  1. alot of different plastic bumpers and other color coded plastics sometimes dont match 100% white seems to be one of them my 2011 bumpers look just a little off also. i worked in the van factory in st louis and that is the way they come into the factory from the venders...
  2. had a 2004 dodge van and kept it under a carport whole time i owned it no problems and the sold it to my daughter when i got my new one and couple months later she comes over and the rear tail light is out and is about half filled with water. the top of tthe lens had seperated and letting in rain water just sealed it up and put in a new blub and no more problems
  3. have about 62k on my 2011 mainstreet, a little problems with brakes but so far dealer took care of them frt and rear will be done my self this spring...
  4. if you have a re2 or re4 radio you could have a ome back up cam installed for less than $350. - 400 from your dealer and it would be 100% mopar with 12 k /12 month warrenty thur your dealer. go to lee parts.com had mine done about 6 months ago love it.
  5. havent had any problems with mine ,as soon as i got the low battery warning i replaced mine. have had to do both remotes once so far
  6. never have had a great history with mopar batteries this is the longest ive went with-out any problems with the org. battery going on about 3yrs so i am thinking of getting a new one put in rather be safe than stranded, and we dont get any where near close to the cold that you are getting ( THANK GOD) but that kind of cold is hard on the cars.

    why post with no input into your troubles,sorry your not happy i love my 2011 mainstreet
  8. people if you can take the time to go to a blog why not try to google your problem first ,any way try this web site....carcarekiosk.com i just googled this for you ,video will show where the fuse box is.. good luck
  9. p. s. also have had to replace the battery in both of my key fobs for my 2011 mainstreet.. my 2001 dodge ram truck still going strong on the org. battery in both key fobs?????
  10. will also tell you to tighten your gas cap. had that happen once when i was on a trip out to vegas. it was on tight but must have not made a good seal and poof the message was gone........
  11. 19mm socket is the correct size.
  12. sorry i went and checked out the leeparts.com and they do offer a remote start but only for 2010-14 kind of odd none for the 09 but thought id repost this info looks like aftermarket for you.....
  13. try leeparts.com which is a dodge dealer all the dealers told me that they couldnt add a rear camera onto my journey which is a 2011 with the 8.4 screen i went to over 4 different dealers. so i gave up on it then someone on thiis blog mentioned this website saying he was going to get the parts and do it himself. so i checked it out and yes the parts were all mopar and factory accs. so i printed it out and took it into my dealer and about 3 weeks later he installed it. all the dealers didnt know the parts were able to be ordered. hard to understand but hey it worked they gave me a 12month 12k warrenty on the parts and labor and i have been real happy so give it a try there shouldnt be no problem why they cant order the parts dont know what the cost will be but on my rear camera and install was less than $360. which was cheeper than any other rear cam system thur any dealer or custom car shop... Good luck p.s. as far as they say it was discontinued doesnt sound right as i thought most car parts had to be stocked for at least 7yrs after a vech. has been discontinued. my son had a after market remote put on his honda minn van and it is act alot better than the one that would have come standard on it from the factory not sure what his cost was?
  14. kind of hard to follow what you are saying but brake problems on journeys are quite frequent as i had some problems with mine and the dealership replaced the frt. pads and rotors on a goodwill gesture like your dealer did but i also understood that this was done as a last time fix under warrenty to try to keep me as a happy camper. so when and if i need more brake problems i will take care of it my self and not go back to the dealer for more brake jobs. and since my last brake job that was done at 28k i am now at 61k and the brakes are still fine. also 2.5 hrs is a little long for a oil change but if they were checking out your car for brake noise or other problems that time lag is not to bad. did you have a set appt. time for the oil change? hope things get better for you~!!!!!
  15. i have a 2011 3.6 and used the free dealer oil changes which they use reg oil. now after the free oil changes used up i switched to full syn oil which i have used for the last 10-15 yrs do not use blended syn oil as what i have read its not as good. one note i tried to upgrade my free oil changes to using syn oil and my dealership couldnt give me a firm price to use the syn and then the last oil change they quoted me about $50. for them to up grade to syn . i laughed and told them no way... buy your syn mobil one or penzoil or any syn oil ( i always catch mine on sale ahead of time i have about 4 jugs of it now) should cost between $20 to $26 a jug and then i get a oil filter from the dealer for about $6-$7 and do my own oil changes( real easy to do) mind you will need an extra half quart (5.5 quarts) so about $30. to do it at home about $70. down at the quickee oil change. also i go about 9k between oil changes my old van went 10 to 11k and my daughter is still driving it on her postal route. doesnent use a bit of oil.....
  16. i worked in a chrysler plant and to be honest all the fluids come just above the min mark, that said i just noticed 2 days ago my power steering was at min or just a little below so i added some to just below the full mark. the car manufactures put in just enough to get by a little here and a little there adds up to alot of savings for them. not saying that is right but thats how they keep cost down they figure everything down to th.001 percent of everything to cut cost.. p. s. i just added some lucas power steering fuild and sealer left over from my daughters car a couple of months ago. i know its not approved fuild by chrysler but this stuff works great with power steering sytems and the noises that they make and ive never had any problems after adding it and have used it for the last 10 yrs in all my dodge products..
  17. Reading this topic is like beating a dead horse, no matter how much you beat him he is still dead and he isnt going no more. Give it up guys full means full ,whether you can add anthother .5 to 1 gal is NOT a big deal, also running your tank as low as you can get it is also bad for your fuel pump, just like over filling it is bad for the evap. system, so when it clicks off stop trying to get more in and be happy, life is to short to sweat the little things in life. Any ways Merry Chrismas and a happy New year to all.....
  18. would say you have a wire problem or the button not making a good connection would check the button first, since the drivers works it okay...i might would get some contact cleaner spray and shoot it around the button of course tht might remove any printing on or near the switch or stain any surrounding fabric tape some rags around the switch or find out how hard to loosen the switch panel. good luck
  19. do what the pad manufacture says to do . i know wagner thermo-quite pads say if you use anything it will void the warrenty dont know why. but i use them all the time and will use them for my journey this spring when i do both the front and back i am at 60k miles right now.
  20. just googled 2009 dodge journey o2 problems came up with this.....1A auto will sell the parts and says location just before and after cat. and tail pipe... look it up
