Nice gray interior! :-)

My 2012 r/t is lacking of bass also but unfortunately never had a chance to compare it with infinity sound system of lower year model so i cant comment with this... But obviuosly far inferior of sound system of other car ive been!! Since im not sure if they set it up using aftermarket systems! Bottom line is im jealous :-) with thier sound system! Probably, i'll be trying to discuss about this with my dealer on my next change oil. Will be happy if it can improve...

Did you ever find a solution?<br /> <br /> Terry</p></blockquote> Hi Terry, Im still having my journey.. The fuel efficiency problen is still there also,, though im seeing little improvement still its higher than than what we're expecting... Im getting 19L/100km on my recent fill up with shell compared what i got last time w/c was 24L/100km best! The qoute you just read about waiting is killing him i think Journeyman!

<blockquote class='ipsBlockquote'data-author="Journeyman425" data-cid="28381" data-time="1368410458"><p> Tha wait is killing me too...and we only ordered ours last month! Due in any day now. Copper Pearl over Black FWD Crew with Nav/Sound group/flex seating/sunroof/chrome clad wheels and towing prep. Hitch and splashguards to be installed at shop.</p></blockquote> Thats almost same as r/t less leather seats and AWD... Just curious on what made stay away from r/t trim... Did you get a way better deal with the crew!

Oppps,, i mean sensor! :-)

Just try to sepate you cp with your key fob.. I just notice that it unterfere with the censor! My key always hang on my belt loop on the right. Often time if i forgot and put my cp on right pocket the button is not responding when you press! ..i completely agree that when you touch the inside handle it wont lock!

But it responds anytime! It says ''I DONT UNDERSTAND!'' :-((

Exactly the same problem with mine! Any voice command is useless from nav to everything! To the point that im thinking that i waste money on this option.. I blame my accent as being asian. ,,but hearing the same problem with other members lead me to believe that it might be suck itself!

Yes i know, i just wanna seal off all those possibilities that they think might cause with it.. So that when i come back to my dealership and discuss about it they will see that i tried some remedies... If it can improve i believe it wont be much difference. Average 24L/100 is brutal..... Almost double of what it says in the sticker!

Ok! I will, thanks sext

I'll echo everyone's comments, There might be a few updates available for the software but the fact that it's intermittent is interesting. Maybe wouldn't hurt to consider fuel quality. Have you always fueled up at the same station? Maybe change for a few tanks.. Well, i will going to consider changing gas on my next tank! I normally get my gas on co-op, ill try other gas company hope it will improve! I'll get back to you guys after my next tank!

Yes, i understand that its on his breaking period but for that big margin is unaaceptable! I feel somethhing has to adjusted or something is wrong with my engine! One question, how the warranty is working! I Read some advices in this forum about changing the dealership! Are we getting same warranty coverage from other dealership as what we are getting on dwalership where we actually buy the car? All this time i thought you have to bring back to dealership where you buy it whenever theres problem because you get it from them! Sorry! Im confused... (

As far as the milage, I'm averaging 10L/100km in mine, almost as good as my 200 was.</p></blockquote> Mine is also 2012 r/t but getting 23.5 L/100km i got 1800 km now! Not impressed...

<blockquote class='ipsBlockquote'data-author="CDNGeer" data-cid="27623" data-time="1365478295"><p> Reviving this one a little long after the last post here, my apologies. Any update from Chris on this one? I just ordered my 2013 R/T Rallye and I'm interested to see what kind of fuel economy you are getting now. Where abouts do you fill up usually? As you can see, I am also in S'toon. Not expecting my Journey to arrive till end of June from factory (sigh).</p></blockquote> Im still on my best 23.5 L/100km now with very gently on gas padal as much as i could! It went as high as 33 L/100km. My journey is 2012 r/t having 1800km now! They said it gets better after broken in so i decided to use my manual stick and do higher rpm before changing shift! This way it helps to break in a bit before my fist oil change at 2000kms. I ussually get my gas on co-op regular 87 octane rating!

I doubt if it really change much after broken in because the number is ridiculusly high! I cant wait for 8000miles for it to get better! So i decided to us manual stick for now! I notice that it changes gear really quick in auto. So when ever im using manual i make sure the rpm is atleast 3500! Helps to get broken in earlier! Hope it wont hurt my engine! The mileage went worst from 23.3 to 27 l/100km now! Im on 1800km now! Will change oil on 2000km! Hope it will improve after that!

My transcend external 250 gig works fine in mine! Some have artworks most dont have! I gave up fixing the artworks i just enjoy the music!

Mine was replaced at around 1400 km, less than 6 months old! It might be special case... I dont know!

I paid extra for that chrome clad thing! Aside frome its fake :-( or plastic! I enjoyed it for i find it easy to clean! Hopefully it wont stain in long run..

+1, i press button start because i thought remote start didnt work only to find out its already on idle. :-)

<blockquote class='ipsBlockquote'data-author="DodgeCACares" data-cid="26057" data-time="1360269626"><p> Chris,<br /> <br /> Did this resolve your issue?</p></blockquote> It resolve the issue regarding electrical and batery dead. So far im happy with it.. But upgrading the PCM havnt resolved yet my fuel economy issue. Im still on 30+L/100km. Cant wait it to be broken in. One more question; :-)) my journey is 6 months now but still below 1600kms on it. Do you advise for its first change oil or its to early that i have to wait until 3000kms on it? Thanks!

I was in your city yesterday and I was thinking about you. I agree the very poor mileage is a real concern. I was up in Saskatoon yesterday and if you check the My Fuelly logo below I got 11.3 litres/100 kms. round trip from Regina to Saskatoon and back at 120 kph. I would agree with drb227 when he mentions the Gas guage being really out of whack, as DodgeCACares mentioned is this a hand calculation? Did my dealer ever get back to you? If not I will remind him again.<br /> <br /> As was previously mentioned I have been using <a href='http://www.fuelly.com'>www.fuelly.com</a> since day 1, you can see I now have 91 fillups and over that entire time (3 years) I am averaging 15.9 litres/100 kms. My personal best is 9.3 litres/100 kms and my worst is 23.6 litres/100 kms but that was in the middle of a very cold winter where I often let the car "warm up" a lot.<br /> <br /> Terry</p></blockquote> Hi Terry, i havn't get response from your dealer yet... Ohh, if i had known your in the city, it would be nice if we meet up for coffee or couple bottle of beer :-)).. I would love to see your nice set up on your journey! Where are you staying whenever your in saskatoon? Well, i used to sign up on fuelly but i messed up for not recording my past 5 fill-ups! I will start a new one one fuelly.com with new vehicle. ,1443kms on my fill up today! 62.23 litres @ 1.104$/litre. Distance to empty is 249lms! Hope i will get a right calculation this time about my fuel economy!

Got exactly the same issue with my 2012 journey r/t last week.. Had to get towed! Dealer replaced with new battery.. Mine was built april 2012..

Ok... I got my journey yesterday! Repair sheet said they replace baterry! Didnt tought its just baterry issue.. Next concern was clanking on transmission, correction: performed TSB by updating the PCM. Third issue: poor mileage. Correction: TSB or job#2 correct the mileage issue! Hopefully it would. Before i drive away from dealership i reset fuel economy on my evic and im getting 24L/100km ave now. Little bit better! Im 60km DTE right now. I'l lwait for next low fuel message and i will document everything and will use fuelly.com to get right data about my fuel economy! I'll keep you posted!

I dont complain about the sound system of my journey r/t but i must admit lots of aftermarket set ups are way too impressive....
