It is most definitely poor ventilation. When I was filling up last week, I let up on the flow counting about 5 to 6 seconds per litre, about a quarter throttle and when it clicked, I rounded up to the next whole dollar and the tank read full for the first time. Seems the air can't escape as fast as fuel is entering the tank. Poorly designed tank neck. This solution worked for me. Took about a minute extra but got her full. Cheers.

Congratulations JourneyGirl. U will love the DJ. I would suggest you take the Chrysler care package - Paint Sealant, Rust Protection, Undercoating and Fabric Protection. It's a bit pricey but well worth it if u plan on keeping for the next 5 years +. Oh ya, welcome to the forum. Enjoy.

For our 2012 SXT, we took the entire Master Shield package offered by the dealer prior to taking delivery. Yes it was pricy but we felt it was well worth it before taking it out on the road and putting any KM's on it. Included in the Master Shield was Fabic Protector, Undercoat, Rust Inhibitor and Paint Sealant. About two weeks after taking delivery we received a letter in the mail from "Service Contracts" Chrysler Canada stating the Limited Lifetime Warranty - it was broken down as follows... MS1 - Master Shield Paint Sealant - Expiry 06/11/2017 MS2 - Master Shield Fabric Protector - Expiry 06/11/2017 MS3 - Master Shield Rust Protection - Expiry 12/31/2049 MS4 - Master Shield Undercoat - Expiry 12/31/2049 I would recommend all these if you can talk the price down a little bit as we did. Dealer did a really good job (nothing dripping or oozing). I suspect they know their vehicles and have alll the proper equipment and trained people to complete the job professionallly. Rolly's after prep as mentioned above is a great idea that I will also be following. We plan on having the truck for at least 5 years so it may also prove to be a good re-sale point. Parking in a garage if you have access is also a great paint and fabric saver.

And if I may add... rotate every 10,000km's as this will ensure even wear. My neighbor has an 11' DJ and was bitching about the front tires being bald. Looking at the rears, you could tell the tires had never been rotated and the front of a DJ carries a lot of weight over the front tires so rotate religiously every 10,000km's and they will last just like any other tire.

I agree that ventilation is a most likely cause but I am no going to "rock and roll" my DJ every time I fill up just to get another couple of litres into it. There has to be a fix from Chrysler in the form of a TSB to address this well documented issue. Instead of bickering with my service manager, I will wait for the TSB to be released and take it in hand to the dealership and have it fixed and filled up N/C for testing purposes of course.

Just an update on our 2 month old WeatherTech front mats... I have pulled them out twice and hand washed them with a normal hose attachment and the WeatherTech label on both have come off. Seems the quality of glue is not up to par. I am currently in contact with WeatherTech regarding this and am awaiting a response this week as to what they are prepared to do. Their website says they pride themselves on quality but I am questioning that quality. I would not recommend WeatherTech currently. I am looking for a bug deflector and front window air deflectors but until WeatherTech addresses my concerns, they won't get another penny from me. Have not tried the Husky's so can not comment on them but from what I have read, they are of good quality and price.

Yah... congrats. You will love the DJ. Can honestly say our 2012 is the best vehical we have ever owned since my first Honda Civic at 16 in 84'. Always been a GM customer as my brother works at the Oshawa plant and the discount was our decision maker. When my brother saw the DJ, he said he didn't blame me considering what GM has to offer in this class. The DJ out performs all the comp in this price range in all areas (performance, interior, gadgets and toys, handling, etc.) Anyway, enjoy once you get it and make sure to give us all an update as to what you think about it. No regrets here for sure.

That's great news cause usually when we buy a new car, the next model year undergoes a complete overhaul and it completey pisses me off and there's nothing you can do about it. I feel sorry for all the suckers who purchased a 2012 Ford Escape as an example. Glad to hear that for once our 2012 will not be that much different than the 2013's.

Copy that... will be careful.

Tried it and it worked perfectly on 2012 8.4 fullscreen.

This is great news. My wife has been asking if she can watch a movie on the way to Florida next year in our 2012 8.4. Going to give it a try tomorrow and will update this post after trying on 2012 model. Awesome find but like other people have said - only for the passenger, of course :-)

Are you running the A/C alot or sitting idling or both? Both these, especially idling can really kill your km/l. Are you wearing steel toe boots? :-):-):-)

I would also like to know if the 2012's have upgraded brakes or are we all in the same boat regardless of year. Do we 2012 owners look for the production date??? DODGECACARES - Please clarify for us Canadians with 2012's. Thank you.

Would Rocky's assumption that your trying to gain more HP be correct????

No problems here on our 2012. Love the feature. Use it every day. Same to you and all the best.

Totally agree Shadow. Tire manufacturers will address as demand goes up.

We have a 2012 SXT with an 8.4 (without nav) and none of our 3 phones work with the SMS function. 3 different phone manufacturers. Don't work. Period. Paid for a function bundled as a "group" and it will probably never work. So it's not just you 2011 owners. It's been passed on to another model year. I'm pissed. I text many, many times daily and expected it to work. Doubt we'll ever see a fix. Disappointed in Dodge, Fiat, whatever.

Yah Terry... the white looks really "smart ". Back in the late 80's we had a white GMC pick-up and it was really easy to keep clean. Waxing can be an issue but rather than a once a year wax, you may want to use a spray wax 3 or 4 times a year. I know Armor All makes a clear wax that does not haze white. Really like the look of your truck - the running boards are going to be our next purchase as well as front tint. Take care.

So are you saying if I take our DJ to the dealer, this can be programmed into the truck meaning the doors will auto lock on transmission engagement instead of 24 km/h???

Welcome. Sounds like a nice truck. We looked at the white also but settled on the Brilliant Red Tri-coat Pearl. Enjoy.

Our previous car was a Cobalt SS. When you engaged the transmission - the doors locked. This is for safety. With our new 12' DJ, the doors only lock automatically at a certain speed. This is just plain stupid. My wife goes to the gym at 5:30AM daily and safety is a concern. She's learning to manually lock the doors as she pulls out of the garage but shouldn't have to. Is there a setting that we're missing? We park in the garage every night so with the Cobalt, as soon as she begins to back out, the doors locked which was safe as she warmed the car up in the driveway. Can't find any setting to lock the doors any other way in the DJ. Are we missing something?

Any pictures???
