LaToya Zamarron Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 First off, I LOVE this car! I bought a 09 Journey SXT over Valentine's/President's Day weekend. It replaced an 01 Ford Escort that's seen better days. At first I wanted a minivan but with 2 kids & 2 dogs, I couldn't really justify the reason for one. My husband said to check out the Journey. He's a Dodge fanatic with an Avenger. For some reason I confused it with the Caliber & didn't want to. We saw this one & I fell in love. This car so suits me. Love the ride & the handling, the storage space, & of course the "sometime" seats. Before, I'd have to pick a car that I could afford, whether I liked it or not. We got lucky with this one, found it with decent miles at a decent price. He's mad because I won't give him credit for picking it, lol. Still trying to figure some of the features & find replacement parts for a couple of things because it was pre-owned. I've been to the dealership to get a quote on parts like the illuminated vanity mirrors (why the mirror covers were removed, I don't know) & weatherstripping around the driver door (it look like they tried to use a hanger to unlock the door or something). I replaced the fob because it didn't come with one. Are there suppose to be liners in the floor compartments? The dealership didn't have a part number for them. Or is there somewhere I can get a good price on parts? I plan on keeping this one for a while but when I'm able to go New-New, I want an R/T with all the bells and whistles!!

rolly Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 Welcome Latoya. It's not hard to love the Journey. Mine came with floor mats, but we opted to buy Weathertech floor mats which are great for keeping your carpets dry. It sure was great with all the snow we've had this year. Enjoy your "new to you" ride! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would check out ebay and your local pull a parts befor shelling out big bucks for dealer supplied parts. Neither of our Journeys came with liners in the floor compartments. Just bare plastic in there. You could probably make your own pretty cheaply if you so desire liners for them. I would have made the dealer fix those things before purchase, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaToya Zamarron Posted February 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 He claimed they couldn't fix them & the original owner didn't leave the fob, just a regular key, so we got him to come down on the price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaToya Zamarron Posted February 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 I did some searching yesterday & I think I found a site that has it. Or at least that's what it looks like from the diagram http://www.factorychryslerparts.com/showAssembly.aspx?ukey_assembly=544620&ukey_product=4517683 I'll call & check their return policy before ordering just in case Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
