Well mine is supposed to ship on July 10th and I am being told by my dealer it should arrive on July 24th. I live in the Phoenix, Az. area. I am not sure if they mean you could get yours a few days earlier living in TX. I think that mine has to come through El Paso before coming to Az. Seth

Congrats. I will have mine hopefully July 24th. How long did you spend going over it before you drove it home?

Rob, I am glad to see you are so close to getting your Journey. It has been so long. Well, I had an interesting day yesterday. First, I got an email from Dodge saying thanks for subscribing to our site. That is all it really said. I thought -- hmmm -- I signed up for that back when I order the car. Why I am getting this now. I got a little excited since I have been in D status for 7 weeks -- maybe it has changed. So, I called 800 # and yes status just changed to D1 with a ship date of 7/10/08. So, it seems that the email was sent based on the change in my status. I called the dealer and he looked it up and said yes your order has changed and it only takes 2 weeks for the car to get to the dealership. So, I am looking at having my car on July 24th. This will be a total of 13 weeks since we ordered the car. Quite a Journey in deed. I will try to keep everyone updated. Work has been a little crazy lately. Seth

Sorry about the name Chris. Let me know if the one that did get built is an R/T with the 3rd row seating. If so, I am going to see if my dealer can put some pressure on getting mine built. This is going on way to long. I really feel for Rob now. Thanks, Seth

Jim, Can you please tell me everything you order? I order went in on April 24th and I keep being told it is being held up due to the 3rd row seat being on back order. I am kind of confused since you say they built one and it is being shipped to Tx. Look at my signature to find what is on my order. Thanks, Seth

Caruby, Do you have a way to check the status of 3rd seat back order problem? I have been in D status for almost 5 weeks now. I am being told from the dealer it is because of the 3rd row back order. Thanks, Seth

It would seem that the 3rd row seat is causing some delay. I am not sure how it would affect the order in build. I was just told this morning that my status is the same 'D' because of the 3rd row seat is still on back order. I actually could see that it might just take another week so that they line it up with other RTs. Seth

Vic, Great to hear another happy customer. I am still waiting for mine to arrive and can't wait. Have fun looking around the forum, you should learn quite a bit. Seth

Another update. I called my dealer yesterday to see if they could find out if there are any parts on back order that could be holding up my order. I have been in 'D' status for 3 weeks now. Well he just called back and told me the 3rd row is on back order, just like we thought. As soon as the part gets in then the car should fly through and be delivered. He also said since they mark my car as being paid for then I should get priority over regular builds. I will be on vacation this next week so I will be checking back in with the dealer on Friday. I will give an update to all then. Seth

Just an update on the VIN information. I emailed Chrysler and their reply back is that the 5th digit is what I suspected. G = FWD and H = AWD. I feel much better now. There is nothing in the VIN that specifies how many seats there are. The 7th digit just shows that it is a hatchback. So all of the Journey's 7th digit should be a 7. I am trying to find out what all the other digits mean but they didn't have that in the email. I am emailing them back to see. Seth

I am still at 0 too. I have been waiting 5 weeks. NiceTrip, I hear you. I am dying to. Rob is the one who has us all beat on the order that is taking the longest. I think he has been waiting 11 - 12 weeks. Hang in there, Seth

Welcome aboard Darrell, Congrats on your new Journey. You will find this forum to be very informative. Please post pictures if you have them, we all like seeing peoples Journey's. Seth

I was just looking around on the board and could the G = FWD and the H= AWD? I order FWD and I have a G in the 5th Digit. I noticed everyone who ordered AWD has a H there. I sure hope so. Like I said if it means # of seats I will be so pissed off..... Seth

Rob, The G in the 5th digit better not mean 5 seater or my order got botched. I order the 7 seater and I have a G in the 5th spot of my VIN. I will be extremely pissed off if it comes in without the 5+2. I need the air conditioning in the back for the Kids. Remember I live in Hell here in Phoenix during the summer time. We already have hit 110 degrees once. There are many more to come. I will be talking to my rep on Friday and I will be asking if he can find out how to decode the VIN or find someone who can. I will update all when what I find out. Seth

Welcome to the forum. You will find some great things here. Seth
