THIS Will Put JEEP, DODGE & RAM OUT OF BUSINESS!

Jeep, Dodge, RAM OUT OF BUSINESS
In this video, I discuss how the UAW could potentially put Dodge, Jeep, and Ram out of business.
My name is Brandon and I am a used car dealer. I created Car Questions Answered to share the ins and outs of the used car market from my perspective. I share with you updates on car prices, what's happening at the dealer auctions, and what it's like being a dealer. My goal is to share information to help you make the best decisions while buying a car to save you money. I do not want car dealers taking advantage of you.
Thanks for watching and please feel free to leave any comments you may have in the section below!

The only problems that dealers around here have is how they treat their customers. The local Jeep Dealer has - for six months straight now - refused to work a recall on our vehicle. Still ongoing. The dealer 20 miles down the road ghosted us on three separate service appointments, and the service manager actually asked me to my face: "Why should we service a vehicle we didn't sell?" There used to be some conventional wisdom. Something about reaping and sowing. This "crisis" couldn't have happened to a nicer group of people.

[@richardwarren7492]

Why should we service a vehicle we didn't sell?" Hint? That's nothing new -

[@GuiltyPleasures]

@@richardwarren7492 A few reasons: 1.) Because we paid $120,000 for it. 2.) Because we were told that all Jeep dealers service Wagoneers for customers AND OWNERS. 3.) Because Jeep Wagoneer Client Services scheduled the appointment and told me to do it. I could go on, but I don't think I should have to. And as far as it not being anything new: New or not, it's not acceptable.

[@richardwarren7492]

@@GuiltyPleasures Being told that is nothing new. Believe me, I know. I was a service and parts director for 11 stores, then CEO of that group until sold to Penske. We used to hear that from customers from other dealerships that then tried to use another dealership. We serviced any other dealers vehicles, warranty or customer pay. Why? We made money on warranty repairs, we made money on customer pay and many of these folks bought their next car from us. As to this? "it's not acceptable." I agree 100% This is a federal law. " It doesn't have to be the same dealer that you purchased it from; any dealership from the same company can do it." End of story. It's been that way for decades.

I used to work at a Stellantis dealer this year. I live in a CARB state, thanks California, so a majority of our Jeep inventory was the 4xe nonsense. Some of them, including the Rubicons, were listed for $75k+. It’s absolutely insanity. I honestly felt bad selling some of these because they’re just Jeeps, not BMW X5s.

Ironically yet not surprising, a jeep wrangler is 1000 times more reliable than a RAM truck .. and those disposable hot-wheels that tried to copycat classic MOPAR that were once reliable,are now in days all plastic and crossed wires connecting a bunch of faulty electronics. With all that having been said, I wouldn’t risk $20K on a modern wrangler .. and those Cherokees and Wagoners will likely get crunched up and recycled into some type of ammunition that will continue to feed foreign wars once the repo process has yielded the same negative results: These cars are garbage and anyone with common sense would do themselves a favor by staying away from them

[@tommyhawks856]

"How the hell do they shareholders allow his raise" - Easy, the CEO's pay is almost always set by the board members. They are also usually major share holders in the company. Very few people have enough money to buy the shares that would give them enough any say in the matter. BTW, a CEO of one company will likely be a board member of other companies. They don't deny raises to one company's CEO so that they can get their raises with a company where they are the CEO. In a sense, they vote for their own wages.
