TheStewie Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 I tried our VIN in the recall site even though we have ours to see what would happen. It shows the vehicle correctly a Black RT hatchback. I am in Canada so anyone can use it to see if the vehicle is in fact in process. I tried 20 numbers altogether in sequence and it looks like approximately 1 of 10 is an SE of some sort, 2 in 10 are SXT's and the rest are RT's at least in the VINs near my own. Special orders or just Chrysler's guess at sales I'm not sure. TheStewie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob, I am glad to see you are so close to getting your Journey. It has been so long. Well, I had an interesting day yesterday. First, I got an email from Dodge saying thanks for subscribing to our site. That is all it really said. I thought -- hmmm -- I signed up for that back when I order the car. Why I am getting this now. I got a little excited since I have been in D status for 7 weeks -- maybe it has changed. So, I called 800 # and yes status just changed to D1 with a ship date of 7/10/08. So, it seems that the email was sent based on the change in my status. I called the dealer and he looked it up and said yes your order has changed and it only takes 2 weeks for the car to get to the dealership. So, I am looking at having my car on July 24th. This will be a total of 13 weeks since we ordered the car. Quite a Journey in deed. I will try to keep everyone updated. Work has been a little crazy lately.

TheStewie Posted June 28, 2008 Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 Ya Lagers sure makes you wonder don't it? Keep me posted for your VIN. I have to stop by the dealer tomorrow and see what he has found. I have a mind to wait for this one I had on order just to see if the VIN is what it was suppose to be and to see what is offered for "compensation". I just may just to see some back pedalling. If he has something for us, great if not, I'll wait. Hey great idea by the way dencord123!!! Can anyone in the States please check my VIN for me, the last 8#'s are 9T208467 ???? Rob I punched into the recall space at this site http://www-5.dodge.com/webselfservice/dodge/index.jsp and got this back "VIN Number: 3D4GH57V0 9T208467 Vehicle Description: DODGE JOURNEY SXT AWD HATCHBACK Model Year:2009 Which means it should be built or close to being built.. a good start.. the Stewie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They looked into it and indeed it was They had to ask how I knew before them. One day it was showing "Vin # invalid" and then that night (june 04th it showed up as the SXT AWD Hatchback) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snow_Runner Posted July 1, 2008 Report Share Posted July 1, 2008 Congrats Rob, looks good. Did you get the ATC HVAC?? I guess you get the record for the longest wait, but after all that I guess yours has less mileage on it!!!!! Enjoy, and have fun with it. Keep us updated. Rick.

Hit-By-Thunder Posted July 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 congratulations Rob. sandstone is nice, eh. still only 2500 klicks on mine. We will be driving this one only for the trip to the lake and into Edmonton every now and then which is 20 minutes away. We got the biggest baddest warranty available to us Canadians (Gold plus) covered for 7 years and 115,000KMs. Also have the paint sealant undercoated, doors inside sprayed and the reverse polarity box for rust prevention. few issues are there are 2 tiny grease spots in the back behind the 3rd row seating, also looks like someone stepped on the 2nd row driver's side booster seat leaving a slight footprint. There is paint sealant over spray under the hood and doors. and the wheels had overspray from when they put that stupid "tireshine" stuff on ( I hate shiny tires) Salesman said no worries, it still needs to be detailed. Undercoating looks great. When I started it, the first thing I did was a hard turn to the left, seems ok. Also put the car in drive then bumped the shifter ahead, great news, it popped into neutral and that was it. It never went past into reverse or park. We will be picking the car up Thursday night after work. ( 1 more sleep ) Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hit-By-Thunder Posted July 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2008 Well it has been a Journey for sure. Took possession today at about 5:30PM and what a great riding, quiet car. Was it worth the wait,.....yes, oh hell yes. Wife let me drive it home, rush hour traffic on the yellowhead is always stressful. Got it home and right away added the LED lights to the rear cargo lamps and to the lic. plate. Been playing with the car all night and really enjoying the NAV. I did not know this but the Nav gives you Approx ETA to your detination as well and is very easy to use. Input my home address but it was set for US not Canada. Switched it and away we went. My son who is 12 suggested we call the lady voice on the Nav "Lola" the same Lola from the movie RV with Robin Williams (The big rolling turd, Class A Motorhome) has a small scratch on the driver's side "A" pillar and no other issues at all. No unusual noises, grinds, pings, creaks, rattles, growls etc, nothing just smooth and quiet. Will be off to the lake lot tomorrow after work 424km's round trip, see how we are after that. 65kms on the odometer Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dencord123 Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 Well I broke down and called dealer again toady he said car should be here on July 23rd. looks like it will take a total 12 weeks from order to delivery date. 05/02/2008-07/23/2008. Dealer said no we are looking at 8-10 weeks top. But I guess the dealers have a different math system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I called dealer again today and now deliver date is 28th But he faxed me the Vehicle Status report. Today it is in Cheyenne, Wy just a little over a 100 mile from Denver but the report says it will be loaded on the 22nd to a rail car to Rolla, CO then it says unloaded from rail car 23rd. Vehicle deliver date 7/28 I caint under stand why would it take 5 days after it gets to Colorado. I also dont understand why not just let me Drive to Cheyenne and pick it up myself. and I have never heard of Rolla colorado. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
