That's reality. A reality forced upon us thanks to greedy corporations, nothing more. The uaw contract increased prices ~3% Where'd the rest go?

[@sarikagoode1505]

Aren’t the UAW folks the actual people who physically manufacture these vehicles? Perhaps they should get a bigger cut of the pie instead of the shareholders? Without them there would be no cars. Remember the workers already took massive pay cuts and lost their pensions when the auto industry collapsed last time. Industry was bailed out by the taxpayer, but the workers were never made whole.

[@guzmancharles7]

They should sell the company back to the Grandson of Chrysler founder. Maybe he can save a company that the CEO is trying to burn to the ground. Stellantis is not a luxury brand this CEO doesn’t get it.

[@danc9440]

Stellantis needs a CEO that is a work-out/turnaround expert. It will take a couple of years to plug the massive holes in the ship, in order to keep it afloat. After that- they should find a CEO that has an actual vision with a strategy for long term success, who will bring in a real management team that can rebuild the company from the ground up. Carlos Tavares has ruined the brand, at least in the US. The BOD shouldn't wait until 2026 when the contract expires. They need to act immediately. It's that bad folks............

In 2013 I bought a great 1500 RAM 1500, it was pretty much loaded and it was built like a tank (38k). No issues with the vehicle. After 11 yrs needed a new truck, so I looked at all of them, when I go to to RAM .... wow... how they cheapened the truck. So much hard plastic in the interior and WAY TOO MUCH aluminum in the body. Compared to my 2013, I could feel the body actually bounce and bob (like a fishing bobber) because the body was so lightened. Bought a new 4Runner 4x4 ($42k) and got a great deal, and it had MORE creature comforts than the 2024 Ram 1500 (64k)- so disappointed with the Stellantis. RAM 1500. And no for FORD or GM - been there, done that, and lost so much money on repairs over the life of the trucks.

I paid off my car almost a year ago. I thought about trading it in for a newer one. But when i see the prices of some of these vehicles I want no part of it. It doesn't matter if they knockoff 20%.

[@davidbrayshaw3529]

A paid for car is an asset. No, it's not a great asset, but it's an asset just the same. A car on a note is a damned liability. Month after month, more pain and more money down the drain that you're never going to see again. Save up what you would have been making in monthly payments and pay cash for your next car.

Dodge, Jeep, Ram priced themselves right out of the Market. I bought a 2021 Durango R/T for $45. Today a 2024 Durango R/T is $65K for basically the same vehicle. That is why they can't sell cars or trucks. It has nothing to do with quality, and everything to do with price.

RAM/Jeep/Chrysler has not changed the fact that they make crap products. They charged a ton of money over the recent years but still have not changed the image. Chargers belong to Cops and low credit wannabe gangbangers. Notice you never see a Charger on Brandon's lot even though he could buy one easily below 5K. Jeep Wranglers are OK but the 100K Wagoneers are just overpriced SUVs. Ram cannot find any more bros to sell their dozers.

[@waltersiwicki]

The other problem in my area of upstate N.Y is that dealers are keeping the rebates. There adds says rebates for o dealer. So if for instance. There is a 3,000 dollar rebate. Dealers are keeping them. So if sold now let see at invoice. They are making 3,000 on the car with out any markups added on

[@dupajasio4801]

Stellantis Products seem to routinely appear on lists of cars that have problems with frequentcy of repairs, customer satisfaction and other quality issues.

CEOs can see the train wreck coming from a long way off and they have the analysis telling them why. But moving from a high margin environment to a low margin environment is not a job any CEO wants to go through. I went though this in the 1980s with a company and I found another job in a high-margin area before the collapse. A real leaders comes up with a plan to reflect changes in the marketplace. Maybe that means making a lot of cheaper cars - the cars that people want. Margins are lower and they may have to live in that world for 5-10 years. This is similar to Nike where they just threw out the CEO. He had many years and Nike, instead of working on new technology and new products, just worked on better retail channels and additional colorways.
