogging. The A posts on the DJ are pretty big, does that affect the small defrost vents from working as you would hope ? I used invisible glass cleaner then some very hot water to remove possible coolant residuals, having window tint all around I do not want to damage it. Has anyone used vinegar / water mixture with success ? I just never recall an issue this bad having bought the DJ new in April 2012. With the fan setting on panel / floor mix all the windows start fogging up. Defrost  or defrost floor is the only option that helps.

Here in Canada the front plate is attached directly with self tapping screws  no bracket needed.

Hankster, someone stole your bracket ,  it's black in colour, an inch plus in depth and in the middle of the front end just under the grill.  As mentioned look for the dimple marks  then after the bracket is attached, attach plate in side bracket using the two threaded holes for the license plate screws.

Looks familiar, I did the same a few years ago but not that bad. It looks pretty small really but you know its's there now. Personally, as long as tire seal is maintained and wheel balance was not affected leave it. Worry about it when its time to buy new tires. My two cents. 

  Widows started to fog-up and I knew what happened, been twenty years since that happened to me. Found a "rad shop" that offers not to discharge air conditioning & lines and limits what is removed on the dash. Dealers wanted between $1200 and $1550 taxes included. This rad shop charged $630 including a total coolant flush, and if you do not want short cuts taken price is $1100. No brainer here, short cuts all the way. Just wanted everyone to know, look for shops willing to skip unnecessary steps if the savings is passed along.  Not sure if the skipped steps are environmental or safety concerns but was assured end result is the same.

I noticed when oil spraying the 2012 Journey that the door sills are all filled with foam. At the time other owner's here suggested this was to help decrease road noise in the cabin. But to answer your question, yes foam in that area is normal.

My 2012 has sat outside for 4 yrs now, no issues. The thought of freezing then letting the area warm up from the motor for it to work makes sense. Then you mentioned windshield replacement and this now occurring. I think your thought of possible water now leaking into an area it has not before makes sense. Is there a drain in the area that may now be plugged ? I know sometimes debris gets in that trough, maybe water is pooling now ? Then is freezes stopping the wipers operation until the motor can thaw the area ? 

Just a thought as I did this ( dumb ass ), are the little metal clips on backwards ? Sorry for being vague,  I installed mine backwards and a little nipple type thing sticking out would rub on the rotor.  Once I switched them around noise went away. Now have a very fine line on one rotor where clip was just touching.
