  1. Does anyone know the screw specifications to hold a license plate on a Dodge Journey? I went to change my rear plate from the dealer and the screws just fell out and won't go back in. I think they didn't know what they were doing and wedged the screws into place.
  2. Thank you all for sharing. So two of you changed the stock tires and mention "very good" and "like a dream" performance afterwards. I too thought this might be the reason for my experience, but wanted to eliminate other possibilities before spending the money. Some mention driver ability, common sense, adapting to the vehicle, and environment. I rate my driving abilities as second only to hard core driving enthusiasts. This is my 36th winter driving in snow. Over the years I've adapted to eight different cars (most FWD, some RWD, none AWD). Throughout all of this I continue to earn accident-free auto insurance discounts. Four of you rate your experiences with snow driving using the stock tires as "little problem", "favorable overall", "great", and "no problem": This would seem to indicate that the Journey in proper mechanical condition, and it's stock tires, aren't the problem. It is possible that there is something wrong with mine that the dealer did not see. Does anyone know what type of mechanical change and/or malfunction could cause this poor handling in the snow?
  3. We otherwise love our Dodge journey 2012 (original dealer tires), but it has absolutely terrible handling in snow at all speeds from starting at a green light through highway driving. I just brought it to the dealer for an oil change and told them about this problem. After checking it out they found nothing wrong with the car and offered me the solace that winter is almost over. I've owned a Volkswagen rabbit, Ford Taurus, Chevrolet station wagon, two Dodge caravans, and the Dodge journey is hands down the worst handling in snow of them all. I used to be the hotshot in the left lane without a care in the world, and now I'm the granny in the right lane barely keeping up. Any ideas?
