My dealer said I can wait to 60K to change the fluid but wants 299.99 to do it. Seems expensive but trying to tell me it's not just a flush, it's the dropping the pan(which I doubt) 

There is a card on the notification letter that you need to fill in, and mail back to FCA as you no longer own the vehicle. FCA can then send the new owner the recall. I do not think that the possibility of losing one's ABS deserves an LOL.

I already threw the card out, didn't realize I should have mailed it back. I didn't mean to to be funny towards the new owner, meant it more like that I thought it was funny that I didn't get the recall on my current vehicle only one I sold.

I got my letter, but then checked the vin and rellized it for the Journey I no longer owned. Guess the person who bought it isn't getting the notification. Lol

I think jkeaton is right on the money with this. First, I would do as jkeaton says and take a ride with a service advisor in order to specifically demonstrate your concern to them. If you still have issues after this, I would try another dealership. Unfortunately, if a dealership really can't duplicate what you're experiencing they won't be able to diagnose or repair your vehicle.

I'll probably bring it to the dealer local to me instead of the one I bought it from.

Technical service bulletin

I printed out the TSB, gave it the dealership, still saying can't duplicate my concerns or that we don't hear anything, even though I've brought it in twice for the same issue .

I'm not totally stupid I'm just wondering from the people that have a heat wheel and a steering wheel cover.

I got a heated steering wheel, have never thought about having a cover, at least not in the winter months, would just defeat the purpose

@jkeaton- I'm not on this forum to complain or exaggerate things, just explaing and trying to get feedback on my problem. I appreciate all the feedback received so far.

@Dusty256- yes I know things can get hit on the road( hence reason I did take the optional road hazard warranty when buying the car) and like you said there probably is a lot of testing that goes into the tank itself, when I looked into the location of the tank itself doesn't have any protection or shield and hangs lower then the rest of the car, probably cause of the rear storage bins, making it more prone to damage.

As far as the gas gauge, after another week in the shop was told needed new fuel pump, sending unit and float assembly. Seems odd to be changing all that now with only 6k miles

I don't see any relation to the car overheating and having a problem with the battery and starter. Sounds like a head gasket issue but try a different mechanic or the dealer as that mechanic seems to quick to change parts rather then disgonse the actual problem

As of now there is no aftermarket replacement if you got the 8.4 in touchscreen. Like you meantioned you would loose the use of climate controls

No I never contacted insurance, I verified though that I do have a comprehensive deductible of 1K so it didn't seem worth it. They only thing they said about specific detail was that there was some sort of line down the tank and then said it was punctured.

Update- 3 days later took it on a road trip, was suprised at the gas mileage, long behold I was wrong, the fuel gauge doesn't work now. I found out the hard way, went to the gas station and said fill it up and it took over 19 gallons and it was still reading half on the gauge and even the digital display showed 192 miles to empty. Next day CEl lights on P0461- did some research and it comes up at Fuel Level Sensor Circuit. Seems quite coincidental, contacted Dodge again, told me to bring it in, but the holiday and all it going to wait to Monday, so for now I drive around with the CEL light on and put gas everyday till I find out what the dealership has to say this time.

Amazing, had 3 Journeys already and couldn't tell the difference between them and now any hopes of change are shot till 2018, 2019. People are going to loose interest in the vehicle if it doesn't change with the times and modernize

Somebody will probably fix it and re sell it, surprised for no air bags and minimal damage like that wouldn't even attempt to fix it

Finally picked up the vehicle today, almost two weeks later. Dealer wouldn't even give me a loaner and now got a 1,500 dollar bill to pay. There statement is vague " Tech verified fuel leak. Inspected and found fuel tank damage due to impact causing fuel to leak. Remove and replace fuel tank assembly and road test ok at this time". Parts 1085, labor 332.80, tax 96.62, shop materials 12.50= 1,526.92 dollars.

Referring to @bfruth I never got to see the old tank and the dealer isn't going into much detail.

I just can't believe how a 2 month old car with 6k miles and under full warranty and even bought the Maxuim care extended warranty brought to the dealership for a fuel leak is going to result in a comprehensive claim. My auto insurance policy doesn't currently doesn't even have glass coverage and my comprehensive is a 1k deductible. But like @bfurth it's probably something I could change on my own but for the year and to buy a fuel tank probably going to be a result of having to get the part from the dealership anyways. I find it perplexing how something supposedly so big and massive to impact the fuel tank and pop it (even though I never hit or ran anything over) and not cause damage to any other part of the vehicle like oil pan, exhaust etc.

Mine SXT plus got the cloth but heated seats and steering wheel, seemed odd to have heated seats and no leather. To my knowledge when you have the leather wrapped steering wheel you also have the leather wrapped shifter.

The dealership told me to go through insurance,I just feel like they just looking to not warranty it. My deductible is 1,000 so even if I went through insurance they only going to pay the remaining 500. Still the fact I didn't hit anything on the road and that's it's brand new I guess don't matter

I highly doubt it should say "Plus" on the rear. Pull your window sticker that's the key place to check.

Probably not the right category but couldn't find one that fits . So I bought a 2015 Dodge Journey SXT AWD Blacktop back on Aug 29,2015 this was to replace another Journey as this being my 3rd one and quite happy with Dodge and the Journey line. The truck was back twice in the first month as the air conditioning would drain into the cabin of the vehicle and flood out the carpet and mats, but my issue now is a fuel leak. I was driving on the BQE in Queens, heard a loud pop, didn't think much of it, kept driving and when I parked at my job there was gas leaking from under the vehicle. I called to have it towed, wouldn't tow till the fire department came and made it safe as it was a fuel leak,the fire department came along with the hazmat team and drilled a hole in the tank to drain it and thus make it safe to be towed. Truck was towed from Queens, NY to Sansone Dodge in Jersey and after sitting there a few days was told the tank suffered impact damage and it's my problem, not under warranty and want 1,500 go fix it. I never hit anything or ran anything over. Also telling me the gas tank is plastic (polymer) and it appears to have cracked from impact. I'm not one to complain but this is a 2 month old truck and it could have easily blew up with me driving cause the gas was leaking all over the place as I was driving and I had to pay for a tow, plus the Haz Mat clean up costs and best yet, won't give me a rental. I really am out of words for Dodge on this one.

@dhh3- the only thing I would change is get some 3m adhesive remover and get rid of the decal from the dealer under the journey badging. I hate when dealerships do that , the first thing I did was threw out the license plate brackets and removed all dealer branding

I don't understand why you used a card that was closed. Need more information

When I bought my Lockpick for my Nitro, I bought it on ebay from a Factory Authorized Coastal Dealer. After about 2 months, the Lockpick stopped looking. He asked me to send it back to him. Then, he would send it to Coastal for them to test it. Someone at Coastal signed for it, but it was lost in their shop! So, they just sent me a new one. It still was working when I traded my Nitro for my DJ.

The only reason I bought a Lockpick is because Mopar never offered a Camera Kit for the Nitro. The image showed on the Mygig screen.

Remember, if you already have an 8.4 screen, Nav or non-Nav, you can get the Mopar Kit and the image will show on your screen. My 8.4 is non-Nav, and I had my Dealer add the camera as part of my deal when I purchased my DJ.

The small screen radios (4.2), I believe, are not camera ready. There are members on the forum who have swapped out their 4.2 for an 8.4 and then added the camera.

If you have a 4.2, a Lockpick should show the image on the screen. I am not up to speed with these new radios. In fact, the only thing I hate in my DJ is the radio. I wish that I could swap the 8.4 for a RBZ Mygig, v50, with the 30 gig HD. The older DJs used a Mygig or that size radio.

When I originally made the initial purchase the card was active and by time I had gone back and forth with coastal almost 2 weeks had passed and the bank had closed out the card. I purchased it direct from their website. I have the factory 8.4 in non navi but i really wanted the lock pick for the ability to add more then 1 camera and I'm tired of every time the truck moves it locks out the video on the front display but continues to play in the rear.

CoastalTech.com has the worst customer service and now I refuse to use their product. After I ordered the Lock Pick C8 and paid extra for 3 day shipping I get informed that cause my shipping address and billing address didn't match it goes against their fraud policy and canceled my order on me, after going back and forth through emails I said just ship it to the billing address if that would be fine, some guy Alan at coastal tech tell me that we already issued a credit back and won't sell you the Lock Pick, I even further tried to explain that the card I used was closed and that I can't get the credit and they said they don't care and the money was issued back and wasn't their problem that I am unable to get my refund and should contact the charge card people, so as of now I lost the money I paid and no product.
