lmoore1436 Posted February 22, 2017 Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 So my last car had an option to lock the car when the key was not in range, is there a setting for this in the Dodge Journey? It seems like a very simple thing most car makers could implement with keyless entry... I've had it for three months and have been happy with it but the features seem to be rather lacking. A Chrysler 200 my friend has included much more advanced technology and it's two years older. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkeaton Posted February 22, 2017 Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 That's how they keep the cost down. The DJ is not equipped with a lot of features found in more expensive vehicles. I just use the remote to lock the doors when I walk away. Not that big of a deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmoore1436 Posted February 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 I understand that, but my last car was a 19k civic. True it's not much of an inconvenience but for an SUV that's ticketed at 36k I think at least some niceties would come with an almost doubled sticker price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redtomatoman Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 I think you answered your own question. It's not much of an inconvenience. . . I would think your 2017 crossroad probably has a lot of niceties that you didn't have on your civic, just not the walk away lock feature. I am correct? As long as you are happy with the other aspects of your DJ, you'll get used to having to push the button when you leave the vehicle, it will become habit, and you'll forget all about the locking feature.

onecrazyfoo4u Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 If you paid $36k for the DJ you got ripped a new one. Bought our new fully loaded crew in 2012 for $25k out the door. Last I checked, inflation is that much... jkeaton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, got it at 30k, would have been less but had a bit of negative equity on my trade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had been driving Honda for years and the Pilot looks too "soccer mom" to me. The Journey looks a lot better, I don't get why all of the review sites say it looks boring? I think it looks pretty aggressive. Then again, I still think the Chevy Blazers from the late 90's look good. I guess I just like clean lines :-) jkeaton and onecrazyfoo4u 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love the looks of the DJ, one of the best looking crossover soccer mom vehicles! I don't understand the bad reviews...been a perfect vehicle for me 116k miles later! That's exactly why I don't buy into much reviews online. If I like it myself I'm going to get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
