Is your Challenger using the dealer installed SiriusXM? That would be for new and CPO vehicles. That seems to be what it is linked to.
Y’all are… surprisingly hard to persuade! I thought sharing a literal image of popup ads in the car would be the proof y’all needed to believe it was happening.
I mean, there are… more images of it happening…? Like, damn. Here’s an instance of it happening in a Challenger.
Reported by drivers as recently as Tuesday.
One of dozens of such reports, confirming make, model, and frequency of the ads (at every stop): https://www.reddit.com/r/Dodge/comments/1j838k8/why_tf_am_i_getting_ads_in_my_car/
I’m the world’s worst journalist, but I do try! When possible, I confirm facts with multiple sources. The “news” aspect here is that they were previously on a different Stellantis brand (Jeep), and now they have expanded to another Stellantis brand (Dodge).
If you have evidence that contradicts, feel free to share.
DON’T GIVE THEM IDEAS!
Why on EARTH would you need to remove a TIRE to replace a BATTERY…!?
… Have you tried looking at the image in the linked article? :,)
I’m real good with hand tools. Not real good with humans. It’s this.
Or what Astro_Plane describes… which is also linked… in the article.
Watch these Tesla’s eat shit in “Full” Self-Driving mode because there’s fog, it’s sort of darkly hilarious that human needed to intervene to avoid hitting a fucking freight train:
4 months is “almost” half a year, I guess.
Point of the post is that this popup ad thing has expanded from Jeep (small brand) into Dodge (large brand) from the parent company (Stellantis). What has happened in the meantime is that a bunch of other Dodge drivers has confirmed the issue is widespread and difficult to disable.
(Ope: I got fact-checked, turns out Jeep sells more vehicles per year than Dodge. I’m old, and apparently Dodge has lost a ton of market share since last I checked!
If y’all are concerned about recency, I updated the article to include more images of the popup ads, including one from as recently as 3 days ago.)
Dodge dropped 29% in sales in the USA last year, and something tells me, this isn’t going to have folks lining up to buy Chargers in 2025. Watch the free market* take care of this one.
*Unless you’re Tesla, in which case the market costs $277 million to purchase.
Jeep and Dodge are both owned by Stellantis :) It’s one shit-circus out of France.
On the good news front, the market is beating them like a rented mule. Dodge alone is down 29% in sales year-over-year.
That’s the grim truth, isn’t it
Thanks boss, I used the word and I’m like “I’m maybe 10% sure this is a word and most that confidence is coming from SimCity 2000” but then I went full send, I might not be the best journalist.
You know, I meant the corporate hierarchy. They’re increasingly living in Spacex company towns or other arcologies and such. The gated communities, whatever the corpo version of the Ivory Tower is. In a word, that one building from SimCity 2000.
I’m personally skeptical, probably won’t enjoy for myself (at least not til I’m REAL old), but hey, I love this for folks who can’t or don’t like to drive!
Fewer car accidents is good for everybody.
I’ve seen no debunking. Have you got a link for that?
Not saying you’re wrong, just that I’ve not seen it :)
I thought Nicole and me had something special!
“Oops! The error seems to have spread to our next most profitable lineup. We’ll get right on that!”
Why’s it taste like Red 40 and a non-zero amount of rat hair?
Good on you for working on yourself.
I can only respect that. Dodge ought to be afraid of you.
Hell yes I do.
When that old antipiracy ad was like “you wouldn’t download a car,” turns out they were vastly overestimating your average American tractor owner or car driver’s respect for the corporate arcology.
You are… very correct about that!
I somehow got my wires crossed and assumed that the PSA Group (who got rolled up into Stellantis) was still the home base. Thanks for the correction.
