Glad to hear it is not my imagination.... I traded in my Caliber with suspected electronic powertrain control module issues (hesitating and hard shifting) and this hard shifting in my new Crew has made me nervous, especially with only 500 kms on it. I guess I will see how everything settles in over the first 5000km or so before I worry too much.

Looks great, I would live to buy one for my Crew but I am a little worried about it.... I put an after market bumper guard on my '08 Dodge Caliber. Noticed rust bubbles starting to form on the inside lip of the hatch last month. I think it was the bumper guard not allowing the water to drain properly. Does water pool on the bumper of your Journey now that this is installed?

I need to remind the salesman of the scratch (of course he never got back to me about it), so perhaps I will do that tomorrow and let him know about the swirl marks. They aren't bad but definitely noticeable in the sunlight. I wish it hadn't been overcast or raining the first few days I had the car or I would have noticed them before yesterday. I have a feeling they will blame it on the tint company, even though they only did the front two and the swirls are at the back.

Hi Everyone! Picked up my new '13 Brilliant Black Crew last weekend. We took advantage of the great clear out sales and traded in my '08 Sunburst Orange Caliber for the Journey. So far I love it! Seems to be getting pretty good gas mileage so far. First thing I did was get the front windows tinted I was a little disappointed to see a scratch when I picked it up (dealer promised to fix at first oil change) and a few swirl marks in the sunshine from a poor prep job that I have noticed over the last couple of day. Any suggestions for black wax to fill in these initial marks? I highly doubt the dealer will take responsibility so I am on my own. EDIT: I also have a mark on the back bumper where the white chalk? dry erase marker? from transit didn't completely come off the black paint. Almost looks like the white soaked into the black, as the mark is a charcoal grey colour. Any suggestions on cleaning this off?
