Sounds like a lot of variables to consider. If the tires and rims check out ok like you said, then I would lean towards the spacers too. Maybe the nuts are not torqued evenly, or wrong lug nut for the rim. If it is the wrong lug nut for the rim it might have the tendency to loosen on its own. Have you taken you Journey mud bogging? I doubt you did, but maybe you have some debris on the inside of the rim throwing it out of wack. Just throwing other possibilities out there. I once bought aftermarket rims and had to get some different lug nuts. Eventually I found out later it was the wrong type of lug nut and could become loose. Where the lug nut seats to the rim the angle was slightly off and that is why it would get loose.

Yes it could be done. But is it worth the price? It would be very expensive to do this. I have never used snow tires. But I hear with snow tires they can make a considerable improvement. The law where I live says if chain law is effect you can get away with not putting chains on if you have AWD or snow tires on.

I would say the windows are getting frozen to the lower window sill as well. One morning I went out to the car and the window hung up for a second untill it broke the little bit of ice built up. If you really need your window down, use a credit card or something similar and slide it between the window and rubber strip. Be careful you could actually tear the rubber by doing this. Been there and done that with another ride.

It would not surprise me if the buttons are there and they don't work. One vehicle I had did not have the wiring for the low fuel light. I have the same buttons and I don't have a use for them(No garage). So I could not tell you if mine actually work.

Welcome to the club. Where do you live? I live in Riverton. And I am real curious of well the AWD will work up here. That was one of the selling points for me too.
-
Glad to hear that you are ok.
-
The only thing I can think of is to get screens put in the headreast. Something I would like to do on mine.

It sounds like it is a law in Canada to have winter tires. This has not been the first time I have heard this. You would think you could get some slack with AWD. For here if chain law is in effect you can avoid putting chains on if you have AWD.

If I remember right Dodge had the same problem when they started putting 17's on the ram pickups. There was a very little selection to choose from.
-
Bought mine off the show room floor. Options are below. Sounds like Dodge wanted to put some 3rd row, & AWD models out on the showroom first instead of filling customer orders first.

Pulled the car into the driveway yesterday and noticed the low air pressure light was on in the dash cluster. It was getting dark so I did a quick check to see if the tires were up. They appeared to be fine. Today I started up the car and the light came on again. Checked the tire pressure and all the tires were at 31 psi. Factory sticker calls for 34 psi. So I inflated the tires to 34 psi and the light is off. I just thought I would throw this info up. The low tire pressure seems to be pretty sensitive.

I don't think you have much to worry about the corrosion. The corrosion will be more likely if a wheel weight is over the damage. The wheel weight will act like a sealer and keep the water retained better. Thus causing corrosion. What will happen is over time you will be able to see the damage to the clear coat more. It will kinda look like the coating is flaking off around the damaged part and be a different color. I have some curb rash on one of my rims. I will take a pic tommorow when there is more light.

Another thing you could do is measure the length of each wiper and take note of what kind of connector it has. Then just go to any store that has wipers, pick the kind you want and match up the the size and connector. I think they are the big bold numbers. Those indicate the length.

Thanks. Hope you get your Journey soon.

Gotta agree with that. Not much of a bracket. Looks like the lower holes have been added with those push pin thingys. But at least it get the plate off the body to prevent scratches on the bottom. My old car had a decent bracket on it. Kinda thinking of getting me one of those to modify to fit on the Journey.
-
Any pics of it. Curious to what it looks like. Just might have to pick one up. Mine did not have a front bracket.
-
Looks like this might work for you. Link is below. But I am not sure if it works with non power locks. A person could call them up to find out to be sure. There are probably others available but this was the first thing I found. http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.a...mp;autoview=sku

Thanks for the clearing it up. Those mats look alright. But I would rather have something that went across the whole floor like these in the link. More than likely I will just have to buy a one size fits all and trim it to fit in good. http://www.canadiantire.ca/browse/product_...D=1219182599433

My guess is something is hanging up on the rails. Or the factory didn't lube it properly. Hopefully it is an easy fix. I had a door lock sticking on me and all it needed was a lube job.

Welcome! I hope your Journey is a lot better than the Liberty. Some dealers out there just don't give a crap. I would find a different dealer to go to. The two I have been to are ok. I can usually get my vehicle in within a few days but I am a little bit skeptical of there work. There could be a reason I can get in so quickly. Nobody likes going there maybe. I am not 100% satisfied with them, but they seem to get the job done and treat me decent. Now the other one which is 25 miles away from me is supposed to be better. But from what I have seen they are not worth the extra drive to go to them. It usually takes almost two weeks before I can get in. The manager is great but he seems to be the only good thing there. I took my truck in there to have the transmission looked at. It was hunting gears and I know what the problem is. So I wanted to see if they could figure it out. They didn't. All it needs is a govenor selonoid. Pretty common for that transmission for them to be replaced. Had it done at the first dealer without any problem. Seems like mechanics these days can not problem solve anything without the computer telling them something is wrong.

Welcome and enjoy your stay.

Congrats on the new ride! May you have many happy miles with it.

Looks good. I just had mine done recently. I put 30% on mine. I would have liked to go to 15% to match but it would have been too dark for the girlfriend.

Thanks for the site. But I couldn't find anything on mats on their website. Everything showed up as not found for the Journey.
