Welcome aboard!

My 09 with the 2.4, every 30k. Copper core. No problems. Changed when recommended. Easy to get to, cheap insurance.

Thanks for sharing. When you can provide some more useful information, feel free to start a new thread.

Dealers want nothing more than your money.

My wife asks me that a lot....

I must be the only one that when I buy a used vehicle without an owners manual, the very first thing I do is buy one for it. How else are you going to know how to properly maintain your vehicle or how the various features are supposed to operate, etc? Oh wait, thats what forums are for, right?? Lol

My 2013 SXT does. Not that i would ever run it.

Have fun!

I dont understand why anyone needs a dimmer for these lights......they are plenty dim already. Like stated, I hardly notice them. Maybe you have hyper sensitive eyesight at night???

Sorry for your problems. Good luck and keep us informed.

Clunks are normal, unfortunately. If you are very concerned, a visit to the dealer is appropriate. Make sure you make them go for a ride with you so you can actually show them the issue.

If you can find one with a "seasoned" mechanic thats good. Ones around me employee nothing but high school kids.

I was a fat a$$ who smoked two packs of cigs a day and ate at Mcdonalds at least twice a day, sat on my rear at night drinking beer and watching TV. I could not walk up a flight of stairs without breaking a sweat and losing my breath. My doctor gave me a choice one year during my annual physical, (2008 I believe it was), lose weight and get in shape, or go on medication for diabetes, high blood pressure, high colesterol, etc Said once I started on this medication, I would be on it forever. I opted for the other route cause I was sick and tired of being fat and tired........I started by walking every day, slowly adding a bit of jogging as the weight came off, quit smoking and started eating healthier. I lost almost 80 lbs, been smoke free for 7 years now and run at least 2.5 miles 4-5 times a week. I run 5k races once or twice a month. Just turned 51 last December, probably in the best cardio shape of my life. Still struggle with weight....manage to maintain with +/- 5-7 lbs, but man, it's like it takes me a month to lose 5 lbs and a weekend to gain it back.... Sometimes though, it's genetics. If high blood pressure runs in your family, maybe not much you can do about it.

Maybe people in Europe are shorter, they need lower cars, so theres an actual market to support them??

I will pay someone to do it if the coupon is cheap enough, but only if it is a true "automotive" shop. Never a place like jiffy lube.

Welcome aboard!

Thats a good deal. Usually thwe $15.00 oil changes around here end up costing $25 with "shop fees" and environmental/disposal costs...lol

Congrats on the purchase! I'm a happy customer as well.

I bought an extended warranty through carmax. 7 years, 100,000 miles. $100 deductible. Free loaner if needed.Have not used it yet. Reviews are mixed, as with anything, people who complain are the ones expecting everything for free.

Same here...had an 09...upgraded to a 2013....first time ever I have stayed with the same model/manufacturer...can't beat the "bang for the buck" value of theese DJ's.....probably get another when this ones time is up....

Welcome aboard!

Mine clunks too but what I have learned is to keep my foot firmly on the brake and give it a second or two between shifts before I release the brake and hit the gas. It seems, on mine at least, that shifting quickly between park, drive or reverse without my foot in the brake and giving it a second to fully engage causes the clunk. Other vehicles I have do not do this, but I am learning how to adjust my driving style to eliminate these pesky little noises on the DJ. I don't blame the car, I blame myself for thinking every vehicle should behave the same way.

I did not even notice the door map pocket lights until, my wife pointed it out one night. I think it's a very nice touch. Not too bright, not too dim.

Going to close this one since there is a duplicate thread.

What are you trying to adjust?
