Yeah, they are out there. Search for "2014 Dodge Journey taillights". Pretty much defines it.

Ebay, Amazon, Dealer, etc. Google is your friend when it comes to finding things.

Sounds like your battery is going/gone. Check all the connections.

My 09 did the same thing and it was that plastic strip.

Internet search. http://carr.com/light-bars/light-wings.html http://www.kchilites.com/ Lights will come with wiring instructions. Light bar will come with mounting instructions.

hmmmm...Unless they are like 3" wide and inflated to 1000 PSI, I call BS on their claim. Tires, but themselves, generally do not contribute to higher or lower mileage, all things being equal. (size, weight, pressure, compound, etc). Just IMO.

The trim level is buried in the vin. The last 6 digits are used to identify a specific (your) vehicle within the broader year/make/model class. It's like a serial number. Specific to YOUR vehicle. No dealer is going to give you $2000 more than it's worth just because you added some stuff to it. Put yourself in a buyers shoes. Would you pay more for it if you were in the market knowing it did not come from the factory that way but the previous owner added the stuff himself and commanded a higher price just because it "looks" like and SE? Owner added mods dont add to the vehicles value for the investment involved. For example, I had a 2005 Dodge Dakota, Laramie package, 4.7L, 4x4, crew cab. I modded the h3ll out of that truck, tuned engine, e-fan, lifted, bigger tires, cat back exhaust, etc. Even so far as to debadge and add R/T emblems to make it look like an R/T model (even though there was no R/T model offered in 05, still looked cool though : ) In the end, it was still a Dodge Dakota, Laramie package, 4.7L 4X4. The (literally thousands of dollars) in mods I made to it meant nothing to the buyer who bought her. Now, if you do make the changes and then sell it yourself, you may convince some uneducated buyer that it is indeed and SE instead of an AVP, but thats up to you. All I'm trying to say is, you can add the SE trim level things to it, but your still stuck with the AVP.

Or, pony up and spend $25-30 and buy yourself a haynes or chiltons manual. Priceless to have the info at your fingertips. First thing I do when I buy a vehicle, get a haynes or chiltons manual. If I need more in depth info, I will search ebay for some FSM's. Paying even $100 for a set of FSM's is well worth it for me. Without a warranty, just going somewhere for advice will cost you that much.

Tw Two choices: 1) Buy the OEM foglight housings and new headlight switch (I assume the things in there would just pop out or unscrew to mount OEM housings), I believe the wiring is already there, they usually run wiring for all options even if not equipped. Install the parts and have the dealer enable them through the PCM. I'm afraid these parts woud be dealer only at this time. Heres a link that says it's a complete kit, same as production. I will leave it up to you to find out the details. It's not a bad price reallyif it includes everything: http://www.mopar.com/part/82212789AB?s=362351&i=2206248&b=dodge 2) Buy some aftermarket fog light kit and wire them in yourself with a separate switch.

You can add your own aftermarket fog lights if your good at that sort of thing (cutting holes, wiring in, etc). If you want OEM,you gotta pay to play. Even if you did manage to get the housings and switch, the dealer will still have to "turn them on" via the starscan tool and charge you for it as well.

Seeing how your car is AVP from factory, adding items to make it appear to be an SE would be considered "modifications" come trade time. The VIN would still state it is an SE and they will base the trade on the original model designation, not the modifications or add-ons done to make it look like another trim level.

Our 09 had terrible headlights, which I converted over to HID for both low and high. I'm quite pleased with the headlights on the 2013. No plans to go to HID's . They are plenty bright enough for me.

That salesman obviously has no idea what he's talking about. I'd tell him he needs to learn more about the cars he's selling.

Not me. I refuse to pay to listen to the radio....

Welcome to the forum! You can have dual exhaust, I'm sure there must be a muffler shop around there somewhere you can have a system put together for your Freemont.

Welcome to the forum!

If your a do-it-yourselfer, ebay has cheap kits. Don't know if thast equates to cheap quality, but someone needs to be the guinee pig....

We got our 2013 SXT with around 10,000 miles for less than $17,000, including a 7 year/100,000 mile bumper to bumper extended warranty. I'll never buy new again. We trade cars every 4-5 years so buying (slightly) used makes better economic sense for us. Let someone else eat the depreciation.

Just google it. Depends on how much you want to protect your car. It aint cheap.

Congrats!! I thought you were a mom....

Welcome to the forum!

Thats why we went to Carmax. No hassle. None of that "let me talk to my manager" crap. I hate dealerships and avoid at all costs unless warranty work is involved.

I would have to guess truck tires dont fall into this catagory as a truck rides rough no matter what tire is on it, plus a truck has to tow/haul more payload than a car so they cant make the tires soft like they do for passenger cars. Driving style has a lot to do with how long any tire lasts. The OEM Kuhmo's on our 09 lasted till just after 40,000 miles. I have no problem with that. I just realize OEM tires "could" wear out prematurely and the reason for that is proven.

yes.
