    Welcome to the forum! Lets see some pics!
  2. Good luck up there....I got family in Cold Spring, NY...they say it is really cold and snowy....lol...I miss that kind of snow. We don't get snow here much. Mostly freezing rain, sleet. I can drive in the snow. Ice....i just stay home.
  3. My attitude towards vehicles I buy is "Hey, I bought it". I learned to fix things the right way myself if required. I will take it to the dealer for warranty work only and if it is something the warranty covers, I make them give me a loaner and I wont take it back untill it is fixed and the PROVE to me it is fixed. You gotta look out for yourself.
  4. Yes, it will turn off after a short delay. It's like a computer, it has to "shut down" on its own.
  5. Welcome to the forum. Where do you live? Are you driving in snow and freezing weather? As stated above, you might just have a chunk of snow or ice on something causing the vibration. You need to check it out at least yourself and see if there is something obvious.
  6. Hahaha...I feel your excitement. Believe me, I spent the past 5 years driving our 09 with the 2.4 4-cylinder, which, while a good engine, could barely get out of it's own way.....I love the Pentastar performance. I find myself "flooring" it quite often.
  7. Brakes are a non-issue, IIRC ever since they upgraded them in 2011/12. Earlier models with the terribly undersized brakes had tons of issues. Mine dont squeal at all. Going to another dealer for a second opinion is a good choice. I would also suggest making a service person ride with you so you can show them the issues.
  8. Congrats on the purchase and welcome to the forum.
  9. I hate putting miles on the DJ so we never go anywhere..... B)
  10. Wow....our 09 SE had front and rear pads/rotors replaced by me early on (less than 20k) and lasted until we traded it in at 80k. Only 2 sets of tires (OEM and the set we replaced them with), had the door wiring recall done, AC compressor, alternator and inlet runner valve solenoid replaced (all under extended warranty). That was it. Pretty reliable and nothing out of the ordinary IMO. I expected worse for the first year of the vehicle, but we were so pleased with the reliability we bought another.
  11. Ah I see. They dont have those things around here. They were deemed "illegal" so they took them all down.
  12. Seems it would need some sort of built in radar detector, which can be illegal depending on what state you live in. I don't know how it would detect red light cameras.
  13. Just remember you get what you pay for. This seller does not have the best feedback rating either. I try and stick with the ones that have at leasy 99.8% positive feedback scores.
  14. Welcome to the forum. My quesrtion is, are you referring to the car alerting you to radar traps or traffic cameras? I assume you mean the NAV? Excuse my ignorance, I don't have the big screen but that would be cool if it IS supposed to do that. Some one will chime in soon I'm sure.

    Happy New Year folks!
  18. Welcome to the forum! Lets see some pictures!!!
  19. Does it not have any rails at all or just missing the crossbars? Mine has the side rails but no cross bars which does not make sense. Why would they give you one without the other? Kinda useless without the cross bars.
