why post here without doing a little checking things out first... google 2009 egr valve and if you have a code type that in it will bring up all kinds of info and even has a u tube video showing how to replace it. you may have to check into what engine you have and an other good place to start is your local parts store most will show you the part and or where it is located and i believe auto zone has instructions on how to replace it and if you need certin tools some places will loan them with a deposit of course to make sure you bring them back... but try to google it first i have been able to fix alot of things by doing this first GOOD LUCK

i agree with bigstar if it was that low i would make them document it and keep that paperwork and i also would be talking to the manager of the dealership about it and might try to get an extended warrenty at cost since you dont have no idea on what damage could have been done due to low oil. but as when i have any service work like oil change i always check the oil level before leaving the dealership. i just had my trans serviced and since we dont have a dip stick for it i had them check it again before i left and a week later i went by and they checked it again in front of me so i could see that it was at the correct level, they had no problem doing that for me with no cost.. always save any and all paperwork of service work done...............
-
i would def take it back to the dealer where i guess you had the oil changed as they give you at least 4 free oil changes with your new car and tell them what is going on ( hope they were the ones that changed your oil as it sounds like they didnt refill enough oil in the engine so it would be their fault if there is any engine damage ) good luck and as always check your oil level and coolant at least ONCE a week..... just for safety sake i always do
-
yes you should have been given paperwork showing what was done. like anything you buy you always get a reciept or paperwork to show what was done and paid. and yes it should be in the chrysler network so any chrysler dealership can pull it up for warrenty work....GO back and ask them to print you out your copy and put it into your warrenty book.........

i have had my rotors turned by dealer at 11k then had to have them replaced at 29k by dealer they didnt want to cover it but i raised hell about them turning them at 11k and should have replaced them then they offered free install if i would pay for rotors and pads and when they told me how much i told them they were crazy that i could do it my self with after market parts for 1/4 their price and started to walk away the manager came after me and offered a goodwill full replacement on them i said okay. BUT when they go bad again i will replace the rotors and pads myself as not sure of the quality of the chrysler parts being used at this time. changing out the pads and rotors is not that hard go to you tube and watch a vidio on it .i do my daughters mail van ( dodge caravan) and it takes less than 1 hr parts are about $57 for pads and rotors (have only been changed once due to her fault for letting them go to long)about $65 for 2 of them.ALSO i dont believe in turning rotors as you only make them thinner thus making them easier to warp ,always replace them not that much more $$$$$ in the long run................. P. S. have about 46k on it now so far okay on the brakes

have had my 2011 mainstreet and love it , as my wife and i do alot of traveling in it i noticed my left shoulder and elbow seems to ache after a long trip like 4-6 hrs driving, happenend to mention it to my wife who sometimes drives while i nap and she said hers aches also. i noticed i drive mostly with using my left elbow resting on the window edge. the window edge doesnt have much padding which could be causeing the sore elbow and i think the shoulder is because the seat is set low and all the way back, have been trying to not use my left arm to hold the wheel as much but old habits are hard to change. was just wondering if anyone else has noticed this also. other than that i love my journey for trips, well i dont like the trouble i have had with warped rotors already on the 2nd pair on the front with only 45k miles but at least the dealer did change them out the 2nd time, and the next time ill do my own work with aftermarket rotors and pads. never had a problem with the rotors on my minn-vans in the past and the gross weight of both vec. seem close to each other. and 3/4 of all my miles are interstate driving and hardly any city driving as i live in a small town. but other than that i would rec. a journey to any one looking for a good driving car....

just got back from having my transmisson filter and fluids changed out had 45k on the journey cost was 169. but i am a chrysler ret. so get an extra 10 % off so it came to 158. tax included also picked up 2 more oil filters @ 7.50 each, should be set for a while now. could have had the local mech. do the trans. service for 110. but decided to let dodge do it in case something comes up down the line and have them try to say the other mech did it wrong or used the wrong fluid or filter so iam set for the next 60k till i hit the 100k limit on the power train warrenty..... better safe than sorry....

mins your dealership is price gouging you. the dealer i go to his reg. price is 179.00 and they are running a special till the end of the month for 169. not much off but at least it is being done by a dodge dealer. and that is for a fuild and filter change not a flush with no filter change

Dodge Cares please contact me on Journey hitch issue

dodge care has a different job someone else was going to take over for him , check past post for his name -
i have a 2011 with 44k miles on it and so far no problems with my battery, but my past dodge cars and trucks the mopar battery that come from the factory would start dieing out after 2 to 3years or about this mileage, wondering if any other 2010 or newer journeys have had to replace theirs already. since it is in a hard to replace area not sure how long to let it go before getting it replaced as i dont like to be stranded somewhere as i do alot of traveling. since i live in alabama we dont get alot of hard cold or snow but the heat is hard the batteries. thanks and keep it between the ditches

well i havealmost 44k on my kumos as of now and they still look great have not had them rebalanced but kept them rotated every 10 k did it myself so i know how it is being done and torque the lugs myself so they werent over tightend with a air gun, any ways they are looking great with lots of tread left but will change them out before next winter as i dont like to run them down to the tread wear ind. getting older i like to have good tread come winter or rainey weather, i used to run bridgestone turanza for yrs on my minn-van and really liked them and they gave me great service but if you googled them alot of drivers hated them so guess its how you drive and take care of them of course you can always get 1 bad tire and it can make the whole set feel bad . this is the first set of 17 inch kumos and cant complain about them they handle real good in the rain and we dont get that much snow in al. but havent had no driving problems with them. getting ready to get the transmission fuild and filter changed in the next couple of thousand miles and not having a dip stick for it really pisses me off,something like that should still be mandatory to be there cause you could get a small leak and not notice it and then burn the trans up. oh well guess ill get off the soap box and i could spend the $$ and get a dip stick when i have the fluid changed. take care everyone and keep it between the ditches.....

ouch you just busted his bubble.. lol

have been wanting to install one myself but was wanting to hear from some that have done it themselfs have you tried calling lockpick for help? hope you get it fixed and let us know how good it is and how hard it was getting the cable to the front of the car. seems like running the cable would have been easier to run under the carpet from the back. good luck....

windshield wiper blades
2late4u replied to dan legrow's topic in Glass, Lighting, Mirrors, Sun Roofs & Wipers
well i bought a set of bosch wipers and so far really like them,sales guy said just be carefull if alot of snow or ice from overnight. if you turn the wipers on before breaking them loose then can break,but in alabama we dont get much snow or ice and i am from mich. org. so i know about cleaning the windshield off first. i went on retailmenot .com and got a coupon code and then ordered the blades thur advance auto and they were already on sale so the drivers cost 18. and the passenger side cost 15 and i bought 2 oil filters for my truck and a jug of windshield solvent and a set of brake shoes for my daughters car and got a $40 off coupon. 20 for her and 20 for my purchase so figured my blades only cost me $21.00 they always have great deals on this web site. give them a try if you have advance auto in your area.only thing is you have to order and pay online with a credit card and then you can go pick your stuff up right away from the store. also her brakes pads were wagner thermoquite and she is also getting a $15. rebate on them also they just went on sale yesterday -
my daughter has a 2007 3.3 minn-van that she uses for a mail route and her check engine light is on and saying same thing about crankshaft postion senser also and it will go weeks with no problem and then act up and she will stop and turn it off then back on and sometimes she has to do this a couple of times in one day then it wont happen again for a while, she doesnt want to put it in the shop as they always tell you if it isnt doing it while they can see it then they cant do nothing,of course hers has about 74k on the engine, told her she should check to see if her 7yr 100k warrenty powertrain warrenty would cover this but she wants to act like its no big deal,,, Kids... oh well hope they gets your fixed okay, let us know how it turns out

how do i loosen the serpentine belt on my 09 journey
2late4u replied to Anderson1988's topic in Engine & Transmission
i have always replaced the belt tensioner when ever i replaced the belt as have been told that alot of times the tensioner loses some of its tension and can let the belt come off and ruin your new belt. go ask alot of mechincs and bet most of them will tell you to replace both at the same time.course if you want to chance it you can save some $$$ -
windshield wiper blades
2late4u replied to dan legrow's topic in Glass, Lighting, Mirrors, Sun Roofs & Wipers
need to replace wiper blades bought some cheaper ones at walmart about 14 for both but not great was wanting to try bosch icons but they are alot higher? are they worth it looked like rain-ex blades same price but had some bad reviews due to wipers coming apart, any thoughts on any other brands -
i just turned 41k on my 17 inch kumo tires and still have great tread on mine. i live in a small town and go on long trips with the car. one thing if you do alot of city driving will wear your tires alot more than normal , i know this as my daughter delivers mail and will wear out a set of tires in less than 1yr. couldnt believe she wears than out that fast but stop and go and around town driveing does takes it toll on her tires,also she goes thur a set of brake pads every 6months and or about 7k miles and i put wagner thermo-quite pads on the front which are top of line pads. oh well good luck with your new tires and hope that solves your problem
