RebelThunder Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 hi everyone, dealer says i purchased a 09 sxt awd. but I am not to sure, cause i did my research and awd are supposed to have that badge AWD at the back and has fog lights among other things. It says in the manual that the AWD light is supposed to be on only if the other wheels are losing grip, not too sure if I understand it correctly, can anyone please enlighten me on this, cause if its not AWD i will send it back to the dealr to be replaced cause thats the one i signed for.thanks RT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swerv Posted May 21, 2010 Report Share Posted May 21, 2010 look under the back between the rear wheels if there is a diff and driveshaft its all wheel drive I am a State Farm agent and i can tell you based off the vin you can tell. To check yours... look at the vin positions then match them with the ones provided. If they match then thats the body style you have. Example: 1. [body Style] [Vin Position] [Vin Character To Match Up] 2009 Journeys: 1: "R/T" 2WD 4D 2567/DG67 2: "R/T" AWD AWD 4D 2567/DH67 3: "SE" 2WD 4D 2567/DG47 4: "SXT" 2WD 4D 2567/DG57 5: "SXT" AWD AWD 4D 2567/DH57 2010 Journeys: 1: "R/T" 2WD 4D 2567/DG6F 2: "R/T" AWD AWD 4D 2567/DH6F 3: "SE" 2WD 4D 2567/DG4F 4: "SXT" 2WD 4D 2567/DG5F 5: "SXT" AWD AWD 4D 2567/DH5F Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smken Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 I am a State Farm agent and i can tell you based off the vin you can tell. 2010 Journeys: 2: "R/T" AWD AWD 4D 2567/DH6F Thank you!. The Window Sheet was still with the manual with this (previously owned) Journey and it said SXT, yet it has the R/T on the vehicle (at the rear) and all the options were as per the R/T. The info you provided proved to me that it was not just a "dressed up" SXT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windancer Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 It says in the manual that the AWD light is supposed to be on only if the other wheels are losing grip, not too sure if I understand it correctly, can anyone please enlighten me on this, I believe the light stays off if all is well, it will come on if the AWD has a problem. I do agree with a previous poster when he said if there is a driveshaft and a differential on the car it ias an AWD. Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
