i agree with with moparman also you have 7yr 100 mile warrenty on powertrain thur chyrsler and if any questions with who would cover problem would be between chrysler or dealer as you have documented this occurance. wouldnt worry about it any more unless you hear it aain. also liked the idea of dash cam and recorder, why do you have it for work or what?

brake problems will NOT cause uneven wear on your tires ,no way. it is either the front end problems or just a tire problem .

i know this make you mad , but you really need to get a life, this is metal parts exposed to the weather elements

as soon as i got mt 2011 mainstreet i removed the dealers name and all the dodge crap on the back hatch,was easy use some bumper sticker remover (auto parts sell it) and gentley lift the edge of what ever you are wanting to remove. makes washing and waxing alot easier. of course my wife got mad oh well!! lol

dont know about the new ones but older dodge cars you could turn the key on and off 3 times and then wait and it would check the computer to see if you had any codes for any problems you might have for the car like a spark plug and which one it was.was real helpfull to point you in the real direction. would guess you wlll need a machine to check for what you want .or take your vin # to the dealer for them to pull up the info on your car when it was built.. good luck

had to do the same thing on my 2004 van drilled the 2 holes and put on my lic. plate never had a flapping noise from it, tighten up thoes screws till they are tight. should solve the problem

my dealership wants about $24 for a filter and havent been able to find a reg filter at the local auto stores for my 2011 mainstreet , so i broke down and bought a k-n filter also. same as destination above said at least after 2 filter changes it will be paid for got mine thur auto anything online for $42. have had one on my 2001 truck with no problems and i already have the cleaner and oil refill left over .so i went with k-n.

found a great deal on parts and other things called http://www.retailmenot.com/coupons/auto, you can get discount coupons at this web site and i have been using them the last 6 months for auto parts using the advance auto web site.just brouse the coupons you want dont forget to look under the name where it says more coupons or deals. then get the code and then go to the website you want and use it. i have only used the advance auto codes but they worked ok both times. i got $20 off purchase over $50. for my daughters brakes on her van she does post office route in the country so have to replace them every 6 months or about 5ooo miles.i just get the codes then go to advance auto web site order the pads and enter the codes and get 20 of the the 60.00 and pay with a credit card and then i go pick them up from the local store about an half hour later. they will also ship to you but i live close to the store. great way to save money.also i alwayd get the wagner thermo-quiet pads and advance will replace them free one time when they are wore out, bought her first set from O"reillys part store but they said they wouldnt do the free replacement so started using advance from then on. also wagner had a rebate going on till 4-30-2012 for $10. so i will get this set for about $34. and then get the next set free so brings the 2 sets down to about $17.00 each brake pad change ,cant beat that deal.ill get off my soap box but thought id spread the word about the deals. dont know if they work up in canada or if you have advance auto up there but they are real good to work with.

that tape is suppose to be there but it is also is to let water out it always leaves part of the hole uncovered but it can be removed without problems. always thought it was a joke anyway... i used to work on the assy. line in st. louis building the minn-vans before i retired and then it was shut down and now all the vans are built in canada.

all doors have holes in the bottom somewhere to let water drain out . look to see if they are closed off or plug up. also look at the rubber seal at the window sill where water might be coming in. good luck p.s. you could always drill some small holes on the bottom if you cant find out how to drain it.

you need to take them to the dodge dealership to get the correct advice before laying out the $$$$, better to be safe than sorry..

how did you remove the 2nd row head rest, went to remove mine in a 2011 main street raised them up as far as they would go but it stopped when fully up postion didnt try to force it up to hard .maybee needed to get more rough with it but thought id ask before i break it LOL

P.S. if you have had to add air already to one of your tire better keep an eye on it as you might have picked up a small air leak or nail. shouldnt have to add that much unless you have a problem some where, better safe than sorry

i run 36 to 38 also use reg air. it does help get better mpg. soft tires will give a softer ride but not better mpg. nitrogen in your tires is supposed to not leak out or have a tighter range of air pressure from cold to hot. yes you can add reg air but then you start to defeat the reasoning of using nitrogen. for me it is a waste of money but everyone has a different view of using it.as i always check my oil, water, and tire pressure about once a week. do not depend on the tpms to alert you to low air pressure as it isnt that reliable till it might be too low.

just got back from a trip of about 1000 miles round trip with 2011 main street 3.6 engine with a k-n air filter and using reg oil,mostly interstate miles and some city driving bumper to bumper traffic jam on the way home. after pushing the reset on the evic it said i was getting 26 mpg while driving on the interstate going about 70 mph but i always use the old method of checking mpg by the miles divided by gallons of gas used and it figured out to 23 mpg. which i feel is pretty good considering the 45 min traffic jam,hat we got caught in. hoping when i switch over to syn oil i will get better mileage and from past cars that is usally about 1 mpg better,have 1 more free oil changefrom the dealer and then ill change over.

just called the dealership about the eye bolt that screws into the front bumper and was i supposed to have one in my car somewhere , they didnt have no idea or have never heard about one being supplied with new cars in U.S. they said the tow truck drivers are supposed to have them. i told her that i had just seen a flat bed tow truck driver this morning and asked if he had such bolts and he replied NO that different cars had different size bolts and that they didnt supply the bolts that they were supposed to come with the cars.( which does make sence) checked my spare tire area real good and no such bolt.also looked in my manual and there is no mention about this eye bolt and or the place in the front bumper where it screws in.

dont know they sent it off to a body shop and paid for a rental car for me. they did the left side not long after i bought it and then about 3 months later the right side started poping out and they provided a rental car for 3 days each time while it was getting fixed.NO NEED TRYING TO FIX IT YOURSELF. just take it back to the dealer that way if you ever have more problems down the line you can go back to the dealer.. what ever they did it is fixed right..

just check my 2011 mainstreet and the rear has a very large vertically mounted eyelet underneath the bumper but it lookss like if they tried to use that it would scrape the plastic cover also checked for the eye bolt for the front where the jack was but there wasent one, there was a eye bolt attached to the top of the jack but it didnt screw off so dont know if they come with U.S. version or mine got left out .oh well worry about that when and if it evers needs to be towed..

me too please let us know about the miliage and the power and performance of you freemont

take it back to the dealer as it is covered under warrenty had mine fixed 10 months ago and still holding tight

well ive had my 2011 mainstreet with the 3.6 pentastar engine for almost a year now with about 19000 miles on it. great car so far ,great mpg on the highway. Have never pushed the car i uasually dont speed or drive too aggressive, but i got a call that my daughter had passed out at the dr. office and was taken to the emg.hospital. So i take off for the 20 minute drive to get there and still trying to be safe and not drive crazy. Worked okay till i got stuck behind a car poking along and then a garbage truck pulled out in front of them so when the truck made their next right turn on a side road i pulled out to pass the car and put the pedal to the metal and boy did the journey take off couldnt belive the power that this car has before i knew it i had to back off the gas since i was on a country 2 lane rd.all in all i have to say i really like this car. and also my daughter turned out was having a procedure done and had worked her self up too much i guess like a panic attack, but she turned out okay but will have to have some surgery in the next month but other wise okay

thanks might be, but I dont have the auto lights either so i guess its still the 3rd tit that doesnt do nothing.. has any one had to replace the wiper blade on the hatch back yet,looks like a dealer replacment only blade?

i asked the dealer he told me it was for when your journey needs to be towed the tow truck driver removes the plug and connects the cable to winch the car onto the flat bed to prevent any damage. at least thats what he told me.But i also asked him what that 3rd tit on top of the dash in the center by the windshield was for and he just looked at me and said he thought it was for the security like some other cars have. i said it doesnt blink but i have a light in the cluster that blinks which i thought was the security light.Was wondering if it was for the gps that i dont have on my journey. oh well i havent lost no sleep over that one .LOL

well to some it may be real important and to others it may not be, but if you have to tear the car apart or put your head under the dash, i myself think you are going a little over the line.I can only suggest that you dont go into the kitchen while they are cooking your food at your favorite resturant other wise you might not go back.Just trying to say ALL cars are built the same way using most of the same suppliers. the rust you are seeing would take 20 years or more to ever become a problem if ever.If it was rust in the paint or on the chrome or where it could be seen then it would be a quality problem that you could get taken care of.

yes stay away from the black plastic...at least from my experince.. LOL
