We had that great relationship, but Chrysler took that way, they closed 3 of archer motors dealerships, left him with a Volks, and GMC, He had 2 dodge, and one jeep. We were great friends with the owners. Good people, sorry they killed his business, and left Allen samuals alive in all theres. They could have down 1 or 2 of both them, not fare, but now we have to drive 15 miles away. But the other dealer found what the IDOITS did, and fixed it. Forgot to plug something in.

LOL, I know, I was stumped about that one, so took the wheel off, what it was I had spun it 180, so there was a slight twist in the rubber brake line, so removed it, and twisted it 180 degrees. Far different from upside down, lol.

Guys take a clear look at this poster. First time to sign up was when my vehicle went in, and I made multiple comments on the history of brekes and such, as we have shared on this board. He signed up then, the only posts he made was on my problem. and his sign up date is the same, interesting, dont blow smoke up our butts. TPMS monitors our off, because we got rid of the 19" rims and thoose terrible Komo tires. The rim guys wanted to charge a arm and leg to put sensors in. Air filter is in my garage, as is new oil for the exact replacement time. Also, we just had a front alignment done 2 days before engine service, and our texas safety inspection also, amazing there are no indications of ABS sensors out. We would not have passes inspections on the systems. And how do you install a brake caliper upside down, ????. What lengths does this crappy dealer go to defending the POOR customer service. I was handed a dirty greasy car, with idoits lights on, and when I started ranting and getting pissed, they told me it was my fault, and get off property the sherrif would be called. Way to go Allen Samuels of KATY. Take a look at RIP-OFF-REPORTS, and the BBS sites, they have a reputations.

Just to let you guys know, the so called manufacture rep, DJService, is the Service Manager of Allen Samuels Dodge in Katy texas. In all my years of buying, and servicing cars, I have NEVER been treated so poorly by any one, especially Jackie, his assistant. By the way the car came in with a TPMS idiot light on, due to the new tires/rims, and it went out with 3 more lightd. Front right ABS sensor out, but we drove the car poorly, and its not under warrenty. ANYONE in TEXAS, DO NOT USE THIS DEALER.

We have the 2009 SXT, got it as a demo, NEW with 5k on it. 3.7L v6. We shot a rod through the block. Originally told me it had no oil in it, then they pulled the pan, about 2.5 to 3 qts in it, plus lots of metal. Still no cause, they are trying to get out of it. Arbitration is next.

Ok, I do all my own maintenance, even if it is an engine or tranny rebuild. I am very good about oil and filters, but stupid me does NOT keep RECEIPTS. So i have a lifetime warrenty on a blown up engine, even though it did not run out of oil, and I always change bewteen 3500-4000. We went to the local rip off experts, Allen Samuels Dodge in Katy, TX. The lady in charge puts me through the 3rd degree, every question was designed to put myself into a trap. There are memo's out in the world, that have said that the dealerships must stop large warrenty repairs, and even have gone to state that they are not really responsible, since it is not the old dodge, but a fiat dodge, and bankruptcy can keep them from paying. OK MR OBAMA, you said you would uphold the warrenty. Bottom line is DODGE sucks, and I have 3 more years to pay on a vehicle with no engine. By the way, there are lots of strange engines blowing. My friend had a jeep, 2009, 3.7l v6, same thing as mine. No idoit lights, nothing, runs rough, cough, then dead

I posted late last year, and got locked out of system, so try this agian, since we finally moved away from the factory rims, and tires. I have complete set of 5 19" rims and tires. We are keeping 1 rim, and tire for emergency. We have 4 complete, 2 brand new tires, and 2 ok. But rims are PERFECT. These are FACTORY OEM. Send any request to mbardsley@consolidated.net

I do all the telecommunications work for all the Enterprise Rent a Car sites, including the sales locations, and service centers down in Houston. I was talking with the service guys about some issues with the Journey's. The warned me to keep a close eye on the brake wear every 10k. they are running through brakes bewteen 10-12k average, and its just not pad replacement. In almost every case, they have had to turn the discs, or even replace them. The new Carivan also has the issue. Just a heads up, I am at 11k, and sure enough pads are almost gone, thank god I looked before disc damage.

both of our flip covers on the visor mirrors are broken, as well as the conversation mirror. looking at them reminds me of something you get at the dollar store. just cant wait to hear the dealer on this on.

There are a lot of sites with speedo calculators based on tire sizes. Take a look. I have the 19" P225/55R19 Kohmo peice of junk tires on mine. Switch to the stock 16" tires, there is over 11% differnce in speedo. THERE IS A DIFFERENCE!!!!

We upgraded, so anyone interested in the factory 19" wheels with Kohmo tires on them. They have 8k miles on them, no scatches or marks on the wheels. only 3 tires. We had a road hazard, and as you all know, they are not under warrenty, which prompted us to go to discount and get us some warrentied tires/wheels. We are in houston, can arrange shipping anywere in lower 48.

Well we got our Journey SXT with 19" tires 6 weeks ago. 3 weeks into the vehicle, we picked up a small nail in the sidewall, unrepairable. No one has this size, went to the dealer, $225 per tire not including mounting, and wont have it for up to 3 weeks. Fix-A-Flat got us going short term. 2 weeks later, tire 2 goes out. another pin hole object in sidewall. So know am looking at being out 500 plus for tires on a brand new vehicle, dealer is gone, due to Chryslers Bankruptcy. New dealer could give a rats butt. So Good al discount tires, they are a Kohmo dealer, Told me to get rid of thoose "Soft tires" nothing but trouble. Good luck find 19" tires, not many made
