Hopefully just a bad speed sensor. Good luck.

What Did You do to your Journey Today

I still track mine old school - notepad in the glovebox. -
In my experience city driving will kill your mpg. 60% to 70% of my driving is on country roads with a 55 mph speed limit and I consistently average between 26 - 29 mpg. Last week, I was in Lexington, Ky for 4 days and my average fell to 22.1 mpg. I usually average 25.5 - 26.5 mpg on the interstate (70 - 75 mph).

What Did You do to your Journey Today

I never wait on the indicator either. I change mine somewhere between 5000 and 6000 miles and use synthetic. -
If I understand correctly, the movement is happening where the bike rack goes inside the curt hitch? If that is the case, this should work. If you look at the bolt it has a "shoulder" about 3/4" below the head. The "shoulder" on the bolt is smaller than the hole in your curt hitch but larger than the hole through the bike rack. The way it works is you insert the bike rack in the hitch and use this bolt in place of the hitch pin. As you tighten the nut , the "shoulder" on the bolt pulls the bike rack tight against the side of the curt hitch to eliminate the movement. The only drawback is you have to use tools anytime you install/remove the bike rack.

I also have a curt hitch and I have an allen sports bike rack and it came with an anti-wobble hitch bolt that works very well. I looked on their website and they sell the bolt separately (use the 1/2" bolt for the 2" hitch). I'm not sure if they ship to Canada but at least this will give you an idea as to what you need. Here is a link to their site: http://www.allensportsusa.com/products/No%20Wobble%20Bolt2

Installed my bug deflector a couple days ago - finally got around to posting a few pics of my DJ today! I'm pretty sure Terry (Windancer) will like the color. The pics were taken at my parents cabin near Frenchburg, KY. -
back speaker access

I bet you see a lot of that "magic smoke" in Colorado nowadays! -
My 2013 had a leak similar to what you describe ( water dripped out of the plastic trim piece just inside the rear hatch). I took it back to the dealer and they did a water test and found the roof rails to be the culprit.

I have been impressed by the little 4. Although I miss the power of my old grand am gt, the journey consistently gets 1-2 more mpg.

I have a 2013 sxt with the 4 and it never drops below 23.5 around town. On trips it usually stays between 27-28. A couple times it has got to 30.

Try looking under the lid of the fuse box cover for a fuse diagram. -
Do you have 3rd row seating? The cargo cover only fits the standard 5 pass journeys.

Nice that it warned you before the battery died, I didn't know that was even an option. The DJ just keeps getting better! -
Proper Brake Bleeding Order? 2012 Journey
DodgeFan72 replied to bcristea's topic in Brake, Chassis & Suspension
I agree, unless air has gotten into the system due to a brake system component failure or replacement brake parts have been installed, bleeding shouldn't be necessary. -
Esp, Heated Seats, and Power Inverter buttons not working
DodgeFan72 replied to Justin Blaufuss's topic in Interior
If you haven't already, I would check for a blown fuse first. -
Welcome to the forum! I have 12,000 miles on my 2013 with only a couple minor problems. I had a small water leak near the rear hatch (leaking around the mounts for the roof rails) and a bad connector that caused the airbag light to come on occasionally. Both problems taken care of under warranty.

Welcome to the forum! Wow 2 DJ's, I'm jealous.
