Dodge Chargers Now Have Pop-Up Ads at Every Stoplight
-
Hornet, Journey, Charger. That’s it. Hornet is a piece of cheap, charger has ads. Journey…?

Nothing quite says “high-performance muscle car” like a popup ad for a Mopar Extended Warranty covering your whole center console. That’s right, Dodge Charger owners are now experiencing an exciting new feature: pop-up ads that appear every time the vehicle stops at a light. This absolute garbage feature was spotted in the wild, take a look here.
You know, I always expected Tesla to be the first to do this kind of shit, but never underestimate Stellantis's commitment to be at the bottom.

This is old and they’ve already said it’s a bug. Stellantis sucks for sure though.
"It's just a bug, trust me bro"
Yeah OK huge corporation. The followup question is why this mechanism exists at all if it was never intended to be used in this fashion.

I’ve been debating getting a new car after paying a ton to fix up my old one but now I think I’ll keep her forever.
Anybody got a lead on a rebuilt turbo for a 2.0L TSI?
Same boat, big bill this time though. Weighing my options. Not really liking the price, quality, or connectivity of newer vehicles...
-
Their new $85k Charger will surely save them...

Been doing this with Jeeps already. They claimed it was a mistake.

They really don't make them like they used to.
adds Dodge to the no buy list
Which one is NOT on that list?

For that rhyme you deserve a nickel!

Damn, I would be pissed if my car started showing ads. I hope this enshitification doesn't spread.
Narrator: "It spread. A lot. Like, a lot a lot. Really you wouldn't believe how much it spread. It spread like Domino's

Two weeks ago it was Jeep. Now it's Dodge. This is how it creeps. Are both those companies owned by Crystler?

Yes, along with Ram pickup trucks and IIRC Fiat, somehow.

It's called Stellantis now.

Welp, my days of not buying Dodge cars seem to be coming to a middle.
Be careful, it might be illegal to not buy one.

The terms and conditions: no stations within 500 miles of you participate, so pay up on top of the no revocable subscription.

"Oops! We accidentally incorporates ads into our software! It was an honest mistake..."
I've never wanted to go smashing car windows in a lot until now
-
I'd get rid of that car so fast it would make your head spin. There is no car I'd put up having this garbage to keep
Well I'd put up with an ad-driven free version of a Nissan GTR or so. Easily. But not if I paid for it properly.
-
If this ever happens to any car I buy, it'd be going right back to the dealer.
I would drive it straight back into the dealership through their display room window.
