    You can always try the " disconnect the battery cable" cure. Try disconnecting the neg battery cable for about 20 mins. That should clear the codes, see if they come back. If so, time to visit the dealer, it could be something unrelated to the oil change.

    I didn't mean to imply you were not competent. I was only offering a suggestion on your post. Did you ever get interrupted in the middle of something and miss the obvious? It's happened to me, but maybe I'm incompetent! Who knows? Maybe you knocked a wire off reaching for the filter, removing something, etc. good luck.
    Ps: my V6 takes 5 1/2 quarts to the top of the fill line on the stick.

    I agree with dhh3... Have you gotten a second opinion? Have they detailed how/why the cluster is suspect? That's an expensive repair if they are just guessing...

    That's exactly my reasoning. If anything it would be something computer related.

    The light switch is on the dash. The turn signal is on the stalk. I do not see what this has to do with the cluster.

    OhareFred got a reaction from dhh3 in FWD vs AWD in snow   
    I have a FWD 09 my first non 4 wheel drive in years. My last was also a Durango. The stock Kumo tires are, in my opinion, absolute garbage. I put a different set of tires on and got through Chicagos last winter ok. Didn't go out in the middle of a storm, but when I did have to go through slush/snow it was ok. Not even close to 4wheel and I did start in 2nd after almost every stop. Now they plow pretty good around here so that helped a lot . Not sure what else to say. If you travel in storms a lot go for the AWD, if it's mainly after, try your luck.

    OhareFred got a reaction from Lobitz68 in strut and bearing replacement, floaty steering   
    Did you really believe the "old lady only drove it to church" story, did you? It may have been a company lease car that was used by multiple people who didn't maintain it, they just trade them in every couple of years. I know my buddy's company does that. Abuse the vehicle then dump it before it gets too old. In any event, have it thourghly checked, repair what's bad, and I'm sure you'll end up happy! Best of luck!

    I would think its not that simple. You probably need to upgrade/ change computers, etc. as all wheel drive is not the same as old fashioned 4 wheel drive. Maybe one of our resident wrenches will chime in...

    You could also try cleaning the CD player if that's where the problem is. I think they sell kits.
    Lobitz, to my old ears it does sound great. Does everything I need it to. I don't need the license plate vibrating anymore. Guess I'm an average listener. : )

    OhareFred got a reaction from jkeaton in another dead battery?   
    You really shouldn't need a trickle charger. There have been a few updates that the dealer needs to do to the computer, as I recall things were not shutting down even when the car is off. If your battery is completely dead and all you have is a trickle charger, it may not be enough. Best bet is to jump it, take it to a dealer and have them check for the updates...good luck!

    OhareFred got a reaction from jkeaton in Parking Brake Light Comes On Randomly   
    I disagree with JKeaton. If the level is between low and full, you do not need to add fluid. More then likely your pads are worn. Adding fluid will only cause it to spill out when you collapse the calipers. Check your pads. The rears need a special tool to rotate the caliper cylinder in, they just don't get pushed in. The fronts can just be pushed in. A lot of auto parts stores will loan you the special brake tool.

    Dodge was offering an extended warranty on 09-12 brakes on DJ. Contact Costumer Care or have your dealer do it ( while you are there) and see if they will cover it. Nothing to lose. Search the forum, it's been covered to death! Good luck!

    You have to file a lemon law complaint with your state. You MUST HAVE copies of EVERY TIME your car went in. If you didn't get a sheet from your dealer each time or threw it out, no dice. It takes a long time. Do not expect them to come to you and say gee we sold you a lemon, we'll buy it back. It can be done but it's a lot of work on your end. No cost to you ( at least in Illinois)....best of luck

    When I go my 09 the dealer thought the exact same thing, Bluetooth and voice command. It was not in the car. I am happy to tell you there is an add on modual they can put on and it will work. I didn't get the mic in the mirror, but they paid for everything since it was advertised as having it. Hope they do the same for you!

    OhareFred got a reaction from Journey_SeXT in NEW brakes .... NEW squeak ... damn.   
    This sounds like your pads are wiggling around. Annoying yes, but not causing damage. There are two clips that hold the pad snug to avoid this. If you reused the old ones that's the cause. You need to replace the clips each time. A way to fix this is easy but you need to take everything apart again. You can purchase new clips and install them, and I always use a " anti-noise" coating.
    Every auto parts store sells a version of it. It's kind of a cream that's gets sticky. Apply the "cream" to the OUTSIDE (the metal side, not the pad side" of the the brake pad, reinstall the pads, and the squeak will be gone. A common mistake. Don't forget, you need to turn the caliper piston in, not just compress it!

    If I'm not mistaken, in Europe cars have a red "fog light" in the rear so others can see they are approaching another car. It's not to help you see, it's to be seen. Of course, I might be wrong on this.
