Replying to: prendy (Jul 22, 2008 9:16 am) the transmission problem was caused by a bad seal on the right. Also had the TPMI switch replaced for the electrical problem, had the same recall / problem with my 2007 4 dr Jeep. So watch for that recall as well. I called the dealer about a new problem (noted from someone else on here) about the water pouring from my overhead compartment. Here is what they told me about that... "take it through the carwash and if it doesnt leak then it was a fluke" ....WHAT???? I may be a woman (and blonde) but I am not stupid! I know A LOT about cars. I have been battling Chrysler since fall of 2007... returned my Jeep on a lemon law threat. Not so happy that I will be on my 4th trip in for the vehicle. So in closing the two recalls that I did receive so far are the electrical harness and one for something to do with the hydraulics in the rear hatch... did not receive the last one in the mail the dealer caught it when it was in for the other stuff. I was told that the other two TSB warnings are for a different engine and you are saying that it is for a different lot of journeys and that my vehicle was not flagged for those by my VIN. Nice chatting! |

| I haven't had any of these problems that you guys are talking about. Sunroof doesn't leak, rotors are fine, hydraulics are good. Mine was built the last of May. Maybe it missed all of the recalls. | |

09 journey, yeah i just received the recall notice for the wiring harness Wed. the day before i brought it in for leak,my dealer said they found the leak ,it was in the sunroof tray something like that,i didn't receive my receipt for work done,i was in a hurry to go to work,my guy said they would mail it to me,(they have been very good to me over the years this dealership,so i have no doubt they will mail it to me) also told me if problems kept happening with my Journey ,they would help me with a Lemon law suit. as far as the back latch,i never received a recall notice,but they did repair latch anyway,also my brakes with less then 4000 mi. on it, had bad rotors and had to be replaced,i notice it shook a very little when i hit the brakes just alittle,mechanic informed me they were warped from heat,als they have found this problem on the avenger( i think this is the car the jouney platform was taken from and lengthened, crh47,i hope you don't have any of these problems ,but be prepared,you just might not have received any of the recall notices yet. I didn't look to see when mine was built,but i am not a happy camper,if the brakes go again in 4000 miles or so,i will file a lemon law suit here in PA. i hope i don't experience any transmission seal leaks or anymore problems,but i think Chrysler just threw the Journey in sales circulation ,and figured they would deal with the problems later. I do love the ride ,and the room and styling of the journey, but not to happy with gas mileage,so far about 17 mpg. not to bad but not to good either. So inclosing i hope everyone has really good experiences with their Journies for now on. good chatting with everyone,and i hope we can keep helping each other out when we have probl P.S. Chrysler didn't tell me about the wiring harness recall until the other day when i received recall,i found the recall on another sight with recalls on it,about two weeks before i received the notice also ,didn't see the leak i was talking about until we were in a very severe rain storm and the car was parked in the driveway,next morning wife went out to go to work,and opened case up to get sunglasses,and water came out,not a whole lot, also took car thru carwash to try and duplicat it,no water in case ,but my dealer leak specialist ,who only comes in once a week on Thursdays found it anyway. sorry my post is so long ,but just trying to inform everyone with answers that i received later |

The Journey is a tad cheaper than the Suzuki XL7, and they are similarly sized. However, for just about $2,000 more, you get a great V6 in the XL7, while the Journey is the price leader at a $20,000 even price for a large-ish CUV, although you only get a 4-cylinder engine and 4-speed automatic. Therefore, for whatever criticisms you have of the Journey, remember it may be the cheapest and that is worth something. |
