What year Journey is it? The reason I ask is that marginal battery can cause many funny faults.

Congrats on the purchase-I have had mine for 4 months and it's great to drive.

The WeatherTech have the same gap between the edge of the mat and the door sill insert,I'll post a pic shortly. I give up this system will not allow me to post any more pics--Gggrrrr

What I should have said was that the compass "heading" shows up in both the radio display when I touch "COMPASS" but is always displayed on the EVIC display with my 4.3

My compass indicates top left corner of the EVIC screen between the tach and speedo and I have a 4.3 radio.

My '11 DJ SXT has 4 grab handles or 1 above each door.

I am trying how you can have Uconnect but not "BlueTooth" as the system uses BT for phone connect. Is it that you can have USB (Ipod) port with voice control but no phone? This what Chryslers definition says: uconnect™ phone What it does: Uses Bluetooth™ technology to provide voice-controlled wireless communication between the occupants' compatible mobile phones and the vehicle's onboard receiver. New for 2009, the hands-free system automatically downloads up to 1,000 phone book entries from supported phones. The system also recognizes three languages. Voice commands can manage onboard phone book entries, select radio stations and access voice mail. Voice memos can be recorded using the microphone that's integrated within the rear-view mirror Three memos of up to thirty seconds each can be stored in the system. The hands-free option promotes safety, freedom, value and flexibility Part of uconnect™ phone on select Chrysler, Jeep and Dodge vehicles is an iPod® interface, which allows an iPod to be plugged into the vehicle's sound system to play music through the vehicle's speakers, charge/recharge the iPod when the ignition is on, display artists and music choices on the radio and pause play when uconnect™ phone receives a phone call. The iPod can be controlled through the radio controls and the remote steering wheel switches (if equipped). The system uses a Universal Consumer Interface (UCI) connector located either in the glovebox or in the centre console, depending on vehicle model. Confusing daffynition possibly.

My worst EVIC reading so far with all city stop and go at 4500km mark has been 11.2 . While my city and hiway(very short runs) the EVIC shows between 10.2 - 10.7 /100 km. Pentastar and tires at 255 kpa.

"And to make it even funnier, this morning I filled up and the pump didn't shut off at all, i think a few $$$ worth of gas ended up on the ground lol." That is why you should usually stop at the auto shut off-so you have fill up a little sooner, It's not an edurance contest. The other reason not to over fill is that you can damage the recirc fuel system by flooding the charcoal canistor the that is part of that system,more $$$.

I have the 3rd row seating option and it does fold flat, my second row also folds flat to give you a very large cargo area. I have my grandaughters car seat on the 1/3 portion of the 2nd row so I can still fold the other portion down for cargo use while leaving the seat in place. The rear cargo space is 42"x40" with the 2nd row up. Yes get the Pentastar it makes a world of difference.

I was following a late '11 or '12 DJ last week in Hamilton and his rear fascia was cut out with the hitch and plug sitting neatly level and flush with fascia.

I am almost positive someone posted that 2011 had the amp under the passenger seat hidden by carpeting.

There is a pressure sensor/transmitter in each wheel they are part of the valve stem assemblies. There are 3 receivers-2 in the front end and 1 central to the rear end. They as others have pointed out supposedly sort themselves out when the tires are rotated during routine driving.

Crawl into the back and check the tailgate for an access port,most hatchbacks have this built in and it's a matter of using flashlight and screwdriver/needlenose pliers to trip the latch manually.

"That isn;t how my EVIC works . . . . mine displays pressure in kpa and switching to US measure only affects the digital readout for the speedometer.display - nothing else is affacted." Yes same as mine when using steering wheel controls but mine changes everything using the radio screen menus. My door sticker for the tires shows both KPA an LBS for desired pressures.

"Which is also kind of irritating because the metric TPMS readout is in KPA, not psi." I haven't tried it but it appears at least on the 4.3 that you can change the read outs from metric to US. I checked with my dealership and they don't even have nitrogen availiable on site.

I think it's got a nice style to it and with some effort will probably appeal to the segment of buyers 20 t0 35 yrs old that the Caliber targeted. It certainly won't have the "not so cute" tag the Caliber had when I bought it in early '06 and drove until I traded it for the DJ. Having said that we still have a restored 1971 Dart Swinger 340 in the family and sure won't be the same carguy enthusiasm involved.

The WeatherTech covers the entire rubberized part of the footrest.

Try using the small hook already provided on the bottom inside of the gascap door. If it's not long enough put a piece of small silicone hose or heat shrink over the existing hook use hair dryer for heatshrink.

I just tried to find the posts I was referiing to but as usual once seen never to found again,memories horrible since I turned 70. I did see the posts you referred to regarding it turning in the holder with excess weight/wear on the nub. The part I do remember was that the chip was not being read by the receiver or at least intermittently.

I believe your your ignition key in the 2010s was that usb like device. I recall reading a number of posts on the net about it failing and having to be replaced for intermittent starting problems. Could be the fob or the receiver reader is intermittent.

I read about the feature on the net,could have been on Chrysler site. I have the lens on the windshield side of the mirror also and have not really tried it out with highbeams on at nite. I wonder if it is active but only with the headlight control set to "AUTO".

Well the next thing is check the air filter/breather box for oil, if it's wet with oil inside then replace the PCV valve and if it's not that may indicate the need for further tests by a good mechanic. When I think about it if the was going thru the breather it would become part of the combustion process and probably result in smokey exhaust. If you have raw oil in the exhaust pipes you would see it dripping out the condensation drain holes usually found in the mufflers. Is there any residue at the mufflers? If there is it's not burning it.
