Why? Well, probably because Dodge badly needs the money. The brand’s U.S. sales plummeted 29% in 2024

This'll help sales, I'm sure.

Hey so I'm getting this thing on my new Charger, I think it's a check engine light?

Welp every manufacturer that shows this should go down immediately upon first offense.

Not even kidding, this should be corporate suicide.

Dodge and Jeep are (well Jeep already was tbh) both firmly on the "actively speak out against" list. If I was in a place of hugely inflated power, I would dismantle the entire company, and sell it to whoever that company likes the least.

This should honestly be a brand ending scenario in less than 5 seconds after the first ad. CEO should be in the bread line TODAY from getting hit with this.

ABSOLUTE zero tolerance. There are no valid arguments against this and I will die on this hill.

Any minute now one of those brave-browser idiots will be along to tell us all how great ads are because they can make us aware of products that we had not yet discovered or remind us of products we didn't know were near by.

They're just testing to see what people are willing to accept.

Every time you see a useful idiot saying "it's not that bad" or "they're a business and they need to make money", you know who to blame for why things are the way they are.

2026 will be the year of the Linux car

Did you know John Deere tractors have a dedicated piracy scene? Because the tractors require authorized technicians to service them and doesn't allow farmers to service them themselves, spoofed firmware has appeared and is fairly frequently used to bypass this.

My point is, if you can jailbreak a tractor you can jailbreak a car. Just a matter of time.

This literally happened to Jeeps a month ago.

“It should also be noted that ads are part of your contractual agreement with SiriusXM, but we are working on the frequency,” replied a Jeep Cares representative. “Thank you for your patience.”

A Stellantis spokesperson told Fortune in a statement that “a temporary software glitch affected the ability to instantly opt out in a few isolated cases, though instant opt-out is the standard for all our in-vehicle messages. Our team had already identified and corrected the error, and we are following up directly with the customer to ensure the matter is fully resolved.”

Fool me once, Stellantis...

But I'm still not allowed to touch my cellphone while behind the wheel because the screen is too distracting, right?

Stop buying new cars until they remove this bullshit. We can go 40 years with existing cars without buying a single new one.

Starting price is now $58,000.

They ditched selling the accessible models for the luxury market and they do the most cheap and trashy thing possible.

It's incredible how stupid millionaire CEOs can be.

I’ll accept this when the car comes for free.

If someone develops an aftermarket fix to make the ads go away, now that might be a product/sertvice people will want to pay for. Look at Dodge - creating new job sectors!

Pretty much everyone asked for this with their actions and choices as consumers. Lucky us, we can still choose not to buy a Dodge Charger or a Swasticar.

This is why I'd rather rebuild my 30 year old civic's engine than buy a new car.

We dun fucked up when we made tarring and feathering CEOs illegal.

I chose the right decade to give up driving.

The worst asshat psycho drivers in my city tend to drive those things. Good schadenfreude comes from learning this news

Here's the source so you can see it for yourself. https://redlib.private.coffee/r/Charger/comments/1gq9nyf/ads_on_the_center_screen_now_thats_wild/?

They just did this with jeeps last month. Said it 2as an error

You mean the "oopsie poopsie it's just a glitch nothing to see here" thing that was happening to jeeps a little while ago?

Color me shocked

If this happened to me and assuming I had physical knobs/buttons for AC, etc, and those wouldn’t be affected, I would take a hammer to it, mount an iPad Mini or something for GPS, and just listen to music/podcasts/audiobooks on my phone via a Bluetooth speaker.

I already have bad road rage (I’m not proud of this & am actively working on it) and this would send me over the edge.

Brand new 2024 vehicle: I disabled all connectivity. No software updates, no remote start through their app, nothing; it will never connect to the internet. These greedy car and ad companies have lost the benefit of the doubt. Literally no amount of money will ever be enough for these giant corporations...

We need to tally up all the accidents and pedestrian hit-and-runs that occur involving cars with this “feature.” It would likely be enough of an increase you could reasonably make a class action lawsuit. I have no sympathy whatsoever for a car manufacturer that can’t get it through their heads that distracted driving is a major cause of accidents, and could easily happen by their own features.
