    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.

              They really don't make them like they used to.

              adds Dodge to the no buy list

                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.

                  You do realize this is based on a almost half-a-year old reddit post? What has happens in the meantime?

                  Note to self, never buy a Stelantis car. Not that I have ever considered that anyway!

                    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.)

                          If you disconnect the car’s cellular network, do the ads go away?

                              Yeah, mine did too...

                              I updated the "entertainment deck" to a unit with aux, usb, sd card, and Android Auto (which is what I really wanted).

                              All good!!

                                  I'm glad people are made aware of it!

                                  My point was, if the ads are still pushed to cars, I'm surprised FuelArc used a 4 month old reddit post as reference. Someone most have contacted Dogde, Jeep, or Stelantis for a comment on this.

                                      Took my Dodge vehicle in for service. They wanted my email address "so they can get in touch with me if I don't answer the phone." I gave it to them.

                                      It took less than half a day for the first spam mail to hit my inbox.

                                        Makes sense. I was surprised that Jeep was referred to as the "small brand".
