Hi there, new to the Forum just got my Journey 2 days ago nice Silver with the appearance package so it has the nice rims on it, and 7 row seating !! :D
But I was just wondering if anyone else is haveing so many problems with there's ?
I have put 100km(62miles) on mine, and the ESP-BAS light has come on about 6 times, and stays on. And yesterday the 2nd day I had the vehicle, the check engine light came on, and it wasn't just the gas cap like i was hopeing, It just won't go off.
I also had a really bad whistling noise coming from the dash, I figured it out after the dealership couldn't. It was the A/C filter that is equipped on mine. Did not have the cover installed.... When I test drove the vehicle i found the plate that needs to be installed and asked what it was but nobody new. The stealer told me they installed it the day i picked it up. But the noise was still there, so I called and asked about the extra part. They told me it was still sitting on there desk? ?? "But you told me you installed it..." ??? so I picked it up and took the glovebox apart in the dealership parking lot, installed the cover, and the whistling noise when stopped and idling is gone, but another whistling noise when i have the fan at full speed is present, but found out that it was the air flow control valve in the upper dash, and does not look like much to install a new one. Also the cruise won't disengage when the brake is applied, which I thought was strange when i was on the highway and also hit someone.
I did not know that a rental or courtesy car is not supplied when the vehicle is in the shop, even if it's 2 days old....and even after the salesman promised me and my witness it was. It was delivered to me still dirty, I don't think they did a pre-delivery inspection because there too was no windshield washer fluid when I got the vehicle... Found that out when I was driving and had someone splash mud allover my car... not being able to see was not fun.
So just really wanted to vent my frustrations..... I drive alot because I live downtown and nothing is close to me.... I just wanted to ask if anyone else was haveing so many problems with there 2009 Journey ?
