  2. use to have problems with the caps coming off the lug nuts (cheap nuts from chry) mostly caused from air guns over torquing the lug nuts. you might have to drill it out. before doing this go on amazon and order you a complete set of solid lug nuts cost is quiet reasonable ( $ 20-30)and also use a torque wrench from now on when putting the lug nuts back on.
  3. i dont believe a used 2016 is eligible for the lemon law
  4. how many miles on the journey?, thinking you might want to change all your plugs while your that far into it, just a thought
  5. they sent me a letter saying they wanted to give me 2 months free on my 2014 i never kept it after the first year, i just threw the letter in the trash...
  6. so is it a 2017 or a 2018 either way still new but different values in price?
  7. the mopar full warranty should cover anything down the line in repairs, congrats on the purchase
  8. learn something every day here... hope i never need to use the advise...LOL thanks bfurth
  9. i had a 2011 ( a few problems with the undersized brakes) had 70 k on it liked it so much i traded it for my 2014 crossroad have had one small oil sender problem at 45 k but my extended warranty took care of that (100. ded) plan on driving it till i pass on or it does. that said if your so worried about things you have read you might want to get something else. just remember you usually only hear the bad stuff about things and the good praise usually goes unsaid. good luck on what ever you decided.
  10. might find it at your local auto salvage yard also,,, bfurth glad you posted this i didnt know the location for this part, does each wheel have its own module or is this for all 4 tires?
  11. hope you didnt get hit to hard on the trade in, you will like the caravan just as much or maybe more than the journey as it will give you more room inside in case you got kids. i like the styling of the Journey better but the vans are really about the same and share a lot of the same components. good luck and be careful with your new purchase.....
  12. usually its between 80-100 for a diagnostic check, if i was you i wouldn't bother having it fixed unless it is bothering you real bad, you might find a after market garage that would be a little cheaper i guess,
  13. did you ever disconnect the battery for a while? it may be holding onto the old code after moving the wheel, good luck but sounds like a trip to the dealership for an expensive visit if its something you cant live without.
  14. from what i seen they have a special tool that connects to the car that interacts with the main tpm modual and that has to be done soon after installing the new tpm. havent had any experience yet with problems from the tpm but i bet you are going to have to make a trip to a garage for service on your journey. good luck and keep us posted
  15. google you tube for great info on most repairs.............my daughter just spent $250.on repairs to her sons car that was using coolant and after they gave it back to her after replacing thermostat and flush an something else ,2 days later it is still using coolant. i googled the car model and coolant leak took me 2 minutes to see this car has a bad history of leaks at the heater elbows that go thur the serpentine belt tensioner bracket and so i washed it off at the car wash drove it for a few minutes and sure enough it was leaking just a little bit at that elbow , so at least we know what to do next but you tube videos are a GREAT info for problems.
  16. well sounds like they picked option # 2 or 4 of your options you gave them i would go new if at all possible as it sounds like their used inventory is not that great. your story reminded me of a deal i did yrs ago with the local ford dealer i was buying a mustang and their was a bad scratch on the drivers door of this brand new car, so they said dont worry we will fix it so they got me to sign the paperwork but at least i did get it in writing that they would fix it at a later date well 2 weeks later took it in to have it fixed and then went to pick it up later and all they had done was use a paint touch up pen and didnt even do a good job at it. i went ballistic fought with them for couple of weeks and they finally fixed it but then the paint didnt match to great but i was tried of arguing so i learned a valuable lesson never buy anything till its fixed or walk away.....hope things work out for you i feel your pain
  17. just another reason i wouldn't buy an awd over, just fwd
  18. glad you found the forum lots of great info here.welcome to the group
  19. i have a 2014 5 seater but the cover only covers from the back of the back seat to the rear i dont think it will cover the rear seats when down but on yours maybe it will... good luck
  20. check the forums as this has been discussed before also might want to check you tube for info on how to open

    over heating

    well this has nothing to do about our journeys BUT my grandsons 2006 Pontiac grand prix started to over heat yesterday and before the heat gets in the danger zone, the car shuts off the air conditioning and shows a warning that it is because the car is going into engine protection mode, HUH thought that was a great idea all cars should have. Ended up being a stuck thermostat so the garage did a flush of the system and replaced it. saved him from burning up the engine as most young people like him doesn't pay any attention to the car,,,,
  22. i use a Mr. clean eraser with a little Windex on the windshield does a fantastic job getting the road film off of it , never thought to try a coat of wax i did buy some rain x but it seams that when i use the new stuff, when going real slow like a parking lot and very light rain it makes the wipers start to jump or chatter and squeak if it is a heavy rain or using the squirters they dont jump or make noise, so i quit using it as of now .think ill give it a coat of wax and try that.
  23. from what you have described looks like you have covered most of every thing, i would replace the rubber brake lines as mentioned as it would be the least expensive thing next, iv never had that problem but you are up in the rust and salt belt so that might be your problem other then that i would suggest a brake shop for more answers.good luck and report back what you find. P.S. there is a certain way to bleed your system so check that out also.....
  24. that is a lot of clicking, i would be ready if i was you that it might quit one day or strip the gears in the future, might want to run it by the dealership or a garage that handles things of that nature and just see what they think of the noise, and the could give you a heads up on what they think and a ballpark est. of what it might cost to fix so if it does break down you would have a head start on knowing what you are facing. good luck and take care.
