Hi all,

update: got 4 new tires and got 4 new sensors from eBay ($60 aud)  fitted today and the issue is now fixed. 
 

thanks to all for assistance. I don’t use this forum as often as I should, but when I do it always provides the answer.

9 years and 120000km it’s still the best car I have ever owned ?

Thanks all, I am due to replace my tires within the next 6 months or so. I will get the tire shop to replace all 4 TPMS then and hope that fixes the issue.

Hi All,

had the "Service Tire Pressure system" come up with front left showing --(see attached). I then swapped front left wheel with rear Right wheel went for a  30 minute drive and the front Left is still showing --  (the rest are showing the correct PSI)

This makes me think its the actual TPS Module that is Bung.  Can someone please confirm where this is actual located (i have read left back wheel arch & also Front right wheel arch)

Any info or advise would be appreciated I have purchased  4 new TPSM but I don't see the scene in changing the front left one if the Module is actually broken

Thanks

Hi 2late4U.

replacement camera is still working as expected 

Hi All,

long time since I have posted here (apologises) . Well last week my reversing camera decided to invert the image or just show lots of black lines. So after checking out youtube decided to replace it myself. The boot lid cover is a bit of a pain to get off, just go slow there are about 12 clips that need to be popped off the body.

I ordered this camera from ebay Australia(may be cheaper in USA)

and now my camera looks like this

Happy day.

its been almost 9 years of ownership & 117,000km and the Journey still puts a smile on my face every time I drive it

Hi all,

Been a while since my last post (life gets in the way sometimes).

So just hit 7 years ownership 96,000km (60,000 Miles)  and journey still makes me smile every time I drive it. Yes I had the Map issue 4 years ago which was fixed under warranty , no issues since (wish I could find a more up to date map for Australia but that a minor thing). There are still things the Journey has that most new SUV's still don't have 

Under floor storage in 2nd row

Passenger seat storage

passenger seat fold flat so you can carry 2.7m (9foot)  timber inside the car

2nd row doors open 90 degrees

2nd row seat base folds up when you slide it forward to give better access to 3rd row

Roof racks as standard

LED tail light as standard

The only addition I have made is to installed an LED numberplate light bar

Here's to another 7 years of great ownership

Welcome WytChoclij,

Hope you enjoy your Journey as much as most of us do here

Hi All,

My 2014 dodge  journey got the  "cant unlock Maps" feature . 

I understand these things happen, took it to the dealer(as still under warrenty)  As im in  Australia the dealer advised 2 weeks to get a new unit from america.  It arrived in 10 days. dealer installed and now I have 2017 Maps rather than 2014 (win win).

After almost 3 years of ownership my dodge journey still puts a smile on my dial I still wouldnt trade it for anything else.

Hi All,

Couldn't fit my whole question in the title

"Can I lock my 2014 Dodge Journey with the metal key, whilst the FOB is still in the car??"

Reason for the request, I have a boat with a trailer, I would like to only carry the metal key with me in the boat and not have the FOB any were near water (better safe than sorry) .
 

Yes I have read the manual, but I can only lock the drivers door with the metal key (all of the rest remain unlocked) .If I lock the car from the drivers inside door,once I close the door all the locks "unlock" and the car beeps 3 times.

Maybe Dodge is just playing it ultra safe so FOB is not left in car (I can understand this as if someone breaks a window they can then start the car.

Any suggestion would be apprecaited

Thanks

Gary

just added myself, another one down under

something new to make me smile with the Dodge Joourney

• pause DVD player
• Change input to Sd card or radio
• get home turn off Dodge Journey
• Jump in the next day change source back to DVD
• Hit play resumes were you left off

I know these a little things, but it is the simple things in life I enjoy beacuse they just work

Hi all,

Just had my 24,000km (11,900 miles) Service on my 2014 Dodge Journey. The brake pads front and rear still have 90% left on them.

As the mechanic said "That's Bugger all " (I hope I have not offend anyone with the word "Bugger" if you have ever been to Australia its almost as popular as G'day mate

Gary

Great report Retired Chief,

As I have siad on this forum more than once they are a fantasic vehicle, only had mine for 18 months and not a thing wrong with it. Puts a smile on my dial evry time I get in it

Hi All,

Helped a friend load a coffee table into their Kia Sporatge on the weekend. Well tried to anyway but the middle seats don't fold flat so the coffee table legs hit the roof . So it got me thinking about all the little things I appreciate in my Dodge Journey

• Flat folding middle seats
• Under floor storage
• indicators that flash 3 times with just a flick
• Front head rest tilt forward at the bottom (so passanger can use a pillow on those 1000km trips )

I am sure there are heaps more that I havent mention, but it just goes to reminded me what a brilliant vehcile the Dodge Journey is

Gary

Welcolme to the forum, Great colour

Hi dhh3,

As Im in Australia this will be in Killograms . Boat is 210kg, trailer about 180kg engine 55kg ,plus all the other stuff you normally carry in a boat I would say 500kg all up. The dodge Journey tows it sitting on highway speeds (110km here in OZ) like its not even there

Gary

Hi all,

Well its been 12 months and 16,000km (9,900 miles) since I got my 2014 Dodge Journey R/T

Whats great

• Its and absolute pleasure to drive
• its comfortable, quiet, plenty of grunt, and loads of space
• my children love the DVD player, whilst mum and dad can listen to music/radio in the front
• The in built booster sear means my daughter is the same height as her brother
• The heated leather seats are great when it get to -8 Celsius
• fuel economy is sensational on the highway
• it tows my boat with ease

Whats gone wrong

• Absolutely nothing
• Not a rattle not a squeak

It puts a smile on my dial every time I drive it. If I had to use one word to describe my Dodge Journey AWESOME

Gary

Miles dammit, miles!!!

Ok

7114.7 Miles

My oil change light came on at 11,450km (7 months into ownership) so I wouldn't be concerned at all

Thanks jkeaton

I was just about to ask the same question, thank goodness for this forum. Perhaps though a moderator could fix the spelling of EXUST (Exhaust) in the thread title, that way it would make it easier to find using the search function

Had My journey now 7 months, 12,000km and not one single issue. Tows my 14ft aluminum Boat with no effort at all, great on the road, my kids love the DVD and the boster seats ,its just a great SUV

Wow,

You guys have nothing to complain about. Here in good old australia week before christmas I was paying $1.48 AUS a liter ( = $4.39 US per US galon). Now it down to $1.29AUS a liter(a mere $3.90 US per US gallon)

Hi all,

Just got back from the 1000km Christmas trip. Dodge journey fully loaded , 2 adults, 2 kids , the dog and all of the Christmas presents. Trip is from Canberra to south west Victoria 60% freeway (cruise control set on 114km) and the rest country B roads.

Trip computer shows 7.8L/100km and DTE of 940km

To say I am impressed from a 3.6L V6 is an understatement :-)

Welcolme to the forum from the land down under
