Skape Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 Had the 2012 Journey in for oil and also to listen to a weird noise. Realized halfway home that the glovebox was not closing. Upon further inspection it seems that it is off track. Not really sure, I cannot get it to disengage from the dash, but it will not latch either. I have a call in with them. Not really sure why they needed in the glove box to change the oil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhh3 Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 Welcome to the forum. I don't think that the oil filter is located in the glove box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skape Posted November 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 Yeah, I am not much of a car expert, but if the oil goes in the glovebox, then I have been doing it wrong lol! I just found the owners manuel online and I saw that you have to remove the glovebox to check the interior airfilter. I have a feeling that is what they did and whoever reinstalled it just slamed it shut and walked away. Oh well, It is going back in for an axel replacement Saturday (clunking noise in above) so hopefully they will fix it then. I am glad we bought the lifetime warranty they offered us!

dhh3 Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 (edited) I bought the extended warranty also. Maybe your gloves need to be oily before you put them in the glove box! My Nitro had an interior air filter, but it was located under the glove box. And, the Nitro was designed before the DJ - a case of reverse engineering!

Lebowski Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 It could be just a matter of opening it completely (by pushing, or pulling I don't remember the retainers inside the glove box) and re-seating it. I opened it a million times and 90% of the times I have to open and re-seat it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An axle replacement? Do tell... jkeaton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigtsr Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 They probably checked the cabin filter to see if they could ding you for some more money. Probably have the lot boy doing the "NOT" technical jobs. jkeaton and Journey_SeXT 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milous Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 Should be an easy fix, just release the side tabs and drop it down a bit to re-adjust, then re-seat it back in place. Journey_SeXT 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
