I hit 32,000 miles on my original Kumhos and the left rear had wires showing in one spot. I replaced them with Pirellis. They seem like a good tire with good reviews.

I received a recall notice to have the power steering hoses and cooler replaced yesterday.

Thanks for the info.

I have to go to my dealer to have the antilock brake recall done. I'll have the nav checked the same time. On a side note, I can watch DVDs on the replacement unit. only when vehicle is not in gear, but the original one didn't play them at all.

My replacement radio has been working fine. What I'm asking, because Dodge is calling this a recall, is Dodge going to keep replacing the units for the life of our Journeys?

I already had one radio replaced for the can't unlock maps thing. Are they related? And is this a one time deal?

i just received my notice today, but had problems last winter with anti locks and all wheel drive. My wife was in a fender bender last winter because of it, but I can't prove it was because of it. Last winter our 14 crossroad would not have all wheel drive or anti lock brakes at times without warning. no messages in message center, but would only spin front wheels. It seemed like a moisture, ice problem to me, but the dealer blamed it on the stock tires. It only had 10,000 miles on it then.

Mine did the same thing on May 17th.

He's 33 years old, and tougher than me. haha. He used the Journey to take his family my grandson's out of town basketball game. I trust him. Like I said the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

My son borrowed our crossroad, and when he returned it I checked the max speed on the navigation screen...129 mph! All I can say the apple don't fall far from the tree.

Our Crossroad's nav. has been fine. Almost 1 year, 15,000 miles.

I had the new wheel replaced yesterday and also had the windshied washer repaired. The problem with the washer turned out to be a bad relay. The new wheel is a little lighter in color.

My insurance company assured me that anything accident related would be covered. The harness runs from under dash to everything under the hood, and would have doubled my claim if repaired the right way. It would have been easier to change when the front fender and bumper was off.

We bought our 14 Crossroad in May of last year, and when it had under 1000 miles on it my wife hit a sharp rock and slit the inner sidewall of the rr tire. so I had to buy a new tire, $220.00. Then in January she got in a minor fender bender with a pickup truck with a plow on it. The plow hit the right front tire and pierced the right front fender. it didn't look all that bad until it was pulled apart at the body shop. It bent the wheel and tie rod, The main wiring harness also got cut when the plow pierced the fender. Our insurance company would not pay for a new harness because the shop spliced the wires to get it to run. We just got it back last week, and it looks great, but when my wife went to use the front windshield washer it doesn't work. I'm betting the body shop missed a broken wire in the wire harness that should have been replaced and not spliced. Oh and the 19" crossroad wheel is still on back order. Our new Journey just doesn't feel new anymore.

Everyone I've talked to is missing my point. The service AWD drive light only came on once, The next time I started my Journey the light, or message was gone, but i still only had front drive. Being that I haven't driven on roads that weren't covered in snow since November, I can tell when All Wheel Drive isn't working. It's an intermittent problem.

We have had over 130" of snow this winter with somtime 12" of snow that the Journey plowed through. In fact I was going to post on how well the Kumhos handled the snow. I shut the traction control off only to have it come back on immediatly. I know for a fact that the rear wheels never even tried to spin and the fronts were spinning llike crazy. It has been working the past few days, and we have a lot of winter left to see how things work out. I've lost peace of mind.

We've driven 11,000 without a problem. When I was stuck in an intersection with only the front wheels spinning is how I know I only have front wheel drive. And let me tell you an awd with only the from wheels spinning is scarier than a front wheel drive with summer tires. I' be been winter driving for 42 years.

I've had my Crossroad AWD since May. LOVED IT, until last Wednesday. My wife drives our Journey 35 miles to work every day and she has driven it through bumper deep snow on occasion without any problems. Well last Wedensday on her drive home from work the Service AWD message pops up, and of coarse she only has front wheed drive. I work afternoons so I didn't get a chance to try it 'till the next morning. When I started it up no message tells me anything is wrong, so when I drive it it still has no AWD. I got it in to a dealer Friday morning where the found 2 codes stored, cleared them, told me I needed winter tires, and sent me on my way. I live in Upper Michigan, and the closest car dealer of any kind is 50 miles from me, and in a different time zone. Anyway on my drive home my Journey doesn't have AWD again, and no warning message comes up on my dash. I'm Stumped. And I'm not buying the You Need Winter Tires Excuse.

Seeing there are a few of us now, am I the only one that has smooth leather seats. Mine aren't perforated.

Welcome! Another Michigander with a Crossroad here, only I'm a Yooper. I traded our 13 Dart for our Crossroad because of the long winter we had.

Welcome! I have a Crossroad myself, bought it in May, and already have 3000 miles on it.

Western Upper Michigan.

My salesman told me I bought the first one in Central Wisconsin.

I liked the Dart a lot. I bought it new, and put 24000 miles on it without any problems. It was such a long winter this year that all wheel drive was a necessity. The dart had the 1.4l turbo, and six speed manual Limited so it had most of the options. 40 MPG road trips were nice too.

And here it is>
