I wouldn't bother.. just take it back to the dealers and ask for your money back... and never buy a dodge again

I know your pain bud.. I am almost out of my warranty and i have given up.. I am looking to trading mine in to GM and try with them

Welcome to Canada. 50,000 for a fully load crew Only other dealer is in the next city. I like the vehicle i just hate the service center.. like i said they act like you are lying when you are telling them something is wrong with the vehicle.. But like i said they lost my business

or just a dodge lover....

Why bother to type this and just get rid of it you say?.mmmm well maybe you have $50,000 to piss away. But i sir do not.. and yes we all know every car conpany has issue... But after spending $50,000 and to be treated like you bought a dinky car when you are having an issue with the vehicle is just not right. I posted this just like most of the post in this thred letting people know i feel their pain. By the looks of every other post in this thred. Every dodge dealership is the same..

I have had my dodge journey in to the dealer since the first year i bought it in 2013. first it was struts and shocks (all the way around) after only a year of owning it. Then a year later it was the same noise that some of you are hearing from the front end.. I had to fight and fight. I finally had to go all the way up the chain of command. Head office had the tech take a ride with me so i could replicate the noise. After the tech heard the noise he was still unclear what it was...BUT he heard it. after i drove back to the dealer. The tech went in to the back and after a bit they called me up to the desk and said. we are ordering parts. front lower control arms bushing tie rods etc... took about a week then they did the work.. got the vehicle back and after a week i heard this loud clunk every time i turned a corner. It sound like something was going come through the fire wall. I went back to the dealer they said we will book you in. a week later i took it in and the tech came out and said i heard the noise but everything looks good.. I LOL and said so you are telling me that it is normal for a loud clunk sound to happen every time i turn a corner and drive down the street...... He hummed and said mmmm well give me a few more minutes... 20 minutes later the service desk person came running over to me and said here's your keys we fixed the issue you are good to go.. have a nice night... I was like... wait a minute... what was the issue... She said well i am not sure he didn't say but you are good now... I was so mad i said hell with this and left and called head office again and complained... (nothing happened) few months later i could hear a noise from the back end... Here we go again...... my 40lb daughter would hop out of the back seat and it would sound like a 500lb person was getting out of the vehicle... I took it back to dodge... again i had to deal with the bozo's once again. Well sir we can't seem to hear the sound... i freaked out... told them do i have to do your job for you?.... I took them back out in the Journey and showed them the noise just by pushing the Journey side to side... Again they said wow... mmmm don't know what that could be.... so back to the front desk. Ok sir we are going to order some parts... rear lower control arms and bushing etc... after they did the work they marked on the form that the bushing were really badly worn... after a month the noise is back again... I am so sick of dodge.. This was my first new vehicle and i knew back when i bought it not to trust dodge as my father had so much issues with them back in the 90's.. funny story. When i was looking at the dodge journey i said to the sales person. I am not sure if i want to buy a dodge because you guys are known for issues with suspensions etc... OH NO sir we have fixed all those issues.... I should of listened to my gut... Never again will i buy a dodge... PS... every time they call me ask me to come trade in my Journey i tell them...................I WOULD NEVER STEP FOOT IN ANOTHER DODGE DEALERSHIP IF IT WAS THE LAST PLACE TO GET A VEHICLE IN THE WORLD...But that doesn't stop them from calling me.. So now i just make an appointment when they call to offer me a trade in and i just never show up...

When i said to the service desk. Last time i knew you need a alignment when replacing lower control arms. She said well trust me if it had to have one then the mechanic would of done it since dodge is paying

I just got back from Dodge and they had to replace both lower front control arms, ti rods, linkage and bushing. I asked why they didn't do a alignment and they said it didn't need one. I am not a mechanic but I thought any front end work you would have to do an alignment. Someone let me know if the dealer is telling the truth.

Has anyone ever got a message on the message system but wasn't able to read it in time before it disappeared? I was driving down the road and heard a chime and when i looked down i saw a message but i wasn't able to read it because i was driving. But by the time i got to a stop light and toggled down to the message, it was gone..

the bozo's shouldn't of put the option in then if it wont work

anyone get this to work with their phone. The option is on the uconnet but can't use it

I have this sound on my 2013 Dodge Journey Crew.. I don't think mine is that loud though, could just be the video audio. But i would agree with bigtsr, that sound is the locking solenoid which stops you from shifting out of park unless you have your foot on the brake.

Burn2011, I took my DJ in for a software update and the shifting smoothed out... My DJ now shifts very nicely. Still have to give it some gas it get it to kick down to a low gear to get that power to get up a hill etc... but as for the hard shifting. it's gone after the Software update.

Thanks everyone for your input...

DT655608 I have 4700 Km. I believe that's 2920 miles is there a way to reset the adaptive transmission or does it just learn over time as your driving ways change? because when i first bought the vehicle i followed the manual and didn't push it for the first 500 Km
