How did you get the harness through the firewall? I am trying to hook up some lights using the same mount. I have a 2010 R/T and can't find a grommet to pass the switch wiring through. The LED lights I purchased are easy to hook up, but I can't power up the relay using the high beam circuit (without modifying the harness; voiding the warranty) so I have to run the lights manually. I can't even find a decent spot on the dash to mount the switch.

I had this happen with my 2010 this winter. When they replaced the battery, the replacement failed the third time I started it. Replaced again, and all is good.

I was having the same issue with the voice commands in both my and my wife's Journey's. However in the last couple of days it has gone from not working at all, to taking a lot of time to select the right station, to working perfectly again. I wonder if it just had to re-learn the way I speak.

Go to your bluetooth connections, press the menu key, and one of the choices is MAP options. Check to see if SMS/MMS is checked

My Blackberry Style has MAP protocol, all devices running BB OS6 have it. Unforunately, I only have a 2010 Journey

I am coming up on one year with my Journey and have had only one issue. My battery had a bad cell and would not start (with the Journey plugged in) at -30C. Chyrsler had it towed 2.5 hours to the nearest dealer to be fixed. My brakes are still good, and of course there are going to be random sounds of protest coming from under the hood when asking it to start up in sub -40C temperatures but nothing that I am overly concerned with. My wife's Journey has been even better with no issues other than driving over a nail and having to replace a tire. Luckily our dealer was able to get us a deal on those rare 19" Kuhmos. The tire shop had one left and we got it for slightly over their cost.

The piston on the rear caliper needs to be screwed back in. There is a special tool for that.

Mine does that when it is below -25C and I haven't let it warm up for 5-10 minutes first.

Bell has a similar deal. I think it is at dealer invoice, once every two calendar years.

In Canada, we don't have to worry about voiding a lifetime warranty. It isn't offered here.

Go to www.carcostcanada.com website and get a membership. When I bought my two Journeys, they saved me about $1300. You will know exactly what the wholesale and retail cost of the vehicle and all the option packages.

If you have an extended warranty then you shouldn't have to worry about anything other than another brake job. Just replace the low quality stock pads and rotors with quality aftermarket ones and then you won't have to worry about that either.

They come on when you turn on the rear defroster

Just before Christmas my wife picked up a screw where the tread meets the sidewall (unrepairable). Local tire shop in Sudbury had three in stock, charged around $300 with installation, balancing, disposal, and taxes.
