[@btcbob11392]

What do they expect, shoddy overpriced vehicles and dealers adding thousands of " extra's " that no body wants.

[@stevewhite-ko4zj]

AGREED!!! And they're STILL over priced..

[@mach5-speedracer]

They should have lowered the price on Fiats and continued to build them. Great gas mileage.

[@magnusatheos7301]

Not as shoddy as some of that foreign junk people love so much. Hyundai engines were failing under 30k just to name one. Nissan had the same issue for a while Toyota's were killing people for a while. Funny how people tolerate that from foreign car makers.

[@txmojave4546]

Remember no bail outs for them and the rest of the automakers.

[@gus892]

When I think of Chrysler I think of Nash, Packard, Studebaker, Hudson, Corvair just to name a few.

[@markseehawer3762]

100% agree let the market pick the winners.

[@mattm2507]

Exactly this..they will try to make it political though and bail them out, the public needs to make sure we make it very clear that is not acceptable and would be a poor career choice voting for an auto bailout in ‘25, ‘26 or whenever it happens.

[@johnsiorek1630]

Since the pandemic their quality dropped off so far no one's going to buy, and they're not going to buy $75,000 Jeeps. I need to make a V8 pickup for $25k a Jeep 4 x 4 for $27k. And An affordable minivan $35k

[@edfarley4560]

Haha Walmart effect: you think you’re getting a good deal but it winds up in the trash

[@dalerozendaal4902]

Greed took over, You done it to YOURSELF! You're fired-walk away with nothing!

[@NicholasANappiNick]

It’s fine to offer $99000 trucks but make some every body can afford 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

[@MrDamien1963]

That's like trying to talk horse sense to a group of jackasses

[@johnstark5275]

And one that does not need constant repair at any price

[@Ozzy4555]

Overprice + low quality = no sales.

[@jimbobaggans1564]

If you think the car market is bad now, wait until next year at this time. You ain't seen nothin yet!

[@DanGilliland-pi4vh]

Oh yea you are definitely correct. It's a very bad environment now, bank lending drying up, and subpar low quality garbage that won't last 7 years .already, negative equity is a huge problem with no easy answers.

[@DanGilliland-pi4vh]

And already vehicles bought in the last 3 years already are having expensive repair bills .the result the average person can't do both continue to maintain and make the payments and are walking away from their vehicles at a very alarming rate.

[@ControlTouchMaster]

Nobody wants to pay for these overpriced vehicles. People would rather have an inexpensive basic vehicle over an expensive vehicle with features they don’t want or need. Additionally, new vehicle quality, reliability and longevity have been getting progressively worse every year.

[@GeorgeTsagrinos]

Arrogant French ownership with no knowledge or vision of North American consumer demand or needs. Not a good marriage.

[@LeadStarDude]

There was no shift in what people want. Stellantis stopped producing what people want when they stopped manufacturing the Hemi V8. Then they went all in on EVs, which less than 2% of the US population are interested in. On top of all that, they overpriced all of their vehicles by 30 to 40 thousand dollars. This is a perfect storm of stupidity by a European company about the US market.

[@ALDOOLD]

It looks like the executives of Stellantis never understood what the american market is very different of the other markets, and never took care of the expectations of american customers, they probably thought that they Can offer the same low quality véhicules they do especially on the european market!

[@downhomeonthefarm6464]

The Hemi was an over hyped sales pitch. Un knowing customers thought if they bought a new vehicle with a Hemi, they had something special. Little do they know, most engines these days are hemi design....

[@Redlinesixtynine]

Nailed it. A lot of people are simply looking at V8s in pick ups and non turbo engines for other vehicles. Simple, and effective.

[@gordie2377]

The 392 Hemi is still available in the Jeep Wranglers. It was supposed to be a special one-year model, but they keep extending it from the '23 model year, to the '24, and now '25. People love it, but it is expensive, as well as being a fuel hog.

[@edornelas8275]

The problem is they haven’t gone all out on EV’s. They do lnot have a pulse on the market, realibility & quality is an issue. They decided to chase the 1% of consumers .

[@mikeleduc683]

frist place all there cars and trucks are way overpriced. that one reason there not selling. and put tax and fees. and building cars and trucks nobody wants. there going to let the market place sort it out. might take a few years.

[@jeffreylinden2690]

"Sort it out" means "out of business"....

[@jeffreybray4473]

The root cause of their sales tanking is because they jacked their prices up rediculously high after 2019. I'm sure a big part of their justification was to offset the loosing move to EV's.

[@stevepailet8258]

ridiculous greedy prices along with highly suspect engineering of products that anyone with brain understand is going to break Just a matter of when not IF>>> Add to this that Stellantis is a EU based company that really could care less what they sell into the US market. So you are totally correct in your assessment of why sales are tanking

[@MJWms2]

The only hope for Chrysler is if it’s sold back to American ownership. Otherwise the countdown to end has begun.

[@robertwbingo]

You nailed it. There's no sense of Chrysler tradition, history, nor pride, on the part of the incredibly arrogant Carlos Tavares. He's poison. He doesn't give a rip about the American market and culture.

[@Mike-rv4it]

Keep adding a bunch of crap to the vehicles that people don't want. Then double the price .

[@espkh1549]

Or let china take over

[@Kawasaki750H2stroke]

They would have to build quality reliable vehicles and that would take to much time and money. CDRJ is done.

[@charlesrogers8420]

European executives 😂

[@vhc7764]

Low sales numbers to some extent must also be attributed to dealership mark-ups.

[@gordoncook7613]

And the service at the dealership is shady and way overpriced and like to add a ton of issues that don’t exist to clueless customers!!!

[@Kawasaki750H2stroke]

100% correct. Greedy dealerships are playing a huge role in CDJR downfall. Let them go under. No bailouts.

[@tazzel2699]

Problem is very easy to solve. Cut MSRP by 38%, offer 10 year warranty on the junk they build, offer no more than 2.9 financing for qualified buyers

[@stolennimbus]

38% is too low. Should be at least 50% off for the junk they make.

[@JacobMasters-wn2zb]

I agree with you

[@bryantsculpting42]

ok so if they do this they still die unless they actually offer a cheap Jeep, that is simple and offers some level of reliability.

[@ruthbates9549]

Remember supply and demand? I HATE these new cars!

[@elgastsos210]

IPad consoles, electronic brakes, electronic steering, no real connections. What could possibly go wrong as your cruising down a two lane highway. Wait til these cars are 10 years old and virtually impossible to maintain every single electronic signal. We are so doomed. Might as well vote for Kamala to help get it over with😂😂😂

[@Ozzy4555]

I'll pay 100k for a Truck but it better have minimum 200k mile warranty.

[@Ned-r4t]

That's not enough I had 260,000 miles on a 2004 Chevy Cavileer only regular maintenance and normal upkeep. Did a head gasket and recharged the A/C one time.

[@jeffreylinden2690]

For example, why not bring the Fiat Fullback to the U.S. market? I'm afraid if they do they'll price it on par with their full size trucks.

[@Kawasaki750H2stroke]

I wont. Sitting in a deanships service department is not what I want to do.

[@screwyous4449]

Jeep made the mistake of thinking they were a luxury brand in a Joe Biden Economy LOL. Put a fork in them; they're done lol.

[@t3chninja_official]

This has nothing to do with Joe Biden. Not everything is politically driven. This video is about all the Stellantis brands. FFS

[@jeffreylinden2690]

You're exactly right but look who the U.A.W is endorsing. Horse-face Harris. I hope all of those U.A.W members are happy working in their new service jobs.

[@Ohnjay288]

Thanks but no thanks, I’ll just hang onto my ‘17 Ram Sport “with a HEMI”.

[@jerrykurl69]

Their vehicles are overpriced garbage cans anyways. Go outta business, sooner the better.

[@terrirodgers340]

Of course . It’s not just dodge. It’s bad all over just look at the crap all the auto companies are making junk overpriced engines breaking down bad parts treat customers like trash .Cars are over priced made with only the consumer getting ripped off stop buying people and force them to get real.

[@roddycreswell8613]

Imagine that. Doing away with the v8 in favor of a straight 6 you can't check the oil on and a so called muscle car with fake exhaust sound 😅😂🤣. What did they expect? Stupid is as stupid does.

[@rockytop4]

Make junk... time to weld the doors shut

[@Gerry-K]

The worst decision the CEO of Stellantis made is to take away the buyers choice of engines. They force buyers into buying the 6 cylinder TT without giving them a choice. They should have kept the 5.7 & 6.4 on the option list for the 1500 & 2500 series. Not too mention, most buyers can't afford a 100k+ truck. FCOL I was looking at a 2024 regular cab 1500 tradesman 4x4 with the 5.7 and the dealer wanted 56k for it!

[@norain31]

To work on new vehicles i needed a 800.00 scanner and wire tracer and many hrs of figuring out codes and fixes .getting so complex dealers cant fix thier own vehicle's . i just did top end gmc and delete the fuel management which is taking out lifters push rods and cams .you gonna pay a dealer 6000.00 to get a exstra 2 miles per gallon on repairs . I did the repair for 500.00 but a dealer would have charged 6000.00 who can pay to fix thier veihica's .

[@Samir-m9x]

RIP thanks china!

[@espkh1549]

Why?

[@bruceblumhagen2878]

Ugh...had to quit watching when the voice over kept saying wait engines instead of v8 engines....awful.

[@bradrobinhancock8491]

AI drivel. Even if you had only a passing knowledge of vehicle construction, you'd be able to fix that error. Obviously, no industry expertise here.

[@tombob671]

Keys to success for Stellantis ( sarcastic) 1. Lower quality 2. Put Fiat stuff and badge it as Jeep 3. Put Fiat diesels in Ram 4. Inflate your prices to gouging level 5. Overproduce , have 300 days supply in the pipeline 6. Abandon your pirates aka dealers 7. Fail to fix things like oiling problems in the hemi, electrical issues and weak transmissions To summarize Poor engineering. Poor build quality. Bad dealers. Overproduce. Over priced. Treat your customers poorly..... Wow you have really screwed the pooch 🐶 🐕

[@rickyenglish1391]

Jeep should be their own company, independent,and should go back to the roots of jeep,and put on options as buyers request,at a very great quality control, repair and replace parts for the buyers in the jeep market,, nobody is going to buy a 80K jeep!, that's a jeep owners opinion,Go JEEP!!!.

[@greganderson1989]

Over priced on MSRP and crazy ADM will be the death of the brand for sure.

[@deanblanton-fh3gq]

You folks that are in the business of manufacturing and sales fully understand the problems are over paid management over priced cheaply built vehicles that seem to be pledged with a multitude of serious problems. The recall is discussing plus a shortage of parts to fix the issues that should have never left the manufacturers. The ridiculous amount of internal problems in many of the manufacturers. Next the manufacturer builds vehicles that nobody wants to be stuck with for 3-4 years of high interest and again over priced junk. We the buyers are fed up with your childish games. You can keep your crap vehicles and all the problems that seem to be built in them on purpose.

[@richt6353]

Over Priced Vehicles, nobody can afford!!!

[@fgeiger41]

The 300 was discontinued almost a year ago.

[@rogerrussell9544]

The 300 was a near luxury sedan. Comfort and effortless driving. Why did they decide it needed huge ugly alloy wheels and a loud exhaust system like a muscle car? They killed it by forgetting what it was. Typical european arrogance.

[@rperkins637]

The dealers sucked right in, no excuses for price gouging the public! The dealers should have put their feet down. All B.S. you will ALL now go down! You should not have Fk,,,,d the public!

[@timbeatty11]

We need to get rid of all the laws and regulations that raise the price. Get rid of most EPA rules. Get rid or the dealership required laws. Lower the prices to under $20K out the door on entry level jeeps and trucks. Lowe car prices on at least 1 model to $15K out the door on a car.

[@Hope4all2]

That is not the solution. The sector is changing and, once again, the auto industry lives in the past.

[@SomoneTookMyName]

EPA just needs to go. They cause more harm then good.

[@huntertracker482]

How about? Fire that CEO and demand that money back. Because he did just the opposite of his job. Committing corporate sabotage. Forcing the workers to overbuild vehicles and not dropping the prices. And cutting jobs having those components added onto others over cycling the jobs forcing through the vehicles sabotaging quality and eliminating quality inspection jobs. Taking away quality bonuses thereby giving no incentive to the workers to even care about quality. And completely cutting overtime to the workers who actually buy the products that they cannot afford to buy what they build now. He made it quantity over quality. Which is death to any product. It's simple. 1 Drop the prices. 2 . CEOs take a pay cut for once. Trust me they can afford it.. 3 Stop asking the workers to sacrifice and embrace poverty "Sergio" when it's all they ever do while busting their asses. And not get paid back. 4 make quality before quantity. 5 bring back WCM.

[@damonbehnke5817]

I think they all have it wrong To much tech that breaks and is making the cars over priced and not enough useful performance we want go anywhere do anything trucks

[@Kittynuckles]

With the telluride and palisade costing about 5k less yeah they have competition

[@user-ho5vz5tg3r]

Dodge ~ to avoid.

[@Lefishn]

Dodge only makes 2 models of vehicles the Durango and the Hornet

[@georgedesjardins6080]

Thanks to the EPA over reach and idiotic government mandates that led to price gouging the big three purveyors of freedom are tanking. Bring back a V8, tuned port injected, 4 or 6 speed manual, am/fm CD player live rear axle with drum breaks, 2 wheel with front suspension to reflect or four wheel built tough, cars with a real engine that comes with pit tools and you may have a chance

[@bobmudloff4585]

Now that's well said.

[@daleandrew3292]

A CD player? I’ll take a modern car any day of the week over what you describe. Remember what happened to the dinosaurs…

[@DanGilliland-pi4vh]

That is well said and another way to say it is it's not broke don't fix it. Go back to building simple quality and affordable vehicles.

[@georgedesjardins6080]

@@daleandrew3292 each to their own but never in history have their been so many engine replacements, transmission replacements, epa mandated failures, failed gimmicks, unaffordable entries, low resale after warranty, EV fires, worthless EVs after 3 years….just saying, let’s take a step back but not reintroduce the 40’s. It would also be nice to bring production back home as a whole.

[@CurtisBuchanan-o3d]

If you want to see the trouble, look no further than the Jeep Wrangler. I paid $45K in 2018 for a JL. The exact vehicle with no changes (other than cosmetic) is now $62K. No, thank you, and could someone please tell them to please fix the dealth wobble? It drives and shakes like an original Model T. I will shortly move to another brand. Start innovating rather than just milking your valuable brands!

[@richki.24]

My stupid co-worker about 3 years ago bought a Jeep Wrangler 4xe for $82k .... it's been in the shop at least once a year for 2 week stints ..

[@gordie2377]

I just bought a new 2024 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Unlimited this past August, w/the 6-speed manual transmission, and the 3.6L V6 engine. I went and checked on any Recalls, and there were none. With a Window Sticker Price of $59K, I was able to get it for around $50K. With just 1500 miles on it, it's now sitting at the dealer waiting for a new replacement transmission. One of the synchro's failed. At the moment, they haven't a clue of just when that will happen, but I've got a free loaner in the meantime. There's now talk of another Recall for the '24 Jeep's Dash Displays come October.

[@seikocitizenwatches]

No one in the right mind would buy anything under Stellantis brand. These vehicles are almost like vehicles produced by Marxist Communist Eastern European Countries belonged to the Soviet Union before 1989 (Berlin walls). Americans don’t buy automobiles made by Socialist countries. Western Europe is heading to become Socialist progressive democrats if they not have already are. Unlike Capitalism workers take pride in quality and receive rewards financially in return. Socialist workers perform their job because they have to and whether they put their souls into or they don’t care about quality, the pay is the same and stagnant. Capitalist assembly worker can buy a brand new state-of-the-art automobile with 6 months of wages. Communist Socialist assembly worker needs 12-15 years of wages to buy a bare bone Econobox subcompact little tiny tin box on wheels. That’s the difference between CAPITALISM and SOCIALISM

Their cars, SUVs and Trucks are having major issues like oil cooler fires and catastrophic engine failures. There's police departments who have Dodge Durangos which are just a few years old and they are getting rid of the whole fleet because the vehicles are so badly made. The company is ignoring their requests for a solution. If you need the police for a emergency and they are driving a Dodge, there's a chance the vehicle will break down in a life or death situation. Avoid Stellantis Automobile company

[@wdxwm300]

[@jamesmyers9285]

Tavares needs to go, NOW! Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep/RAM needs to come back to America, or at least be separated from the Europeans and given their own CEO. The company really needs a Management Group that will "love" the products and bring them back to their Iconic Glory. I drove my neighbor's new RAM with the Hurricane in-line six turbo, and it is a powerhouse. The interior is magnificent and quieter than their 2023 Lexus RX350. I did not see one thing to complain about regarding build quality, and paint.

[@jonhardin6726]

[@magnusatheos7301]

Chrysler has got to be the most jerked over company in history. It got sold to the Krauts who just took what they wanted from it and then sold it to the Wops who used it to sell their Fiat junk, who sold it to Stelantis which is what....exactly? Sad considering Chrysler is one of the most inovative companys out there. As for price, every single automaker is overpricing their vehicles.

[@devinwilliford9443]

This is what happens when you run your cash cow company from overseas. While Sergio ran the company from Auburn Hills, Carlos tries to run it from France and not letting the U.S. division run itself from the U.S. Our vehicle lineup is very disconnected from the industry especially with the V8 engines. While Ford and GM just recently introduced new V8 engines we over a overpowered 6 cylinder to replace ours.... horrible move. Carlos has gotta go and now!!

[@merlingriffin3861]

Start with firing the CEO, I think they are already positioned to spin off the Ram truck brand to at least a semi independent company. The fed has already lowered a key interest rate a half a point and signaling that further reductions may happen soon. That will help in a number of areas. Possibly look at Chapter 11 bankruptcy, in order to renegotiate the union contracts. Although consumers need relief in other areas, when you go to the grocery store and spend $50 on a small bag of stuff, and that's at Walmart. Even with insurance, prescription drugs can seriously set you back. It just doesn't leave much disposable income. I looked at cars, saw the prices of the new ones, shook my head and said I don't think so, and bought a used one, that I could pay cash for.

God damn if people only knew. You're only seeing the surface issues, but FCA was fucked the second Sergio Marchionne died.

[@Mahdah1955]

No one gives a fiddlers fk about the shareholders...look after the product, look after the customer, do it right and the rest takes care of itself.

[@johnnycash5858]

Sales have cratered because prices on new vehicles have become ri-goddamned-diculous. 60k for a mid level XLT trim at 8.9%? GFYS. It’s the same or worse at Dodge and Chevy, and buyers are done. It’s going to take a huge “employee pricing” sale a la 2005 to clear dealer lots, and that’s all there is to it.

[@gryphus64]

Jeep, Dodge, Chrysler all have a reputation for unreliability and poor service response. They need to reduce the numbers of models. Use the same engines and drive trains. We had a Jeep Grand Cherokee in the mid 80's..............we loved that car! A real 4WD with power and reliability! Dodge and Chrysler should do a deal with Musk and place tesla hybrids in their cars, and make the rest of them the body and suspension world class. Ram also make great larger utes / trucks. They need an alliance with other manufacturers which should include efficient Engines, hybrids and perhaps hydrogen from Toyota? They obviously do not currently have the dollars to reinvest in new engines so in 2024 you must make a deal with those that have. An alliance with Tesla, Toyota, Mazda etc. Perhaps Ford which has similar issues could produce cars from a similar production line. They should be thinking out of the box for survival. No more sh$t quality cars.

[@paulhasty8388]

The problem's start at the top of the management ! So tell me HOW IN THE HELL is Carlos worth $40,000,000 a year when he make's some of the dumbest decission's ???????????????????

[@rickn501s]

The higher Stellantis prices their vehicles, the fewer they'll sell! That's just the way it works. Too much expensive technology that's unnecessary and which few people want or need. It's not brain surgery, so why can't overpaid executives figure it out? A Jeep Wrangler for $51,000 (after all the unneeded add-on's and other costs) is absolutely insane! Good-bye Stellantis, you really did this to yourself!

[@highrzr]

This is all self inflicted. It takes a special kind of stupid to do what Stellantis has done to itself. They jacked up the MSRPs 30%, and wonder why their vehicles aren't selling. The modern crop of small displacement turbo engines are junk. They're trying to pull a six horse wagon with one horse on steroids and wonder why the engines have problems. No bailouts for the automakers.

[@leonardoatx3]

Can I order with stelantis a Jeep wrangler with a reliable 90’s Toyota engine …? Please … It’s all I want .. or just bring back the AMC 4.0L inline 6 cylinder. THANK YOU!

[@TheRealCheckmate]

I rarely even drive anymore, and I wonder if I'm the only one. I can get almost anything I need delivered to my door by Amazon, and usually the next day. As far as new car sales go, they've just become too damned expensive and complicated, with computers controlling everything, and the electrical systems are a nightmare. A quick example: I have a 2015 Ford Transit with only 26K miles on it. Rodents got under the hood, made a nest, and chewed up the wiring going to the knock sensors. You have to take the top half of the engine off to replace them. The cost? $3,000! It ran fine without them, but they caused the check engine light to come on, so I couldn't get it smogged, which meant I couldn't get it registered. That's not the end of it though. Once I got it fixed, I _still_ couldn't get it smogged because the ECU has to "test" everything, and that takes a lot of driving... over 200 miles so far, and it's _still_ not saying I can get the smog test yet. This, IMO, is one of the reasons people don't want to spend over sixty grand for a new car, and then untold thousands more, just to keep it running. The smartest, most practical thing people can do is rediscover older, well-maintained classics. Plus, most of us older shadetree mechanics have no problem keeping them running.

You can’t sell of JEEP to a European company and expect to maintain the American Style and what was the perfect engine for all JEEPs, the Straight 6 - 4.0L engine. Especially after the French company bought out JEEP they completely destroyed what made a JEEP a JEEP with useless electronics and smaller engines model after model. I had the 1999 Jeep Wrangler Sahara and it was absolutely perfect. With easy to replace parts and simple engine design then a German Company took over and sales sli then ma French company took over and took everything that is JEEP and made it for some 16 year old rich girl that the parents just buy her whatever as long as they never bothers them….

Eliminating classic, Hemi, 3L Diesel V6 was really stupid. New Hurricane is fine but should have offered as an option. I purchased my 2022 Laramie, black addition, equipment level 3 equipment group in the middle of the pandemic. They claimed they did not have the chips for some option, but the problem is they did not build the vehicle that you could add the chip when it became available. For example I really like lane change assist specially being 75. My truck has 7000 mile if I need to add the option I would need to add sensors, change mirrors, wiring and other stuff. They are all parts that were available to build it with option of adding a chip later. I consider this penny pinching not caring for the customer that dishes out 70k for a truck.

With the Jeeps, they're going all electric when it comes to windows, locks, and seats. More failure points instead simply manual ones. The more bells and whistles you add, not only do the costs go up, but so do the added failure points. Then next year they intend to replace the 3.6L V6 w/their new Hurricane I6 engine. There's sure to be issues w/it, it's almost a 100% guarantee.

Why are companies suicidal??? Wokeness, overpriced/overoptioned/unreliable/etc. But upper management of these companies are laughing all the way to the bank. But even with their failures and dismissal, they still don't care as their golden parachutes carry the day. What could possibly go wrong???

As an Executive in Retail Automotive Dealerships and as a District Sales Manager at the Manufactures level for over forty years, I feel thier pain. These Sellantis people are of the old school , hiring fresh College Grads to work with thier Dealer network. Instead they need to hire people who have actually supported thier familys by selling Cars in a Retail Setting.. Put them into the Retail Dealerships to actually help the Dealership personnel to move the Inventory out the Front Door instead of only being concerned about loading up the dealer with Inventory through the back Door. Remember the Manufacture gets paid as soon as the Vehicles enter Dealer Inventory. Not when the Vehicle is Retailed. Get Back to basics! Get Back to ideas that have worked in the past. Go with Expirience instead of Woke Leadership.

How can people purchase vehicles if the prices are too outrageous, and potential buyers are not earning money for homes, food, clothing?

The tests I have seen on the new Rams show they are getting worse mpg while having to run 93 octane,I personally don’t care for turbocharged engines too many problems

[@KennyBrame]

We are sick of paying for it, better cars out there than there breakdown bunch. (90,000 dollars in, and 5 years later 10,000 out. You still owe 35 to 40 + that's thousand. Wake up.

[@Truepatriot81]

They don’t offer any incentives as in rebates or interest rates.they need to back to the basics build a work truck without all the extra electronics that a lot of the dealerships mechanics don’t know how to fix.The grand wagoner $120,000 comes equipped with 360 surround cameras with night vision, no one needs this kind of crap and who can afford this.

[@viclee8407]

They all have quality issues and are not reliable at all. Its like buying an expensive book for the beautiful cover. I tell all my customers to stay clear from buying them. Another way to treat auto mechanics with respect instead of creating a nightmare to repair them.

[@t3chninja_official]

They've raised the prices of all their vehicles and no one can afford to hardly purchase them new. You have to lease one and even those prices are nuts. I've been saying for the last 10 years they have out priced what's left of the middle class budgets. I do see tons of new Jeeps on the road but not many Dodge or Chrysler vehicles. I just purchased a used 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee and felt I paid too much for used. I'm paying almost twice what I paid for my last used vehicle purchase. Bring the prices down and consumers will return.

[@douglaskerr6813]

With the state of these cars and trucks 70,000 to 130,000 for a truck and a grand wagoner are you kidding and let's face it they don't have the best track record for service .Yesterday there was a report that a police 6 of the dodge patrol vehicles were out of service because of Engine problems and dodge wouldn't do anything for them So apparently they don't want to stand behind their products And you expect folks to spend what money they have and financing the rest for a turd I was thinking could this be a way for stellantis to bankrupt Chrysler and Jeep brands and bring in there European models That way they would have to build factories they already would have a dealer network in place all they would have to do is ship every thing here and build them here to get around the tariffs and taxes it's just a thought the reason they have already said something about opening a plant in Mexico and just the other day they were talking about shipping the dodge rampage to Canada because of Labor cost

[@crticalthinking]

I know I want to spend 70 thousand dollars on a 10 thousand dollar jeep. Or maybe I should pay 120 thousand for a 15 thousand dollar pickup. I think that's a great idea. Oh and I've also lost my mind.
