Thanks Guys; appreciate the comments. I'll just keep watch over these - hopefully by Spring, things will have worked out... Plus, I'll be picking up a 2011 Liberty this weekend with the sky slider - something I wanted since I saw one a couple years ago. So, between both vehicles, I'll have plenty to keep my attention until then...

Thanks Guys! Like most of you, I'm a multi-gen Mopar Owner and lean that way with all my vehicle purchases... And because of that, want to see our vehicles take "tops" in every aspect. (so if I'm coming off as whiney - know its me going after that last ~10% for perfection :-)) With that, one other thing I'm finding is that the side-mirrors are not adequate, and really needs the "blind-spot mini-mirrors"... I have read a few posts that mention further mirror adjustment would help and have tried that. But again, with the video monitor down, and the new mirror adjustment, you basically lose sight of the entire rear of the vehicle. The way I drive - that's a hazard :-) Does anyone have any installed on their side-mirrors they like? Interested in size/shape and corner-location more than anything....

Hi All: Just wanted to throw my 2cents in; Overall impression is GREAT. I could have gone with another Durango, but would not have been able to get all the same interior options of the Journey R/T (Fully-loaded with Wi-Fi, Sun roof, rear video group, leather heated seats with red stitching, etc.). I was really looking forward to beating up the uconnect and rear video systems, as I highly customized my Durango several years ago (back in 2009) to provide the very same features. (shamless plug of the Durango) From that stand point, no complaints - except navigating the NAV is more painful then should be and the journey really should've had headrest monitors - not the fold-down console monitor... When this thing is down, forget about visibility out the rear... BUT - all-in-all, still rates an "A"... I will add that with this tech, the absence of the "lane/blind-spot warning" is perplexing - and the fact that the Durango R/T and other models have a "better" radio then the one in the Journey R/T. I would have imagined the R/T trim line would have at least the radio in common... I should have posted my other thread here about the rest - but will just mention I erroneously posted it under the year model-2015 section (so I wont double post those items)... Any comments on that thread or anything in here is greatly welcome!

Been looking at the Journey as a replacement for My Durango; read a few reviews on this and other forums and decided to do it. Of note, seen a bit of people complaining of the TCS wearing our rear pads in some of the earlier models - and notice a bit of pulsing in the pass-rear when engaged during braking (not constant). To another point, the brakes are extremely "grabby". I've been remembering to disengage it on every trip. But am now thinking I should leave it on and measure the pads every three-six months to see if this is an issue... On the tranny, it seems to have odd shifts occasionally - with a few times shifting perfectly and notice it fumbles with 1st, 2nd and 3rd in moderate to heavy traffic (congestion). This gives other drivers the appearance that I am sleeping behind the wheel, as I cant give a little gas to keep it at about 3-7mph - which then requires me to give a bit more, which ends with the journey racing into 3rd gear (more times than in 2nd) just in enough time for me to hit the brakes. So I now manual shift into 2nd (nice to be able to start out in 2nd gear) until traffic improves - which eliminates the "inattentive driver" in me :-) SO - Just wondering what other owners experiences have been... I just broke over 1K miles and hope some of this will "wear-out" once completely broken in...
