Gas Recirculation Valve (egr Valve) problems of the 2015 Dodge Journey

While driving the air conditioning automatically comes on. I was driving to work on a residential street, decided to open the window even though it was 8:30am and it was already 95 degrees outside here in vegas. Didn't get out of my complex before the air conditioner came on by itself.

They are keeping it for a few more days to "put more miles on it to see if they can reproduce it" and also have a call into their corporate engineers and are waiting to hear back from them. I told the service manager at the dealership that this was a known issue with the t. I. P. M. . Read more...
