The dealer we use actually has an Avis rental desk at the dealership. I guess it's cheaper for them to have Avis rent the cars instead of the dealer. For warranty work, the rental is free.

Welcome to the forum. Vehicles are mechanical beasts. Sometimes things just break. Let us know what they find out. Good luck!

Have you scanned it for codes?

Welcome to the forum. As stated, start with the easy things first, replace the battery. You dont have a spare FOB?

Sorry, I'm in the small Kuhmo supporter crowd. We replaced our Kuhmo's on our 09 with Kuhmo's at about 40k. I had Kuhmo's on my Z28, have them currently on our 2013 Journey, my daughters Mustang and my Eclipse. I have no quarrel with Kuhmo tires.

We;re all just having fun! Come on, don't get your feathers ruffled so easily...

Even if you could get it to communicate, you will destroy the PCM. Good luck with getting warranty work for that. You're stuck with a dead vehicle.

Not me, I don't let my wife sleep onn long trips....if she starts dozing off, I hit the rumble strips on the side of the road to scare the crap out of her.....

Welcome!! Lets see some pics!!!! We love pics!!!!

Agreed wheels wont make or break fuel mileage. It all has to do with your right foot.

Welcome to the forum!

They are nice, but dayum I have a hard time parting with $100 for a piece of plastic with some 3m tape on it. Do you have a pic of what you actually had to remove to install the cover? I know you have a pic of the clips, but where were they removed from? You have to remove the entire bumper cover?

This is true, I guess I was mainly referring to the older model cars I have. The DJ, I just take to the dealer if it's a warranty issue, if not, I've been working on cars long enough to figure most things out by just looking at it for awhile.

Welcome to the forum!

Check the relays as well.

1. Does the wiring harness have the connector on it? If not, you need to get the other end to plug in to your 4 pin connector. 2. It's probably tie wrapped or taped. Just get a close look to see how it is attached. 3. Once you get it out, connect it to see if it works, if not then a dealer visit is in order. Thats all I got.

Yep, thats all you need. I dont know why more people dont have one of these. It pays for itself the first time you use it. Since I have a mix of OBD1 and OBD2 cars, mines a little fancier, but the cheap ones work great.

Any quality aftermarket rotors and pads are a huge improvement over stock. Just depends on how much you want to pay.

Don't think they have any specifically for the DJ, bur there are kits on ebay where you can custom order them. http://www.ebay.com/itm/CUSTOM-CAR-TRUCK-FENDER-HOOD-RACING-STRIPES-PAIR-VINYL-STICKER-DECALS-WRAP-JDM-/121163121722?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Model%3AJourney&hash=item1c35e2843a&vxp=mtr#ht_914wt_852

That link no worky.

Well, what I have read is they can crack, I mean, you got holes drilled all over the surface. The downside of using drilled rotors is that all of those holes tend to weaken the rotors -- just like punching holes in the wall of a house would weaken the wall. After repeated stressful driving, the rotors can even crack. Dimpled is ok, slotted eats pads. Yes, autocrossers run them, but they also change them after every race. I'd be concerned about the longevity of cross drilled compared to solid rotors. Personally, I'm not out road racing, so I have no need for the cost of high performance brake parts. By all means, do what you want though.

Wagner, raybestos, brakebest, all good aftermarket parets, imo. As long as you're not putting OEM (dealer) parts on, they will last. 2late4u is corrrect, I got a lifetime warranty on my pads, you wont get that with dealer parts. Much cheaper than the EBC stuff and just as good, imo.
