welcome to the group....

bought some black magic tire wet gel and applied it to the tires 2 weeks ago and re-did the tires again today, sure does make them shine and look great. this stuff is better then the spray on kind that is real thin and doesn't last.this stuff is thick and gooey and they give you a little applicator to use and you just dab it on and or wipe it on and man does it last, it cost about $7. at Walmart but it is really worth it. i did the black plastic on the roof rails and around the front on the black edge let it sit on for a hour and then went back and wiped it off with a dry rag kind of buffed it it a little and it made ever thing look new and shiny and didnt really collect any dust or dirt on them. so I used the bottle 2 times and it is still over 3/4 full so it will be cheaper than using the cheaper stuff you spray on as it doesn't last as long as this stuff does. the tires really didnt look bad enough to redo yet but after washing it i still had a little energy left so what the hell......yrs ago i heard the stuff they sold wasn't really good for your tires as it makes them rot or dry out faster than normal but i go thur tires faster than most people as i just turned 40 k on this journey, to many casino trips i guess...

well as you all know my granddaughter van got wrecked last week so we have been out looking at cars her dad wants her to buy a used car or van up to 10 k we looked used and new she told me why do i want to buy something old and poss have to put money into it, so she is looking at a 2016 kia soul about 17 k out the door 5 yr 60 k bumper too bumper with a 10 yr 100 k power train, not happy she wants a import but they do drive great and gives her 5 yrs with no $$$ out for repairs, reviews on line have been good about them havent really seen anything bad so at 23 yrs old, i think she has thought it out and is making a good decision....her big argument is she would rather pay for a new one then a old one that was someones else problems

i have to say didnt you hear the noise before you bought it????if you bought it at a dodge dealership then you might have some recourse going higher up thur the chain of command. but if it was a car lot other than dodge then more likely buyer beware,,, good luck on what ever you find out

my 2011 broke on the pass side dealer replaced it then it broke again after warranty ran out i just held it up where it was supposed to hang and drilled a small hole thur the plastic and metal in the middle of the plastic towards the front and then ran a small black screw into it never had no more problem well traded in on my 14 journey and the pass side broke on it also so didnt even take it back to the dealer just did the same thing still working great..... yes its a cheap ass plastic part that is not really up to high standards but out of both cars was my only problem except for the warped rotors that the dealer fixed and never had any more problems SO i am okay with it and LOVE my journey........well just remembered had a small problem with my 14 the divers side plastic step cover came loose once when my foot hit it and lifted it,never would stay down after that the dealer fixed it just before it went out of warranty and if it happens again i see a small black screw going into it also.........

Glad to see ya.......

well if the noise as you stated brothers you i would suggest not buying it. as for me i love my journey, first one 2011 now a 2014 but like the other poster said i live in the south so not much snow,but i try not to be to picky about the little things. but like i said if this bothers you before you have bought, it it will bug the hell out of you later...good luck with what ever you decide on.....

well my granddaughter and her brother and his wife with their 1 yr old baby got rear ended today in their 2004 caravan that i gave her. they were stopped at a red light behind another car and a young girl slammed into the back of her van and then pushed her into the car in front of her, van will probably be totaled i sure. crunched the front end almost into the engine and the rear was pushed in almost to the rear bench seat... weird that none of the air bags went off!!!! everyone went to the Emerg Rm. but then they were released a few hours later guess they will be real sore tomorrow. at least the girl that hit her had insurance... her air bag went off and it had blood all over the steering wheel havent heard how she ended up... always thought if you were hit hard front or rear the air bags were supposed to protect you,of course they way the air bags problems going on maybe they are lucky they didnt go off....sure am glad they are all safe and the Emerg. rm was telling them that after a wreck they are supposed to replace the baby seat even if it doesn't look like nothing is wrong with it....you all take care out there and be on the look out for the other guy.all in a blink of an eye.......

i would take it back and let them do a cold startup and be ready to argue with them that they didnt hear it or its no problem.at least get it in writing that you hear the noise. kind of sounds like a bearing noise in the belt tensioner at first good luck

yes looks a lot better black...

i was talking about the rears which i mistakenly thought he was talking about, and yes the front blades have many different options on blades i prefer using bosh beam blades as they last a long time with no problem but they are a little pricey...

dont think any other kind will fit......

first off are you wanting better mpg? what kind of driving do you do city ? city ,hwy mix?the journey might not get the mpg you are wanting if you are heavy footed and do alot of city driving.if you do alot of hwy driving you will get alot better mpg. the journey is a great car and you will love it.price does seam high as 2017 will be out soon and they are offering 3500 rebates you should be able to get a brand new one for about 22k or even less but thats up to you......

yes just had that happen to me on my 2014 I returned the first one and tried a different brand and its no better,havent made it down to the dealership to check on theirs...funny thing is on my 2011 I replaced it with a aftermarket one and didnt have no problem....

i dont have a dog in this fight but it does sound like what camper is saying is right because that would prevent stolen radios from being used as you would have to know the vin for each one...BUT as i say i dont know the answer to the question being debated here.....

before i started buying more radios i would disconnect the radio from the wiring harness and drive for a couple of weeks to see if that actually is the problem before spending a lot of money and then find out it was something else.....

about 50 k miles

wonder if it was the first air filter change hope not......

regular replacement bulb is 9005 so thats why he had to trim parts of the bulb base of the 9012 bulb to fit in and for the connector to plug up to the existing wire connector..as the 9012 bulb is not the correct bulb for our journeys... this has been discussed in other post in the forum . as i havent done either option i am not for sure but i would think going led would be easier and cheaper than buying a 9012 bulb and then trying to make it fit for a little improvement that it may give ,but as i said before i havent tried either option, maybe some of our other posters can elaborate on it?

why not check with your DODGE dealership they will have all your answers that you will know IS correct instead oh hearsay, not trying to be negative as there is a lot of good advice here but you need to be 100 percent sure of the answers to your questions .....

check our forum on battery has been discussed quite alot easy to do if you are able to remove tire, do it yourself....

i sometimes have to push the button firmly but wouldn't call it hitting them

havent really seen the need for front or rear splash guards on the journey course we dont have much snow or dirt roads in AL. my journey seems to stay pretty clean down there, now the grill and hood from the bugs are a different story.......

just drill a small hole and use a small short screw will do

both journeys i have had the same piece got broken and replaced by the dealer and then broke again i just put it back in place and then drilled a small hole thur the side towards the front and then used a small black screw never had any more problems out of it. i assume you are talking about the black side panel on the side of the seat.
