Ray Morrow Posted September 12, 2016 Report Share Posted September 12, 2016 Just ordered a 2017 Dodge Journey Crossroads, Silver, loaded. VON U7178935. It will replace my 2015 Dodge Journey Crossroads, It's been a good one, except for Nav problems, (3 different units). I ordered this with everything I could get. Should be here, 6 to 8 weeks. Can anyone keep me informed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Morrow Posted September 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2016 After I ordered my first Journey Crossroads, I joined the forum! There were several members who had access to help me follow my Journey through the production process. Using the VON (vehicle order number) they posted on the forum, my vin number, and kept me informed from that point, all the way until it was delivered to Huntsville, Al. I was even able to follow it from when it left Mexico, until it was delivered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkeaton Posted September 13, 2016 Report Share Posted September 13, 2016 Ah, I see. I know a bunch of regulars no longer post because of this new format that makes it so hard to see what's going on where. If you remember who it was specifically, perhaps you could shoot them a PM and ask if they will post back here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While the old link for tracking builds isn't working, you can try asking the order group by sending an e-mail to voimteam@chrysler.com. They may send you the current link or may have a tool to send you status updates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Journeyman425 Posted September 14, 2016 Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 Hi Ray - it was I who tracked your VIN and build/delivery process for you through DealerConnect on your current Crossroad. As I recall you are a retired Chrysler Engineer. There's a new tracking system in place which I haven't used yet. I tried running your VON but it did not return any results. That either means that it's not in their tracking system yet, or I simply don't know how to use it yet. Scenario number two is the most likely... I will try a couple of VONs from my own dealership and see if they work. If yes, then scenario number one begins to exhibit some modicum of validity. I'll keep you posted. rolly and BlindSquirrel 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Journeyman425 Posted September 14, 2016 Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 Update...I ran a VON from my dealership on a Challenger Hellcat we have on order. That worked, but that car has been on order for several weeks. So, I then tried a VON on a Jeep ordered today. No results. I think your VON may not be in their system yet. I'll check again tomorrow and let you know when I see some results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Morrow Posted September 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 Thanks Journeyman. Yes, I am the same guy, retired from Chrysler, Huntsville Electronics. I ordered the 2017 Dodge Journey to replace the one that you helped me follow, nearly two years ago> My how time flies! This is another Chrysler Company Car. When I get it, I'll turn the 2015 in. Looking forward to getting it. This one will be silver, and it's loaded. Very nice hearing from you again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I re-checked your VON tonight but it still does not show up on VINtrack. I'll let you know when I see results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Morrow Posted September 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2016 Contacted Company Car Group today, and they said my vehicle is in the ' D " stage! What does that mean, Journeyman425? I guess I should remember it from my last order, when you walked me through it, but, I don't. Guess 69 years is catching up with me.

Journeyman425 Posted September 16, 2016 Report Share Posted September 16, 2016 "D" status means your Journey's production sequence is now in a firm schedule stage, and the serial number is assigned. Your order started in BA status which is an unscheduled new order, then BX where it passes edit, then C when it its tentatively scheduled. You went to D pretty quickly, probably because dealers nationwide are ordering stock for the 2017 model year at the same time you placed your order, so there are likely duplicate orders to be produced and shipped all around the country and in Canada. Next is D1 where they sequence it for production. My personal estimate is that you'll probably see it at your dealership in about five weeks from now, barring any natural or man-made anomalies... Still doesn't show on my VIN Track site at FCA. I played around with VIN Track and I think it doesn't report on anything with less than a D1 status. Basically until it reaches D1, it's just paperwork and data transfer/sharing, so tracking is only really useful to administrative personnel at this point. Every VON I have run with D1 and up displays results on the VIN Track page, whereas D or below does not. I think that's it. So...I will let you know when information begins to appear for me.

Ray Morrow Posted September 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2016 Got another update from my friend in Company Car Group. I'm now D1, with a ship date of 9/28> Wow, that sounds unbelievable! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larryl Posted September 16, 2016 Report Share Posted September 16, 2016 Then it will take 3 weeks by rail to get to the compound Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Journeyman425 Posted September 17, 2016 Report Share Posted September 17, 2016 Ray - my theory was correct. Now that your order is in D1 status, it shows up now on VIN Track.

I agree, I don't visit here much anymore, due to not only the awful layout but the site is extremely slow. Whoever designed this forum software should find another career, it's probably the worst I've ever seen on any forum out there. The prior software was SO much better.

Ray Morrow Posted September 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2016 Hi, Journeyman425! Just got back from a long overdue week vacation with wife. I was wondering if there are any updates about my Journey Crossroad. last update was it would be shipped on the 28th. Thanks, Ray Morrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Journeyman425 Posted September 28, 2016 Report Share Posted September 28, 2016 Haven't been able to get on the Vehicle Ordering and Inventory Management (VOIM) site all day - I'll try again tomorrow. The tab is grayed out when I try to select it. DealerConnect is undergoing some changes and a few features aren't currently working. I think that's one of them. Can't read my CSI scores either but I knew about that - that tab is down until 10/3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Journeyman425 Posted September 29, 2016 Report Share Posted September 29, 2016 Ray - Your Journey has been built! Production status is "I", which means built and final inspection pending. No shipping ETA yet. I'll keep you posted. jkeaton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Morrow Posted September 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2016 Thanks Journeyman 425! Great info. Thanks again for keeping my posted.

Ray Morrow Posted October 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2016 Journeyman425, has anything changed on my new Journey? haven't heard anything lately, from anyone.

Journeyman425 Posted October 4, 2016 Report Share Posted October 4, 2016 As far as I can see, your Journey has not left the rail yard yet, but is due in to your dealer by the 29th of this month. No vacation for me...I've got a kid in college $$$$$$$$$$$$$!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Morrow Posted October 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2016 All mine are out and about. Already finished the college thing with two of them.. I know what your talking about.. Thanks for the update. I have to time it right, to have my Journey all cleaned up and ready to turn in, when the new one gets here. That's why i keep asking. well I'll shoot for the 29th of this month. Thanks Journeyman425 for the updates. Ray Morrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
