Anyone have any idea how to remove the silver trim from around the gauges, shifter and doors to complete the look?

September 2013

Went to start my car and it was dead. Had dodge roadside jump my battery. When it turned over the awd light and battery light came on. The check engine light came on with codes of cylinder 5 misfiring and low voltage. While driving to the dealership there was a significant loss of power. When the mechanic turned the car back on, once it was there, all the warning lights were gone. Having the car for 5 days they couldn't figure the problem out or replicate it. I got annoyed with having to pay 60 bucks a day for a rental and took my car back.

December 2013

Driving to work in the snow one morning the awd light comes on and feels like I'm in fwd the whole way there. I park the car turn the car off, turn it was on and the light is gone. I didn't take it to the dealer.

Yesterday April 1st

Driving to work on the highway, the car lunges forward like a hard downshift. The transmission won't change out of the gear I in. So if I let off the gas there's heavy engine braking and if I touch the gas it shoots up to 5-6k to make power. I get to work and start to park and when I change gears to D or P or R there's a loud and violent thud. I turn the car off, turn it back on and the problem is gone again.

I think my ecu is screwed up or maybe there's a short somewhere. My GPS jut randomly turns off sometimes too. I'm going to try to take it to the dealer soon and get this straightened out. I hope its not an ongoing problem as my wife and I both really like our Journey. I'll let you guys know how it goes, just have to find some time to the dealership.

I'd forget the hemi and try the Crossfire Srt6 supercharged v6. 330hp 310tq. That'd probably be a more manageable engine and smaller than the hemi. But it would probably cost more than its worth.

These things are great especially for the price. I have one of these http://www.amazon.com/BAFX-Products-Bluetooth-diagnostics-Android/dp/B005NLQAHS/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1396465406&sr=8-2&keywords=obd2+reader paired up with the torque pro app on my phone. I have a code reader, a bunch of gauges for intake temp, manifold pressure, air fuel ratio ect..for under 30 bucks.

Looks really good. I actually thought about this and doing the rest of the silver aluminum looking pieces.

Hey everyone, I leased my Journey R/T in March of 2013. I've had some constant problems that still aren't resolved (which I'll post in another thread). Overall though I love my Journey, it's a good looking car with enough power to be a fun family car.

I've had a few Jeep Libertys before this, a few Camaros a turbo Eclipse and a Mazdaspeed 6 (all of which were modded). I'm looking forward to contributing on this forum.
