Great report. My wife also complains about the A-piller.

Yeah, that sync thing in the Fords is lightyears ahead of uconnect.

Welcome to the forum! Lets see some pics!!! (of the car)

Welcome to the forum!

Thanks for sharing. It is good to see some positives. We need more of them!

Same here. We traded our 09 for a 2013 about 3 months ago. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to DJ!

Welcome to the forum. I think you should ask the dealer about the rebates. I don't know myself, maybe someone else does. Don't know about ther "stellar dealer" either. Sounds like a sales gimmick.

For comparison, we paid just over 17k for our 2013 with just at 10k miles. IMO, thats a high price for the year/miles.

My very first car in high school (1980-ish) was a 1969 Dodge Charger.....(I was a huge Dukes of Hazzard fan)....thats when it all started....lol

Haha I had the same issue. Wife wanted the Edge cause of that silly kick to open rear hatch.....Luckily none of the Edge's were in our price range for the year/mileage/seating. Only the Journey fit. Welcome to the forum!

Have you inspected your brakes? May have a caliper sticking.

I was joking myself....tons of threads where people complain how their AWD DJ is horrible in the ice.

My Journey is a 6 cylinder too! And it is the BEST car I have ever had! Good luck with the Kia. I have a request racer102354: Would you kindly refrain from hijacking new members threads in this section to compain about your car? This section is for new forum members to introduce themselves to the Dodge Journey community. If you have specific problems you would like to discuss or get input on, please start your own thread. Thanks.

Gee....another vehicle that does not handle well on icy roads??? I though it was only the DJ AWD that could not handle ice.... Seriously, glad you and the DJ are ok.

Hope your ok after that accident! And congrats again on the purchase. I travel through Alberta quite often on my way to Olds. Pretty (flat) country.....and COLD in the winter!

Congrats on the purchase!!! I know how you feel....even going from an 09 to a 2013...I was STOKED tio have another DJ!!!!!!!!!!

I dont use oil treatments, but I do add a bottle of lucas fuel system cleaner through every few months or so. Are you saying you have not even changed the oil since 2010?

Ah, yes, you are absolutely correct. I forgot about that. I just had the one.

I've bought several remotes off ebay for different vehicles. Never had a problem. You will have to get the dealer to get it to work though. It's not like the older vehicles where you could jump a couple of pins on a connector somewhere to program it. They have to use the starscan tool. Dealer charged me $50 to program the remote for my Sebring. I never use the dealer for parts if I can avoid it.

Welcome to the forum. Great group here with lots of technical know-how. Post your issues in separate threads.

Why do you need another key and FOB? You can get them much, much cheaper on ebay and elsewhere. Probably more trouble and cost than it's worth to convert to a regular key. http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-UNCUT-CHRYSLER-DODGE-REPLACEMENT-FOBIK-SMART-KEY-FOB-KEYLESS-ENTRY-REMOTE-/221350214645?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Year%3A2010

Yes. Normal. Rev limiter keeps you from blowing up your engine.

Welcome to the forum! We had really good luck with our 09.

I dont even use my FOB. Doors unlock just by grabbing the handle.

Man, I am coming to the conclusion that the AWD system is not really worth the extra problems, money and mileage costs. Our 09 FWD DJ handled the snow arond here like a champ. I will stick with FWD. I would visit another dealer though. And, do yourself a favor, spend $20 and buy a code scanner/reader. One of the biggest rippoffs known today is charging someone to "read the codes". It's not rocket science. My code reader is the best tool in my toolbox.
