I'm just betting your one of those free speech kinda boys. You know, as long as they're agreeing with you. So V6, smallest engine eh? 24 MPG's, laughable.

Smallest engine? aww another one that is clueless, I have a V6 in the piece of crap tyvm. But you boys just say anything to chest thump, lmao I see where Dodge got it's advertising from, Honda used toys to get the youngins', Dodge used a sock puppet, so, tell us, was it the sock, the puppet, or the monkey you related with? Nothing I've written isn't the truth, BTW, resale is low on the DJ.....must be the fuzz they use s carpeting?

dhh3, I looked at the 2013, again, I thought I was getting a bargain, I ended up with a 2015. The price was cheap on the 2015, I see why now. Hey bama, first; your name fits you, can't help if rednecks have no class, you should try and better yourself princess.

LMAO at rolly, you haven't been right yet. I guess it takes a lot testosterone to like cheap plastic? My Truck before the Envoy was a Chevy S10 Blazer, Country Conversion, 10 years no problems with that. I know of 2 Durango owners and they've have nothing but problems, and I won't buy another vehicle that's ending the model. That's what happened with the Envoy, didn't make the parts any longer. You'd have to buy a used tailgate for a motor, and hope the motor was good. One window motor on the Envoy, 10 years. And there was only one major fix on the Blazer in 10 years. Oh well..... Again, nothing that can't be fixed *wink*

Glad to see everyone liking it, I won't have trouble getting rid of this one then, lol Like I say, I went down in comfort, safety, and class, and paying more. Something wrong with that picture. As far as room goes, the Envoy could hold a queen mattress, flat, without a problem, I brought home a riding lawnmower on the back, no problem. I initially planned on giving this to my brother, not a chance with the crash test ratings, I'd never forgive myself if something happened, I can afford better for him, along with he'd never put up with the low MPG. I wouldn't mind the gas, if it had something other than cubby holes to offer. As far a dogs go, funny, with the Envoy my rottie couldn't wait to jump in. The DJ, doors open she just walks around it after the first ride, she even knows, that's why I'm driving someone else's Hummer until I decide what to do. It's all good, I'm finding I'm going to be in a hell of a tax bracket this year, a donation like this could even the playing field.

Sport Wagon? *giggles* more like a station wagon. I'm so over this vehicle. The last straw was being on the side of the beltway last weekend, calling roadside about my spare dangling, and could they send someone to either remove it, or tighten it. NOPE, it's not flat we'll have to tow you to the dealership. I thought she didn't understand. Had I not just had surgery I'd of done it myself, so after getting on the ground to see if I'd be OK, I couldn't get up, ended up cutting my hand on something, just a mess. So I call my insurance roadside and asked what they would have done. They would have only towed if they couldn't get it to go up or down or other damage. But, then again they make no money by taking me to the dealership like Dodge would. They do take loss if the tire comes off and rips my bumper or hits someone else. BTW, ever feel how flimsy the bumper is in the middle underneath? So, PRO's; Nice storage space CON's; More for insurance, Doesn't get 16MPG's, Will have to pay through my insurance for roadside so I don't get stuck, Squirrely take offs (jumps left then right, then pulls right on hard acceleration), Smells of cheap plastic, I look at the meat on the door handle, I'm convinced it's a piece of covered folded over cardboard, Any adult passenger riding in the back seat must have insurance, I'm not paying for blood clots due to lack of leg room, Low crash test ratings, The vehicle is just cheap, but it's my fault for not thoroughly checking it out and going by the cheap price, just thought I was getting a deal like I did on the Envoy.. The old saying "The cheap comes out expensive."

Hi DodgeMD, Not sure what your budget is, but check insurance rates. All of the vehicles I put thru my insurance (Kia, Chevy, Nissan, Toyota, Honda), came up lower than what I'm paying for the DJ. Never thought to run the DJ vin with insurance, just figured it was a cheaper vehicle, and therefore would be cheaper on insurance. Even when I dropped my insurance roadside (big mistake) I still pay more for the DJ in insurance. Might be the poor crash test ratings? My MPG is no where near 16, in fact my EnvoyXUV got 20-22 city, the Hummer2 I'm driving now gets no less than 20mpg city. Rt5 is going to eat gas with all those lights, yes, I'm local to you. My next vehicle will have a loaner agreement, I don't think Waldorf Dodge does that? Jones Junction, which is further out will meet you 25 miles out, do a loaner swap and let you on your way. Beats being without a car when you need service. BTW, not sure exactly what you're looking at a far as model, but those DJ's have been on Waldorf lot since December when I was buying. I just looked at Criswell DJ's and they're better priced, and you may get another rebate that they hadn't added. Their SE's are regular 29K going for 21 and some change. AWD/V6.

I'm glad I went stripped, I do have V6 and AWD, not much needed after that.

What did I do about floor mats? Nothing, the thrill is gone with this vehicle not putting any money into it.

I purchased a 2015 in December, no net, or floor mats. Most all descriptions stated "cancels cargo net." Meaning something in the vehicle canceled the cargo net. So I didn't bother.

bramfrank, it's not all the same poster; I've come across stories from 2003 on. One guy had a bolt that cut through to the wires and was causing false starts.

Well, that tops my insane things happening in a car. I moved years ago and had taken the telephone with me, old push button phone, wrapped the cord around it, put it in the back seat, 2 houses away from home phone rings twice. My friend and I looked and each other and we swore we'd never tell anyone. I did a search; "My car started by itself and I don't have remote starter" and it seems this has been happening to other cars. Some good advice out here on what to check for.

journeyman425, looks good!!! I'm thinking DJs are accident magnets. I was almost hit yesterday on the beltway, a lady wasn't paying attention and coming over in my lane. When I got past her and looked, sandwich in one hand and laughing about it to the lady in the drivers seat. After all I've been through with cars and my last Envoy, I swore the first one to dent the DJ or ding the door is going to get it, as I always pay and lose in the end. I have to laugh, the first one that I thought dinged the door was a nun in Target parking lot, as I watched by the entrance to Target I thought "I'd hate to do it, but rules are rules!" Can't keep anything nice...

Nice lights! But, as far as paypal goes, until they're regulated beyond just employees, not thanks. I bought and sold, sold mostly, on ebay long before Uncle Griff even became an employee. One of our chat pages had a paypal employee pulling chatter's accounts and being stupid. no thanks, I like knowing my money is safe and insured.

I may find out who sent it, I want another one, one everyday key ring, and one for the spare. I hadn't been hounded for sales yet. I did get a letter from the dealership dated January 20th, to get ready to bring my DJ in for it's first service. First service???? So I called just in case I was missing something, nope, they're referring to the first oil change. I'll hit months before I hit mileage, it's got 234 miles as of today. Purchase 12/22, going no where fast.

It's a black leather keychain with Dodge on one side, and the 2 sideways hash marks on the other, red stitching. The clasp looks like one of those twist to undo, but actually slides and moves out of the way to put keys on. I like it. Not sure if it was from Dodge or the dealer? I was thinking Dodge, since the dealer sent peanut brittle, lol

Dodge or the dealer sent out a folder of sorts, explaining different things about the DJ, Dodge, the dealership, etc., and there's a nice leather keychain in the package. It's a nice not being forgotten after you purchase a vehicle.

I have a 2015 SE, my seatbelt doesn't chime at all. Nothing I did, that's the way it came?

I bought my DJ in a hurry also, I'm getting to like it. I have to understand that I'll probably never see the size of an SUV again, it's not in the cards, not because of gas nor cost. Starting in 2008 I was subjected to toxic mold on the job, 3 years of it I started having lung collapse. Ever since 2011-12 running boards have been my biggest problem. I started to look like I was climbing a mountain instead of getting into a vehicle. That was my major reason for going with the basic model I could get, to get a feel for the car, no sense in going all hog and then trading it in. So far so good. Other than being smooth riding like the GMC and the kick when I hit the gas, I'll be OK. I tried to make her kick yesterday and thought "oh, you have to think about it first?" So yeah, I shed a tear every time I see this Durango, cashmere with black interior... Hey, there's always 3-D cars, they're starting them right over here at National Harbor!

I figure when it's time for me to fill up it'll be under a dollar. I'm still riding on the free tank when I purchased the vehicle. Well over a half tank left.

Nice truck DTS, you'll see why I fell in love with my Envoy XUV soon enough. Thank you for your responses to my posts, it was nice meeting you on here. Stop by and tell us how you're doing from time-to-time. @redtom, I had a 93, 4 door Blazer for 10 years, Country Conversion, nothing fell off but a few flakes off the conversion paint? And my 2004 Envoy ran like a champ, just GMC wouldn't fix things that were supposed to be fixed, and then I got to sick to care. 2009 I went to the Sears outlet and bought a 42" Craftsman rider, had them load it on the truck, open the roof, close the gate, and I had a new rider. The bed was large enough for a queen size mattress.

MD just went up a few cents in gas tax, figured with the lower prices they'd hit us now. So it's $2.39 in MD, $2.29 in Alexandria, kero $4.39. yep, the further south you go the cheaper it get's. the further south more redneck area. It's a divided VA; rednecks, yuppies/ageing yuppies, the lollipop kids, and the elderly wondering when it's all going to end and how. The lollipop kids are the ones with nice cushy government jobs that pay anything for everything. If they knew what I know they'd be saving that money. MD just got a new governor, he was supposed to stripe the 40 taxes, and all you hear about is another 1% sales tax and the bag tax across MD. The 1% sales tax is supposed to go towards schools. If that's so, where is all the casino money going? Those millions were supposed to go to schools? 40 to 80 million a month in casino earnings, someone has some explaining to do. smh

jkeaton, not all of VA, Alexandria runs between $2.25 and $2.35 depending on which station, I think the closer to Richmond you get the cheaper, Woodbridge VA would probably be 2 and under, but then you spend all that savings at the outlet. kerosene is $4.89 a gallon.

The article said if you are driving around "sportier" is like in speeding? Not problem in this DJ. When I had the Envoy I watched the RPMs for speed since the cluster panel was shot, the DJ seems to go all on it's own, I'll look down and being doing 70 without realizing it. I wouldn't get new wheels unless they are to good to pass up, and/or getting new tires. bramfrank, we don't get enough snow for 2 sets of tires, and I would hate to be carrying around a set every season change. shhhhh she's 19 days old and has a 145 miles on her... 141 are my miles I hate to say it, this year if my brother isn't well off and needs a car and hadn't decided on anything, he can have this one, I'll just move up a bit, we'll see, knowing him he'll want another Subaru.

We use to have "Hubcap Heaven" years ago, you could sell them hubs that rolled off of cars depending if they were in still good condition. I figured when they went out of business is when they no longer made hubcaps. I wonder if I'll save a bit in gas changing wheels? These weigh more and probably use more gas? No? I'm in no hurry to change them.
