Check the parking brake pedal to make sure it is all the way up. Try gently pulling up on the pedal to see if it moves toward you at all. Then, check the fluid level in the master cylinder reservoir before you drive it again. If it is low, call roadside assistance and have it towed to the nearest dealer as there may be a leak. If the fluid level is full and the brakes feel normal, then it may be an indication issue only. Schedule an appointment to have it repaired - this should be a warranty matter.

The engine will not shut off unless you turn it off. The only exception to this involves the remote starter, which runs the engine 15 minutes and then times out. Otherwise, the engine should never shut off on its own unless done so by the driver. To do so otherwise could shut it down while driving, and that could have disasterous consequences as I'm sure you can imagine.

We now have over 22,000 miles on the car and the brakes feel exactly as they did when it was new. I'm very impressed. No vibration, no pulling, no fade. My 300M is equipped with the Performance Handling Group which includes stiffer calipers and higher friction pads. They stop the car well but usually by 20K miles there is some noticeable vibration. The Journey's brakes just feel more powerful and are smooth and quiet. I know about the issues they've had in the past (my customers have let me know that in no uncertain terms!) but I think I can say that Dodge has put those issues to rest.

When I copy and paste from the dealer website to this forum, it kind of jumbles the info together - must be a copyright issue - sorry. I tried to save the image to my desktop and then load it to Photobucket but that didn't work either. Hope this helps somewhat.

I have to say that I'm kind of mystified by the number of complaints on the audio system. I find the sound to be clear, articulated and relatively natural - with the right source material. My biggest disappointment was with the quality of the satellite radio. This is my first experience with it and the quality is terrible, but researching the issue about compression of satellite bandwith has answered that question - not that I'm happy about it, but at least I understand. But, with a CD or with my phone connected via USB, I find the sound to be quite excellent. If I had one complaint, it's that it won't play loudly enough - there are times when I really want to crank it up but the output is electronically limited. I'm not one to drive an amp into clipping, but let me have the option of doing so rather than blocking it altogether. Now, about the wiring connectors - try this: AMPLIFIER-RADIO C1 Harness Family: Body Cavities: 40 Color: NATURAL Gender: FEMALE Part Description: 13592526 Engineering Name: Mod_Audio_Amplifier_12_Ch_8_Ch Connector No: D3804A Option: Standard Available Views: Location View Pin Circuit Wire Color Gauge/Size Function Option 1 Z908 BK/GY 1 GROUND 1 Z908 BK/GY 16 GROUND 1 Z908 BK/PK 16 GROUND 2 D467 GY/DB .35 CAN(+) PRIVATE BUS FOR AUDIO TELEMATICS 2 D467 GY/DB 22 CAN(+) PRIVATE BUS FOR AUDIO TELEMATICS 3 NO N/A No Connect 4 X51 DG/DB .50 LEFT REAR SPEAKER (+) 4 X51 DG/DB 20 LEFT REAR SPEAKER (+) 5 X52 GY/DB .50 RIGHT REAR SPEAKER (+) 5 X52 GY/DB 20 RIGHT REAR SPEAKER (+) 6 X53 DG .50 RADIO LEFT FRONT AUDIO (+) 6 X53 DG 20 RADIO LEFT FRONT AUDIO (+) 7 X54 GY .50 RADIO RIGHT FRONT AUDIO (+) 7 X54 GY 20 RADIO RIGHT FRONT AUDIO (+) 8 X298 GY/LG .80 AMPLIFIED RIGHT I/P SPEAKER (-) 8 X298 GY/LG 18 AMPLIFIED RIGHT I/P SPEAKER (-) 9 X299 GY/YL .80 AMPLIFIED LEFT I/P SPEAKER (-) 9 X299 GY/YL 18 AMPLIFIED LEFT I/P SPEAKER (-) 10 NO N/A No Connect 11 NO N/A No Connect 12 A931 RD 1 FUSED B(+) 12 A931 RD 12 FUSED B(+) 12 A931 RD 16 FUSED B(+) 13 D466 GY/YL .35 CAN(-) PRIVATE BUS FOR AUDIO TELEMATICS 13 D466 GY/YL 22 CAN(-) PRIVATE BUS FOR AUDIO TELEMATICS 14 NO N/A No Connect 15 X57 DG/OR .50 LEFT REAR SPEAKER (-) 15 X57 DG/OR 20 LEFT REAR SPEAKER (-) 16 X58 GY/OR .50 RIGHT REAR SPEAKER (-) 16 X58 GY/OR 20 RIGHT REAR SPEAKER (-) 17 X55 DG/BR .50 RADIO LEFT FRONT AUDIO (-) 17 X55 DG/BR 20 RADIO LEFT FRONT AUDIO (-) 18 X56 GY/BR .50 RADIO RIGHT FRONT AUDIO (-) 18 X56 GY/BR 20 RADIO RIGHT FRONT AUDIO (-) 19 X208 GY/DG .80 AMPLIFIED RIGHT I/P SPEAKER (+) 19 X208 GY/DG 18 AMPLIFIED RIGHT I/P SPEAKER (+) 20 X209 GY/OR .80 AMPLIFIED LEFT I/P SPEAKER (+) 20 X209 GY/OR 18 AMPLIFIED LEFT I/P SPEAKER (+) 21 NO N/A No Connect 22 NO N/A No Connect AMPLIFIER-RADIO C2 Harness Family: Body Cavities: 28 Color: BLACK Gender: FEMALE Part Description: 175966-2 Engineering Name: Mod_Audio_Amplifier_12_Ch_8_Ch Connector No: D3804B Option: Standard Available Views: Location View Pin Circuit Wire Color Gauge/Size Function Option 1 NO N/A No Connect 2 NO N/A No Connect 3 X301 GY/WT .80 AMPLIFIED SUBWOOFER 2 (+) 3 X301 GY/WT 18 AMPLIFIED SUBWOOFER 2 (+) 4 X206 DG/LG .80 RIGHT REAR SPEAKER (+) 4 X206 DG/LG 18 RIGHT REAR SPEAKER (+) 5 X295 GY/DG .80 LEFT REAR SPEAKER (-) 5 X295 GY/DG 18 LEFT REAR SPEAKER (-) 6 X390 DG/BR .80 AMPLIFIED SUBWOOFER 1 (-) 6 X390 DG/BR 18 AMPLIFIED SUBWOOFER 1 (-) 7 X202 DG/VT .80 RIGHT FRONT SPEAKER (+) 7 X202 DG/VT 18 RIGHT FRONT SPEAKER (+) 8 X201 GY/VT .80 LEFT FRONT SPEAKER (+) 8 X201 GY/VT 18 LEFT FRONT SPEAKER (+) 9 NO N/A No Connect 10 NO N/A No Connect 11 X391 DG/WT .80 AMPLIFIED SUBWOOFER 2 (-) 11 X391 DG/WT 18 AMPLIFIED SUBWOOFER 2 (-) 12 X296 DG/GY .80 RIGHT REAR SPEAKER (-) 12 X296 DG/GY 18 RIGHT REAR SPEAKER (-) 13 X205 GY/LG .80 LEFT REAR SPEAKER (+) 13 X205 GY/LG 18 LEFT REAR SPEAKER (+) 14 X300 GY/BR .80 AMPLIFIED SUBWOOFER 1 (+) 14 X300 GY/BR 18 AMPLIFIED SUBWOOFER 1 (+) 15 X292 DG/YL .80 RIGHT FRONT SPEAKER (-) 15 X292 DG/YL 18 RIGHT FRONT SPEAKER (-) 16 X291 GY/YL .80 LEFT FRONT SPEAKER (-) 16 X291 GY/YL 18 LEFT FRONT SPEAKER (-)

Welcome and congratulations!

Went to Hither Hills again last week in Montauk, NY. Wonderful time with the family and I really like how well the Journey handles our pop-up camper. It never feels overburdened in any way, not even close.

I don't think so. 115V outlet is standard on Limited and R/T. I checked your build sheet and don't see it. You have all the other outlets - one ahead of the shifter, one in the center console, one on the back of the console for the middle row passengers, and another in the tailgate area on the driver's side.

Still showing dealer ETA 7/23. Current status is on a railcar in Gateway Yard, Illinois. Due to be shipped to Buffalo on 7/19, loaded onto truck 7/20, and then to your dealer. Stay tuned!

Hell Yes! Ford Owners Recommend Dodge

Just concurred. Built yesterday @12:03 AM. Scheduled to be loaded on first railcar on the 5th. Current dealer ETA is 7/23 but that can change on either side. Stay tuned!

The Journey, and all Chrysler products for that matter, have no provision for passive locking with the sole exception of the rolling door lock feature which you may enable or disable.

Welcome to a very cool chapter in your life - Journey ownership and forum membership!

Nothing to worry about. It is a time-consuming repair but not an overly difficult one for the right technician. Check engine light with P0302 cylinder #2 misfire is the most common; I've seen one or two on cylinder #4. Cylinders 2/4/6 are all on the left bank. In the majority of cases, the misfire cannot be felt but is detected by the OBD system since there is a corresponding rise in emission level. Not every engine is affected. We have far more 3.6's on the road without problems than ones that have come back for repair. None of the replacement heads have come back for repeat repair.

I'd be surprised to see any 2013's involved with head issues - we have done a bunch of heads and they're all 2011 and earlier 2012's. No '13's yet.

Sounds like the left front brake caliper is not releasing. When that happens, it overheats the brake rotor, causing it to warp which will explain your shake at 50 MPH. The smoke and smell are from the overheated brake pad material. Did you recently have a front brake job?

First step is to contact your dealer. This issue will require diagnostics. The root cause may be something very simple but it has to be diagnosed at your dealer first. Keep us posted as to what is found.

The show car apparently was fitted with larger than stock tires. Too bad they didn't leave those on or make them optional - looked good with the meatier rubber, IMO

It's a well-documented issue; Chrysler is simply informing you that they will stand behind the repair should it ever be necessary.

I upload my forum pictures to Photobucket first, then post them here from my Photobucket library.

Very tastefully done; looks great - nice job!

I would avoid that altogether as they are not compatible. Besides, my 300M uses five year HOAT coolant and there is no sign of corrosion in the cooling system even after 14 years and 291,000 miles. If you maintain the cooling system properly then you'll have no corrosion issues.

We stock it at my dealership. Yes, it is expensive but presumeably because in theory you should not be needing it for a very long time, if at all. Many folks don't keep a car for 10 years or 100,000 miles. $39.79 is a very good price. If you want to keep some on hand, then consider getting it at that price before it increases. And like yourself, I have 10 year coolant for my Journey, five year for my two 300M's, and three year for my old RX-7. Good thing my Merc outboard uses water!

How about some pictures?

There are no 2015 Journeys being built. They are not even open for ordering yet. The only 2015 Chrysler product currently in production is the new 200.
