Hit-By-Thunder

update for all who are watching this thread, CURRENT......06/12/08......... On Rail - Valley JCT, IL. it's half way home Rob

well then I guess that's it Canada has the $1000 rebate as well, Thanks Scottstep, I wonder if I can weasel alittle more off mine then when it gets here? Rob

I am a little more anal about break-in so my first change will be after 500 KM's then again at 1500km's. Oil/filters are cheap. After the first 5000km's it will see Mobil1 and nothing else. I plan on keeping this car for a VERY long time. It will be babied it's whole life. Rob

Ya my dealer was saying the samething a couple weeks ago about the 3rd row being on back order. Only a handful are being built as the parts come in. Ours is on the way and is supposed to be here on the 26th of this month. I will stop by the dealer on Friday for another update. My ship date slipped from April 23rd to May 16th then to June 4th, ah well the $40,000 set aside for the Journey is still in the bank is collecting interest,..... Rob

Well Jay I would say that because the Dodge .ca website does not have any incentives for the Journey for us here in Canada (the Thank You Canada promotion), I would say that this dealer is advertising this on their own as a sales gimick to get customers to their dealership. This dealer is about 20 minutes from Detroit and I would also say that it would be hard to compete with "Motor City" that is soooooo close to them. Just my take on it anyways. Thank you Jay Rob

yes sir see my Sig

from D to pick up at dealer. most everyone here is like 6-8 weeks from order to pick up but there are exceptions some are 3 weeks and then there is mine I was in "D" status April 7th Rob \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/READ MY SIGNITURE\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/

hey Mike, I can't tell for sure but I think maybe a manual close for the sunroof. All power sunroofs/moonroofs have a manual close just incase of power lose. Can you see if the disc is removable or pop it off? It may take a small ratchet with a 10mm socket. I will be watching this one for the repliesw that come in just to see the correct answer Rob

LBD-CT, congratulations on the new Journey. Very nice of the salesperson to accommodate like that, that is for sure. Great pictures too, thank you for sharing them. I am happy for you guys now get out there and get some miles on that thing and give us a report Rob

I contacted Chrysler about this issue and they said in a nut shell,..."because most Canadians turn over their cars more often than the United States, the Lifetime warranty is useless for us",... if it smells like BS, it probably is BS. I hate the way we get painted as "Most Canadians" I plan on driving this car til it drops like all my other cars other than my 2001 F150, my next newest car is my 1991 Caravan (Rosie) that I will not part from. Sure would be nice to have a 15 year old Journey underwarranty!!!!!!!!!! Rob

I went back a bit through some threads I missed and seen this one. It was funny cause I was thinking the exact same thing. If you ever venture into this project, let me know and Vis-Versa. If anyone wants to get rid of/sell there cargo cover, I know 2 guys looking for one. Rob

Nicetrip, I think the rear quarter trim panels are different and will not accept the Cargo Cover. I was thinking the same thing as you. but after looking at the way the clips are molded in, It will not work without doing some modification to the rear trim panels. I too would LOVE to have the cover with my Flex seating I wonder if you can order the rear trim panels and install them? I don't know about seat belt anchoring for the 3rd row and where they are, now what I mean? Rob

hey Paul the REU is the radio model it has a remote screen for the Nav and the screen is also the same (sorta) as the other MyGig systems but it is NOT a touch screen. Also while in Park, the screen can be used for watching movies The only problem I have is the little joystick (its the black button in the center silver knob) to navigate through all the different screens. You can use the Voice command ( I hear it is a slow process though) I was tossed between the screen down low (RER I think) with the touch screen (would be alkward to see/watch) or get the Nav with the screen ontop of the stack. One big plus was the Radio was able to play DVD and CD or combination of both in the 6 slot radio. I opted for the REU which is the Nav system. I am not worried about Ipod integration as I can play it through the AUX port and use the Ipod controls Hope the picture helps you out Paul Rob

so basically this is the "State of The Art" AWD system that is backed by many years from a proven company that when a problem arises, it is going to be pricey to fix Great read, and thank you very much for posting this info. this is the best part,... By working closely with Chrysler engineers to ensure premium vehicle functionality, BorgWarner system integrators perfectly blend AWD hardware and controls to aid in creating an efficient, yet robust driveline," said Tim Manganello, BorgWarner Chairman and CEO Rob

also that Sat image may be a few years old. I looked at my house and it shows my Mother-In-Laws car. She has passed and the car has been sold 2 years ago. The one parking lot can hold 5000 cars that is mentioned also pan out and you will see other huge parking lots/storage area Rob

Brenda, Our Journey was in D status forever. Ordered March 14th, April 7th it went to D (VIN was issued) and May 15th it went to D1 but took another 3 weeks after that to build ya 16 sleeps is nothing now, hopefully it won't come damaged like Roxanne's did Rob

you know what? Ever picture I have with the heated front seats, shows the ATC (All R/T's) but I do have one picture showing the SXT with heated front seats and ATC I hope you are right as I wanted the ATC but did not want leather. It was a toss up, R/T with leather to get the ATC or the SXT without leather and no ATC. Hope everyone follws that turning out to be a great week so far. Car being built and now this woooohooooo again. Thanks Nicetrip Rob

I will take a look through my pictures hang on.......... Rob

you need to calm down it's only been 3 weeks Sorry I could not resist this one. I do know what you are going through,...... TRUST ME!!!!! It is sooooo frustrating being treated this way. I hate going to the dealer only to wait and wait and wait some more for an answer of " still the same" with no compassion. I do not need my hand held while I am at the dealer, but at least show some concern. Hang in there The Journey is getting very polpular with all the word getting out and more are ordering. Just look at the member count last was 158 tonight and climbing day by day. I look at the bottom of the screen and it is nothing to see 1-2 members on now up to 5-6 and about 1--15 visitors/guests. I just wish for you for the Journey to be here already Rob

sorry I can't help you out but I am going to watch for anwers/replies as I have the same REU/Nav system coming in our Journey Rob

well said Radon360. and couldn't agree more
