TrueDelta Reviews the Available Features of the 2014 Dodge Journey
2014 Dodge Journey Available Features: Cons
Year
Comment
I’ve already noted the lack of a power recliner for the driver seat. You can get a standard sunroof, but not a panoramic one as in the Hyundai. The front passenger seat can perform two tricks, but these preclude any power adjustments. Second-row passengers only get A/C vents with the optional third row. Those seeking the latest safety nannies will also be disappointed. A rearview camera and rear obstacle detection are included with the nav, but that’s all you can get. Blind spot, land departure, and forward collision warnings won’t be available prior to a FIAT-based replacement. Finally, you'll have to open and close the liftgate manually (which I personally prefer anyway). Power isn't an option.
