  1. Well it happened again, out of warranty of course, this is the second unit I will be having replaced.  $100.00 under my extended warranty.  I wish I could get this to happen a little more frequently, as I get the updated maps for $100 instead of paying the $159 they want.  Next time I'll just take the less traveled road and load my own if I can verify that is all it needs.

     

  2. Can someone POST GOOD pictures of where to LIFT the front and rear of the vehicle? I do not mean the jack points, as that is where my jack stands will go. I want to be able to go under the car for maintenance and do brake service on the front and then rear. I have an AWD model if that helps. Thanks! All the manual states is the normal jack points. Thanks in advance, and I did purchase a new jack, the old one failed, blew a seal.

  3. I have a HEAVY Journey. 2014 Crossroad AWD V6 with Towing package.

    Is a 3 TON floor jack sufficient? Also what are you guys using? I was looking into High Lift Jacks, they are less than a floor jack, and I will be using Jack Stands after I raise it. I'm not doing a lot just brake lubrication and changing the brakes when needed. Maybe tire rotations but that is about it. Everything else is done.

    Thanks!

  4. Being that you are in Canada your going to need to put snow tires on it in the fall, start saving up for a new set of tires in the spring so they all match. Take it to a Dodge Dealer and have them do a complete look over, It may cost you say $100.00 or $200.00, call the to make sure what the cost is up front! Once that is done that should be your piece of mind. If they find anything major that is not under warrantee, take it back to the GM dealer. If they do not find anything wrong, then inquire about the extended warrantee, since they know nothing is wrong with the vehicle it may be your best bet.

  5. I have a 2014 Dodge Journey Crossroad with the V6, I currently have 5574 miles on it and am averaging about 20-21 mpg. I drive mostly highway to work and back. I was just wondering how long does it take for the motor to break in so I will get a true reading on the GAS mileage? I have been tracking with the fuelly app since I got this in July. I do not get on it at all drive mostly between 55-70, maybe 25% city per week on avg. Does this seem normal, is this all I'm going to get out of this? I do realize what I purchased, it's a heavy vehicle I get that. Just wondering if anyone else is getting similar results. Even with this downfall I still could not have touched a better vehicle for the price. I did not want a 4 cyl and I did not buy one. I looked at the Ford Escape, Honda CRV, Toyota Rav 4. None even came close, this vehicle is a pleasure to drive. Mine has everything but the sunroof which I did not want. Overall I'm pleased and would purchase this again without hesitation.

  6. Ok, so I have only had this 1 week and I don’t know everything about it yet, however…

    Daytime Running Lights – Not working at first but looking through the settings I found the option to turn them on, and low and behold they work!

    Weather tech rear window guards fell off while driving into the vehicle thank god, a quick search here in the forums, a dremel tool and some 3M auto tape and I’m back in business.

    Interior is really quiet, V6 had plenty of power to get the job done, as others have noted the transmission is a bit slow to downshift but nothing I cannot live with.

    NAV system is really good, learns the way I want to go and remembers it, awesome!

    Stereo rocks! Lots of BASS when the EQ is turned up. Sat radio I have NO opinion on as I have not looked at it yet.

    Rear Entertainment System, what can I say I do not sit in the back, but the kids’ love it and it keeps them quiet.

    LOVE the passing blinkers, for those that do not know just tap the turn signal, it will blink 3 times in the direction you taped and then turn off.

    Gas Mileage, well I have 528 miles on it, and I’m on my 2nd fill up so no tracking until I fill up tomorrow. The computer is showing 21 to 21.4 so far, I’m thinking it’s going to improve as it breaks in.
