  1. wanting to ask for recomadations on what part brand have you used for a cv axle total replacement . my daughters 2007 sxt caravan is knocking on both sides when turning. was going to use advance auto parts but then got checking on internet and it seems like A1cardone select joints seem alot better they can be bought from napa or over the internet a little cheaper since they give free shipping and no sales tax if bought thur auto parts warehouse .com, was going to use mopar joints but they are so expensive about $600. compared with about $160. with the cardone joints and advance auto joints were about $80 if you order online and use their $50. off coupon code thur retailmenot .com.. since she is hard on her van i want to try and get the best quality for the best value.. thanks in advance for your imput......n
  2. NEVER depend on the display to check your tire psi. always check them by gage at least once a month and i run 37 to 38 psi in my tires and have never had any problem at all..
  3. look in your manual under warrenty and see what it says and or get the custermer ser. phone # and call them to see if they can help you......... i just googled chrysler 5yr or 100k warranty and it brought up the dodge warranty group and it plainly says left over IS transferable over to the next owner for a small fee. i would check it out then go talk to the dealer and if he is not answering your questions ask him to call the custermer help # listed in your manual. good luck be nice but take the bull by the horns. let us know what happens....
  4. well dont laugh to hard BUT i did my rear brakes a couple of weeks ago and about a week later started hearing an occ, bump or clunk noise not always but enough to make me wonder what the hell then i asked the wife if she has been hearing it and she said yes every once in a while. well finaly tracked it down. it was my big chrome flashlight in the right side cubby hole under the floor mat had come unwraped from the rags that i had put around it so it wouldnt roll around. fixed that back right and no more bumps in the night.....LOL
  5. ok did you buy from a chrysler dealer or a used car lot? i belive if you had checked you would have found out you were already covered for the bal of the orig.5yr 100k i think there is a small fee to transfer into your name. we need alot more info for us to help...
  6. well i learned somthing today. always thought it covered any tow just like my car ins covers. of course i never read my owners manual just thought common sense covered towing meant any reason. glad ive seen this

    well just got the journey back from the dealer,they said no damage to anything except the mark on the wheel and they did a front end aligment so total cost $59.25 alls well thats ends well......
  8. just a note using reg e85 gas will not hurt your flex fuel vech. because it has been built to withstand the amount allowed by law. but using methanol which i dont know if your talking about ethynol or something different . at the mixture you are talking about will almost ruin your engine i would think.but i am not a chemist. but iam sure it will eat up the gaskets and seals and cause corrosion in your fuel lines and engine parts. good luck and keep us informed
  9. WOW,,,trying a to save a few bucks and risk doing damage to your 2013 journey oh well good luck keep us informed of what happens..........
  10. change your cabin air filter (if your journey has one),and cars can get a smell in there air vents, try googling how to clean the unit . dont know what would make it smell like tar. good luck p.s. when you find the cause be sure and let us know

    Well i was pumping gas and all of a sudden the journey is bumped kind of hard and i look up and some old lady driving a 2007 crown vic while trying to do a u turn and pull up along side of my journey for gas, her front bumper hits my front right tire and rim. I say what the hell before i even see the damaged. Lucky her bumper hit the tire first and slightly scratches my rim and didnt do no damage to the fender or front bumper of my car. Well we call the police and make a report and now waiting on state farm to call me back so i get it my journey into the dealer to inspect for any damage and get the front end lined up. I think the rim will be okay with just a little polish on the rim to get her white paint off it. Hope to get it fixed before the weekend as i was going on a trip sunday with the journey.
  12. would need alot more info. but my daughter has a 2007 caravan and it has developed a noise something like a whistle and gets louder as she goes faster her mech said it was a air intake leak and said not to worry about it right now other then the sound . but why not take it to a dealer or mech for a quick check? GOOD LUCK
  13. i would go to the general manager of that dealership and would let him know what you were wanting and what was said to you by whom i suppose was the parts part and then i would tell him that when you did buy a new car it would not be at his dealership that had workers that talked liked that to custermers like that.. he might give you a great deal on the replacement fob to make up for his rude worker......
  14. my 2011 had warped rotors at about 10k and the dealer turned them, wasnt to happy about that but didnt complain to much, then at 28k had the journey in for a oil change and told them the rotors were warped again and they said well it was past the accepted milage for replacment under warrenty and we got in a heated discusion so he said if id pay for parts they would do the labor, they wanted about $250. for the pads and other parts. i told hell no i could do it for alot less and get new rotors and pads aftermarket. by the time i got home he called me up and said they would do a 1 time goodwill gesture and do the whols job free i asked are you going to turn or replace the rotors and he said replace since they had already turned them once. so i let them do it. so far so good have 66k on the car and minus the 28k= 38k miles on this set and no warped rotor and i just pulled the front wheels and the inside pad looks like it still has 50-60 percent pad left on them. the one thing i have notice that with the mopar pads when going thur a really heavy rain when stopping the pads make a loud noise first time when pressing them it happens very rarely has it has to be a real downpoor, dont every really remembering any of my other vechiles with different pads doing that.
  15. take it to a dealer they should at least help point out the relay to you or show you in their book which one it is in the fuse box or go down to your local advance auto or parts store and they should be able to help you find it and the relay would be cheaper there. might be the relay or something else but it would be the first spot i would start at. good luck
  16. we have a 2011 and when we go on a long trip the wife will lean the seat back to take a nap and seems like just about every time after about a minute or two the seat back will pop like the seat back was not latched in properly has happened with me also when we change out driving. nothing to worry about and since it is past the warrenty no big deal just wondering if any one else has had this happen to them..
  17. never have liked the rear wiper on our journey. only a 3/4 wipe while the caravans have a full wipe and comes to a rest at the bottom on the glass. oh well guess you cant have everything......
  18. are you sure you dont want them to give you free gas also ? sorry not trying to be a smartass but how long do you expect them to give you free brake jobs. true the brakes are not the best as ive had problems also and they gave me a goodwill gesture brake job which ive went at least an other 37k ,miles on and havent had any problems from the rotors but when i do ill do my own brake job as i have had other cars where the front pads wear out after about 40k miles. brakes do wear out and rotors do warped at different times for different drivers.. that said good luck and live life to its fullest......
  19. wouldn"t the cost of all new rims offset what very little gain you would get in MPG, i would think anything you might gain would be so small to be notice. but that would be my opinon, and of course you know what they say about...LOL
  20. well not alot i assume. if you can do it yourself it will still be quite expensive to do. just redoing front pads and rotors with quality parts will cost about $150 to $170 at least but will prob last a lot longer than the oem dealer parts. when the dealer did my fronts on a good will gesture i had 28 k and i have 65k on the same pads and rotors and still running good. when it comes time i will do my own with aftermarket pads and rotors. p.s. just changed out my rear pads and they could have gone abother 10-15k i guess but the pads were on sale and it was good weather.....
  21. had my journey one time about a yr ago showed me a message to check the gas cap. i did that then shut the cart off then back on and the message had went away..
  22. try removing the fuse and reinsertering again to see if that helps (like rebooting your computer) good luck.....
  23. has been talked about before check with your dealer for more info, also there are after market parts that can be inserted under the seat fabric try googling after market seat warmers... good luck
