vertex Posted June 27, 2016 Report Share Posted June 27, 2016 I posted this last week: http://www.dodgejourneyforum.com/topic/9060-2011-journey-grinding-or-rubbing-sound-when-i-accelerate/ Anyway, as a followup, the dealer told me that it was the engine and transmission mounts that were bad, and they were replacing all 4 for about $1000. Just wanted to know if this should be considered a part of the power train warranty, since it's under 60K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bramfrank Posted June 27, 2016 Report Share Posted June 27, 2016 I would think not. But that's an opinion, not a fact. And that's why I have an extended warranty, too. dhh3 and 2late4u 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfurth Posted June 27, 2016 Report Share Posted June 27, 2016 Typically, no, they aren't covered. The powertrain warranty covers the case and everything (more or less) inside of it. It does not cover the components which hold it to the vehicle. dhh3 and jkeaton 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warranty paperwork should state what's covered and not covered. dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2late4u Posted June 27, 2016 Report Share Posted June 27, 2016 he should have told you immediately if it was a covered part or not as all he has to do is pull it up on his computer ,unless you didnt ask them.... and it wouldn't be covered under the standard powertrain warranty but would be under the extended warranty coverage. but when i've replaced motor mounts before i've never heard sounds like you were describing maybe a clunk or knock but not grinding noise unless maybe they were real, bad dont know good luck . also would have been a lot cheaper even using oem mopar parts done at a regular mech. shop..... dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhh3 Posted June 27, 2016 Report Share Posted June 27, 2016 Seems odd that they would all fail at the same time. There has got to be more to this story. jkeaton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty256 Posted June 28, 2016 Report Share Posted June 28, 2016 sounds like a lazy tech who just replaced all the mounts instead of taking the time to find which one was making the noise jkeaton and dhh3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kbuzz Posted July 31, 2016 Report Share Posted July 31, 2016 I just found out 3 of mine are broken and to repair them it will be $1500. Is it dangerous to drive my car at this point is my question? And we were hearing the same grinding type noise as well. This has been the noisiest car I've ever owned. dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should take your vehicle to where Vertex took his - they did all 4 of his for $1,000 . . . . so your dealer wants exactly double what he paid. Sounds to me like you should be shopping around for a better price. jkeaton and dhh3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhh3 Posted July 31, 2016 Report Share Posted July 31, 2016 Not one of these posts lists whether it is the the 4 or 6 cylinder. If these were all the same engine, it would seem that there might be a recall in order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bramfrank Posted July 31, 2016 Report Share Posted July 31, 2016 Were there more? This thread only involves two vehicles, one an '09 and the other an '11. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
