  1. Im just wondering. Is tire rotation not included in warranty. I have 2012 dodge journey and i brought in for oil change and first tire rotation @ 8600km. I wasn't expecting that i need to pay for tire rotation! So is it true that its not free??
  2. Ok. My journey works now after several boost attemp! Im so unhappy about batterry performance! To know that dealership just change it with the new one last janaury just having 1400 kms on it. Now it went dead again at 8500kms. I dont think its normal for the battery to get dead in a year! Is it normal or some issue associated with dead battery last year. Is it necesary to bring to dealership, worth checking of! Please share your experiences!
  3. I washed my journey earlier today. After i washed i brought it home and wipe it dry. When i start again it didnt start! Check engine light came on! It blinked 3 to 5 times and it remained lit. I tried to start several times and it didnt go until evertime i press ignition button all i heard is ticking and nothing is responding no matter what i press. It didnt even go turned off. And cluster panel start blinking and dimming. My 8.4 screen didnt even turn on. Anyone experience like this on thier car?? Fml, it is park on under ground and tow truck cant acess it. Worst is its locked on park position. I dont know what to do. Hopefully its just weak battery! Any suggestion?
  4. Hi all, update for my fob battery. I ran to store and grab fob battery and changes it my self. Non of the function work aside from remote srart that when you pressed alarm goes off. I brought to my dealerand showed! He took my key brought inside for 15 minutes and when he got back we tried and everything works well. I ask whats was the issue and he said he just clean circuit board. He said it could be moist build up due to very cold temp here in our place!! Thank you very much for help and suggestion! :-)
  5. Thank for inputs! I might be trying to take off battery on my other fob and try! Hope i wont break it.. lol kinda scared if i screw up the other one then theres nothing left for me. Im not trying chop your responses it helps me and other forum member. My post may be interpreted like that and it not true but i respect your opinion. Anyway, im asking for those forum member that already tried thier dead fob. This way i can back up my claim if i go to my dealership!
  6. Has anyone actually confirmed or tried starting thier journey with dead fob? Thats my main worry. Replacing battery is a quick fix i know. But as what ive said in my original post. What if my fob died while im away from home. If somebody seals what is said in manual that fob with dead battery can start thier journey then i think its worth bringing up to the dealership. Can anyone chime in about fob if its cover under warranty?
  7. This morning im about to send kiddos to school. I remote start my journey like i always did to warm up! I live 3rd floor on our apartment building and it used to start no promlem. When we got to car i the engine is dead so i thought its just out of range which is not common! But when going to get inside to passive entry didnt work. What i did is i took out key from fob and open the car to my surprise it alarm like crazy and said key not detected! I knew from this forum that fob has an RKE?? That you still can start even on dead fob battery so i tried to press ignition with fob almost touching the start button but to no avail. It didnt start. I got my spare fob and it works well. My question is, is there something wrong with my fob? The idea of not starting my car with fob having dead battery freaks me out! What if i am away from home and my other fob is not availabe! Then i have to go back home to grab it and leave my car alarming like crazy??? Another question is.. Is the fob cover by warranty in case its not funcioning the way it should be? Please share your thought. Thank you!
  8. As far as i know it can be set through setting button on your monitor.
  9. Please deal with my ignorance... But what is catch can?? What it could do to journey?
  10. Pretty sure he has a bicycle for sundays! Lol
  11. Thanks for input guys! Went to Kal tire which happens nearest to my place. They said tire might picked up nail or something and they repaired it for free. Offered me change oil for $66 including tax which i refuse for now because i still have one free oil change from the dealer! I inquire about using synthetic oil and he said it will easily jump to $100+. Never realized that synthetic is that expensive.
  12. That thing confuses me! Why it has to be 6 days to get low. Its my third time adding air on it. It ussually go as low as 191kpi. Another question, In this level of low pressure is it still drivable from point A to point B to add air on gas station? Could it damage my tire?
  13. My tire is always getting low air pressure every 6 days. I just have 8000 kms on my journey. Is it cover/included on warranty or should i just bring it to any tire shop for fix?
  14. I still do.. Its so quiet especially when your inside the cabin.. :-)
  15. My 250G work. Not sure for 500G. Take note that it only accepts audio file. As far as i found out in mine!
  16. Mine still on 25.2L/100kms. Hopefully it gets better this coming summer!
  17. --- i grabbed a book just to look some more when i got home, when i left the dealership i realized that NOW my cigarette lighter ports are not working -- front or back -- therefore cell phone charger doesnt work ..... -sexyrtboi- I tried cellphone charger on my cigarette lighter and it didnt work! Im confused which are broken. My cellpone charger or the cigarette lighter???? Is there any other way to check if my cigarette lighter is working. I dont have the metal thing that they use for cigarette lighter!
  18. I thought 2013/2014 models are having perforated leather seats.. Just wondering! Exactly same feateures of my 2012 dj r/t. :-)
  19. Exactly what im experiencing in my 2012 r/t just notice it when the weather is too cold.. Hopefully it will go away this summer!
  20. The edge i never test drive, thats what i want before i lay my eyes on journey!! They are 2 different vehicles as you said! Is edge way better than journeys?? But for price range it may justify!
  21. I can kumho is terrible with AWD. Whenever i make a turn on icy road and my front wheel starts to slip. AWD worsen the situation because as soon as my AWD kicks in my journey starts to spin.. So horrible, it happens sometime even im just changing lanes.. Im still very lucky that i didnt hit anything when that happened.. Winter tires is always best bet in my opinion! I did an experiment of turning off STABILITRACK feature on my r/t. Hope it prevent me from spinning!
  22. I just noticed it also earlier. I went to check my engine oil level at cold engine, it was higher than safe range.. I tried to start it using remote while hood is ajar and it didnt start. So i went in and start manually.. Check oil with warm engine and its on the safe range a bit lower than criscross line! Another thing i observe. It was the first time i floored my accelator pedal and the RPM never went above 3000. Is it normal? Im expecting to see it on redline.. The gear was in park when i floored it.
  23. Haha i love driving my journey!! I cant wait to put more miles on it.. Oftentimes, i drove my journey with no apecific destination! All i want is to put more miles on it. :-)
  24. I love brilliant red tri-coat Dodge Journey! That would be my next journey..... If i won the lottery! :-)
  25. Always happened to me! Everytime its extremely cold my external hard disk drive where i stored all my music is not functioning. Not sure if the problem is in the system or the external hard drive being frozen'
