my dealer couldnt do it but said they used local shop called kat skins (i think its spelled different ) cost me little less than $500. and it doesnt work thur the radio it has buttons on the side of the seats also on the passenger side they cant put the heat pad on the botton seat just the back because of a speacial senser in the seat bottom.

well i have had a 2011 and now a 2014 crossroad and with both i avg about 22mpg driving a little city and more hwy driving about 70 mph. i always go by miles divided by gallons and that is what i mostly avg. now if i looked at the evic i see 24or 26 or 22 always a little diferent. that only tells you what you are getting at that time and doesnt figure in stopping and driving i just posted 45days to vegas post and had a running total of about 2200 miles and avg22.7mpg loded with a 3 wheel medical scooter and some city driving while we were there. then reset it before coming home and on 1800 miles we got about 24.3mpg so you are getting about what you are going to get. all roads and driving experince will affect your mpg.. good luck p. s. both of my vech were frt wheel drive.

well left out from al going to vegas and took 3 nites going out about 1800 miles, no problems and was getting about 23mpg figuring mileage by gallons into miles of course evic was reporting a little better .this figure included city driving once we were out there so i was happy with it, was loaded with a 3 wheel medical scooter so there was some extra wight. once there had a problem with the unlocking and locking the car by touching the handles or trunk button but thought well wait till i get back, then the next moring the air would only come out thur the floor vents, started it and shut it off and all the movments thur the air control buttons but nothing changed so called a local dealer and made a apt. for cople of days down the road to take it in. well the day i was to take it in the air started working okay thur all the vents so called and cancelled the apt. and since then no more problems with the air but the locks still acting up every once in a while also if i get out of the car with the keys and then start going towards the rear of the car and the wife gets out and locks the car it will sometime beep as if the keys are still in the car. will let the deaker look at it next time when it goes in for the oil change. got sick for 2 days with some bad sea food man that was rough. well had a great time and didnt lose all our money that we took so drove home and was getting a little better mpg about 24.3 and evic was always saying a little better. of course the elavation helped get alot better mpg. but ended up real pleased with how the car drove on the trip.....

welcome to the site..

well my 2014 has a slight problem sometimes unlocking and beeping at me 3 times after i get out and manually lock the car and shut the door as i walk by the rear hatch corner the car will beep three times and unlock it self. or it if i get out and the wife locks her side as she gets out and i am by the rear of the car it does the same thing. not happing lot but enough to be a need to have it checked out next time it goes in the shop, but of course they will say they have to see it happen before they can do anything and as we all know a watched pot never boils... P. S, also when it happened with the wife locking the car she does not have her key fob with her, for some reason the car thinks there is still a key fob inside the car while being locked.. will be going on a long vac on monday so wont be able to talk to a dealer for about 4 weeks.. will update if and when i find out anything......

i agree with lobitz68 as you can buy a 2014 right now with 4k rebates and prices getting better as the 2015 are now being sold . and with a 2013-2014 you get the upgraded brakes that are alot better than the 2011-2012 as far as the transmission problems i am on my 2nd journey and would recommend the journey to any one wanting one..ALL car manufactures have some problems with their trans and brakes and as lobitz68 stated you can buy an exteneded warr over the internet at a great discount i was just checking and for my 2014 crossroad i cab buy a bumper to bumper mopar unlimeted yrs and milage for $2245.00 from zeigler dodge dealership. which i plan on doing after i get back from my vacation.. so check around for your best dealer but i would go new vs a used one....

check with your dealer to be sure but if it is frt wheel drive only and not all wheel drive then yes you should be able to use a tow dolly with the front wheels lifted , but as i said check with your dealer just to be safe......

i had the weather tech window guards on my 2011 and first time i lowered the rear window bang out the window it went i stopped and gotl it and only a small scratch on the edge of it but not bad ,and when i bought my 14 crossroad and i traded in my old one i took the front guards out but have not installed them on my new one and not sure i will. seems like after i put them in my 2011 i got a little more wind noise or road nosie. so i guess that was a waste of $75. for them oh well maybe ill try to sell them on craigs list...........

Well getting ready to go on a long trip and needing a little more room in the back and with the 2 seat option you have a 3 section lift floor that gives you more storage. problem is when dodge designed it, they put the side with the carpet on to match the car on the back section that you have to lift up,it is very hard to use the way you have to lift it so. I just flipped the whole thing upside down and put the smooth vinal side face up and it makes it alot more sense and you can then lift the one end section up with one hand instead of having to wrestle with it the way it comes from the factory you have to use two hands to flip both sections just to put something under there. What the hell was the dodge enginers were thinking when they come up with their way of doing it.Have had the car for about 2-3months and have been fighting with this since I got it... LOL oh well

welcome

well if they are clicking while turing then they are bad sometimes you cant see the dry bearings inside the boots,have never changed them on a journey but i did my daughters 2007 caravan and it really wasnt that hard after you do it you wonder why they charge so much check out you tube for vidieos on hoe to do it..... good luck

well my 1st journey my11 had a few clunks every once in a while but over all about 75k miles with nothing to make me worry untill the end and then i got a code saying something about the trans while in the repair shop which they said it was a glitch in the system and nothing was wrong i ended up buying my new 14 crossroad journey and with about 4k on it so far and getting ready for a trip which will add about 5k more, havent had had any problems so far so knock on wood...so i guess i am a happy camper with my journeys.......... P,S, which engine did you have????????

at least your dealer said it could be done. my dealerships in al. said they have no idea on how and they said they called the main help center where ever that is. just what did your dealer tell you has to be done????

dont expect any help or info from Dodgecare on this subject i have sent several messages to them and even jouryman425 has tried to help and get in touch with them with no luck. bought my 2014 couple of months ago and cant find out anything and i want to keep my journey all OEM mopar so i really dont want to go after market for them. What ever the problem is it all seems a little weird but hey maybee DodgeCare is still on vacation as some want to suggest for the last month or two.. oh well.........at least our friends up north who have DodgeCaCares to help them here from their rep..

hate to say it but the music sucked had to turn it off.. lol hope you enjoy your lights

well i think i am about to pull the trigger on buying the lifetime max warranty and so far the best deal is from Zeigler dodge dealership up in michigain. he wants $2240. using the (gregh) discount but after talking to him he said he could drop it an other $25 by useing (save100 )code so about $2215. with the $100. deductabile per occurance. also the lifetime max coverage is not transferable to the next buyer but it can be cancelled at any time up to 7yr or100k which after that there is no refund.i am thinking since i plan on keeping this one alot longer than my last one and since i am retired i dont need to be trading cars every 3yrs like i used to. and since cars are getting so much more expensive to fix, this does sound like a great deal. what do you all think and or any better deals on OME dodge warranties out there??? still hoping to get a better deal.....oh and thanks to gregsJourney for the link to the Zeigler website as it sometimes is hard to pull up on google.......P.S. when i was talking to bob about the plan he said no taxes on it and said dont forget to use your best reward credit card when paying for it.. so that would be about $25. more off when using my rewards card... lol looking for every trick to save some $$$$$$$

welcome to the site..

any help here on this problem DodgeCare???????????????????????????????????????????????//

yesterday i rotated the tires from front to rear straight back and then took it for a drive well the pulling to the left was gone so i called the dealer and told them what i had done and he said to bring it in tues morning so 8am i am at the dealer and talking to them about the tire problem so he said well since its not pulling no more drive it for about 3k to see how it works.i said well i am going on a trip in 3 weeks and by the time i get back i will have traveled about 6k miles and since they already have about 3500k on them if i rotated them once i get back and the problem comes back would thet then say sorry to many miles now? he was going to do a run out test in the tires this morning and i could see he was trying to get out of it. so i kept asking them to do the test so about 25 minutes later he comes up and said your ready we just went ahead and put 2 new ones on to replace the suspected bad tires. I thanked them and took off and it was riding a little smoother on the way home as after i rotated them to the rear it was feeling a little more rougher ride towards the rear. so i sure one of the tires had a problem with it.. any way alls well that ends well.....

well back from the dealer, oil got changed and they said alinement was dead on so guess ill rotate the front tires to the rear to see if it makes any difference, they wont about 2.5 hrs labor at $85. =212 plus parts so going on a vac. for a little bit so will wait till i get back to decided. called a different dealer and he said it would take 4.5 hrs.. lol which one would be right ..

welcome to the club...

going to the dealer in the morning to have the first oil change a little early but its the first one and free so what the heck and also going to have them check the frt end seems to pull a little to the left, also was going to see how much to add the remote start. i see on the mopar web site its about $299.for the oem parts and i get a 25 % off parts and there is a dealership that offers us UAW retirees a hourly rate of $65. so i think i read some post on here that it takes 2 hrs at a dealership to install it so if thats true should cost somewhere about 224. plus tax for the parts and about $130 for install so about $350. total hope it works out. more later on how it comes out...

I must have missed something in your first post. but what made only your rear tires wear out so soon?Were the front tires okay?I agree the bolt with no nut was sloppy assy. and if you needed new rotors on the rear with only 8 k they should have been covered under your 3/36k warranty as i had problems with my front rotors on my 2011 and at 10k so they turned them, and then at 28k they replaced them under a goodwill warranty replacement.also were they charging you to check your car while it was under warranty as that doesnt sound right? And some members have posted they put on drilled or slotted rotors and then developed some noise problems with them, i have never tried them, so i dont know as i have always just used advance auto rotors on my cars and never had any problems with them. Sorry you are having problems with your journey and let us know what happens in the future.....

yes i have turned them on thur the radio and for OhareFred this has been going on for over two weeks and DodgeCare has been posting on other problems the last couple of days and i am sure he has seen this post. now why he wont comment i dont know and as i know its not of big importance but if it could be added i would like to and if it cant no big deal but its not only my problem as several other members have stated they would like to get it activated on their 2014 also.and i know the eariler years of the journey 2011-2013 as far as i know all journeys came equipped with the drls, and some came with them turned on and others were not but you could add the sales code and then have the dealer do his little thing and they would work.so really it all boils down to why DodgeCare wont answer the qestion or try to help us 2014 journey owners, this will be my last post on this subject.......

yes i did ask journeyman425 for help as had others and he said that the sales code cant be added for the drl for some reason and that is why i was asking DodgeCare if he could help US members out that had 2014 journeys be able to get them installed and for aftermarket addons i would rather keep my dodge all OME. but my main question is why DodgeCare wont or cant help on this subject,as i said before DodgeCaCare was wondering the same thing since he was from Canada he couldnt help.
