    hello again,

    i was very happy to hear that you had knowledge of chrysler components and internal information on fixes to the power steering system.

    as you know, we have a pressure return line that has blown, we are in canada and the temp is very cold. i have read that the usa has recalled a safety issue with the pressure return line that might leak on hot surfaces and cau...

    hello,

    read your responce to the graoning rubbing noise when turning left. it has fixed many members problems with the power steering system. my problem is that there seems to be a major problem with the pressure return hose on these vehicles. ours has blown, no replacements, back order everywhere. did they fix the previous defects? should the tech flush the system when he replaces ...

    I (MJM48) took two vacation days and visited relatives over the Thanksgiving holiday. My last forum posts / messages were 11/25 and even that was tough because the forum was not responding most of the day.

    Power steering fluid reservoir, it is located on the left side of the engine bay near the dash panel. The new one looks the same as the old one its just taller and holds more fluid.l

    The new cowl screens other people reference have an extra hole for another fastener. If you get a new cowl screen the dealer still has to drill a hole in the lower air box for the fastener. Either repair will correct the noise. 1/2 hour is correct for the reservoir. I spoke with Wally and he said he replaced the reservoir. I also talked to Wally about the WIN module. You'll be all set on December 2.

    NAC Chuck - There are no software updates for your radio. The software update I think you are referring to is the RRT for NAV radios (REU sales code). So any Journey dirvers out there with a NAV radio and a build date prior to 10/6/08 should ask dealer to flash your radio with software version 8.119 and/or apply RRT 08-085. You can check the build date on the sticker on the driver door - it will be listed as the MDH which stands for month date hour in this format MMDDHH. The failure mode is loss of audio and inaccurate Navigation data.

    Regarding the buzzing noise, have the dealer apply TSB 23-027-08, this will address the cowl screen issue. Also ask the dealer to look at the exhaust using TSB 11-003-08. I'll investigate the dash lights flickering and let you know what I find out.

    08-087 is not a recall, it is an RRT which is a prompt to the dealers to get them to proactively apply a TSB. This one happens to deal with power steering grinding noise when turning. Even if you don't have the noise now let the dealer replace the reservoir, it will prevent noise in the future. The noise is not a safety concern only an inconvenience. The help line didn't know about it because it wasn't a safety, emissions, or customer satisfaction notice. Vibrating at high speeds sounds just like a cowl screen issue. Ask the dealer to apply TSB 23-027-08. At the same time tell him to apply TSB 11-003-08 to check the exhaust just in case. I want to make sure he fixes everything in one visit. The no crank issues sound like a WIN module problem. What is the last 8 of your VIN (9TXXXXXX). Explain the problem to your dealer, and ask him to replace the WIN module. Please let me know how it turns out. If you need any help with the dealer let me know.

    TSB 11-003-08 WAS JUST RELEASED TO ADDRESS THE METALLIC HOWL, RATTLE, OR DRONE SOUND. THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE.

    If you have a Journey with NAV you have an REU radio not an RER. Please take your vehicle in to the dealer. He will have the correct update disc for you.

    That is correct on the Journey the NAV radio has the screen at the top of the center stack and the controls (joystick) at the bottom of the stack. The NAV radio option on Journey is REU not RER. All other Chrysler vehicles have NAV radio option as RER.

    The service bulletin for grind / rub noise while turning is released. TSB 19-002-08 For those of you that followed my advice for the interim fix and had the dealer overfill your reservoir, the next time you are at the dealer tell them to apply the TSB and get a taller reservoir as this will ensure the noise does not return. The TSB for exhaust howl / growl will be released shortly. If you're also affected by that issue keep your eyes on that thread for the TSB number. Thank you for your patience
