If its on "F" then it's full. No need to go past full. I know some vehicles the needle will go past full, not the DJ apparently.

Do you have anyone else besides Canadian Tire up there? Seems like every forum I'm on, the Canadians are talking about Canadian Tire.....are they like a Firestone or something? What are other options for vehicle repair?
-
Welcome to the forum. Hopefully your warranty will take car of your issues.
-
I kindly disagree. I run Kumho's on 3 of my 5 vehicles with NO issues at all. Maybe you got a bad tire. Happens sometimes, no matter the brand.

Was searching ebay for some parts and stuff and ran across this......wonder what the heck happened??? That car is destroyed! http://www.ebay.com/itm/11-12-JOURNEY-R-TAIL-LIGHT-W-LED-LAMPS-QTR-MTD-457957-/380707847990?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Year%3A2011

Did you check ebay? -
Welcome to the forum. No major problems, but you might want to check out good and bad things to look out for before you buy a vehicle, not after.

Welcome to the forum. What do your controls look like? There should be a button to "sync" the driver and passenger temps.

Not that hard to do yourself. Save even more money.

Mine (and some others) does the same thing. Apparently it is the condensate drain from the rear AC system. It must dump on top of the muffler and give the appearance that it is the muffler itself dripping water. Nothing to worry about, other than the mess it leaves.

Dealer tried to sell me unnecessary service
jkeaton replied to Jay Sixspeedrt's topic in Owner Impressions
It pays to become an informed consumer. RESEARCH always. Never pay for "recommended" services until you can research to see 1. if it is something you can do yourself, or 2. if it is required, shop around for the best price. Most times, the labor rate is what balloons the cost of these "services". The dealer is the LAST place I take my car for anything, unless it is warranty work. -
No worries. Your advise is extremely helpful.
-
Not sure if you will be able to find anything direct fit unless they offered a power passenger seat option from the factory, I don't know that one. Other option is a custom setup by a vehicle customizing shop. Good luck and welcome to the forum!

Don't waste your money on cross drilled rotors unless you are racing autocross or something like that. They eat pads and they will eventually crack. Get some quality aftermarket rotors, raybestos, brake best, etc. After having the dealer replace both front and back rotors on our 09 within 15,000 miles, the next time I just replaced them myself and never had another problem. Brakes were still fine at 80,000 when we traded it in.

It does! Yes.. just saying water only one side...not under both mufflers.
-
Oh crap, my bad. I got confused. I think I meant a lift kit as I read where someone asked once about lifting their Journey and there was no lift kits to be found. Thanks for the correction.
-
Ah, have not thought about the muffler drains.....al;though it only does it on one side of the car (drivers side). I'll have to get under there and look. Thanks all for the advise.

Intake manifold runner control bank 1 open help
jkeaton replied to Dza07's topic in Engine & Transmission
Yes, our 09 Journey had this problem. Got it fixed under warranty. Seems to be a common problem for the 2.4L across product lines. -
Not the ATC, but I did read in the owners manual that the compressor may cycle with the system off to keep moisture levels down. I just figured it would be for the front only if I have the back HVAC turned completely off. Kinda bugs me that I can't manually turn off the ac compressor. My son had a car like that. The ac compressor ran for every position but floor. Bugged the crap out of me. I installed a switch to manually shut the compressor off until I wanted it on. Not going to do that to the DJ but you get my point. That to me is undue strain on the engine which costs fuel economy to have it running all the time,

So, we've had our 2013 DJ for a couple weeks. One thing I notice is there is always a small puddle of water under the rear of the vehicle after it has been parked. Clear water, must likely coming from the condensation drain, my guess, from the rear AC system. Problem here is, we are not running the rear AC. Have not had use for AC since we bought it. Does the compressor run on its own? We have the manual control system and I've actually turned the rear climate control off from the HVAC screen, but still a puddle every day. Thoughts?

Same issue with using my iphone with the USB. Has trouble connecting, wont charge, etc. Known good cable. It's an iphone 4S. Maybe not advanced enough....lol

The mat is sufficient for the purpose we use it for. It is not the exact size, maybe a 1/2" gap all around and it is thin and light. Wewant it mostly for when we have the dog back there it will help at least contain the dog hair (white dog/black carpet dont mix well). I looked at weathertech splash guards, but I'm a cheapster. I found these on ebay for $46 for the set of 4. Probably Chinese knockoffs, the directions were in German though and from what I could tell from the instructions, they were for a BMW. Yes, I installed them myself. Did not have to drill in any sheetmetal, just the plastic fender liner. I bought some plastic pins like that hold the plastic pieces on the underside of cars and drilled a few holes and pushed the pins in.
