  1. Just hit 57000 miles on my 4 cyl FWD SE. This is also a 2013 so it shows how much it gets driven. Other than the trans clunk I've had since day 1 and the massive understeer in the rain, this is a great vehicle. The sticker on it was 24k. For 24k there's no other option out there to get all of the equipment I have plus sit as comfortably as I do. Now, this is a company vehicle so I'd have never considered a DJ unless it was given to me. I will say that the abuse this vehicle takes, it still drives as it did on day 1.
  2. I've got a 2013 SE. This is a company car I drive so I didn't pick options, etc. Just the color. So from what it seems I can not connect my Galaxy Note 3 to the vehicle in any way other than audio port. I'm just confused because the system is called uconnect so I'd assume there was bluetooth. Now, the iphone connects via USB with no problem. Am I limited to iphone/ipod to connect music to the vehile via usb? When connecting the note 3 I get a notification on the phone that it's connected as an installer. THen I get this..
  3. I've got a 2013 SE with the smartkey. Twice I've noticed that I come out in the morning and the driver's door is unlocked. I'm not the type to forget to lock my car, especially being in NJ. I've googled it and can't really find anyone else having this issue. Anyone on here maybe?
  4. Yeah, no. Snow tires aren't an option as it's a company vehicle and they won't pay for it. I drive 70k miles a year. I guess that's like 400,000KM or however you'd like to do the math. The tires were garbage. I know how to drive.
  5. I'm up to 24,092 miles on my 2013. I really thought this was the worst vehicle ever. There was no grip, handleing was terrible, braking sucked, wet traction was terrible. Now, in the snow it was down right scary to drive. I took it to tires plus today in the middle of a snow storm and got firestone destination LE2's. WOW. All of those gripes have been fixed. The Kumho tires that were on there were 6/32 but just terrible. Fixed a lot of issues. Trans still makes noise but that's another story altogether.
  6. 2013 w/ 20k miles has been clunking since day one. If I was the actual owner it would have been returned by now. I can't imagine why import automakers excel in this country.
  7. 2013 w/ 19,560 miles. Trans has been clunking through every gear since day 1. Dodge says it's not clunking when it clearly is. They finally did a trans reflash and it still clunks. Whoda thunk that software won't fix a mechanical issue. Brakes are fine though and this is a company owned vehicle and it's driven pretty hard. Regardless, the trans in this vehicle is garbage.
  8. If you consider me a troll because I'm stating a problem with my vehicle and it's relevant forum, that's a problem. If it upsets you that much to hear the Journey isn't a perfect vehicle, that's a bigger problem. The section I posted in is owner's impressions. Ok, I may not be an "owner" but it's my only vehicle and I drive more than 90% of the world I'm sure. Regardless of who is paying for it shouldn't make a difference. So, with that said. It says owners impressions. It doesn't say positive impressions. It just says impressions. These were my impressions. It doesn't make me wrong. I almost started to miss automotive forums for a minute. Thank you for showing me again why this was a waste of my time.
  9. This is a company vehicle so granted..I drive 4-5k miles a month. I received the vehicle in May and it has 16k on it now. It just went in to the dealer for the following: Steering shakes at highway speeds. Transmission clunks through every gear. Trans clunks when hitting the gas or taking my foot off the gas. There is another clunk in the rear of the vehicle when going over bumps. Luckily we get a new one at 60k, I'm just hoping it makes it that long. I'd honestly never buy anything made by Chrysler.
  10. Can't say I'm a journey enthusiast or really even a huge fan of Chrysler. Today, I picked up my 2013 se 4 cyl fwd. not a bad vehicle. The 4 cyl is horrendous. This is my company vehicle which is why I drive it. I'm going to be on here reading up a lot. Look forward to learning about my new mobile office. One question I have. The dodge site says the se comes with uconnect standard. I don't think I have it though. Heres some pics of it and my personal car.
