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.

Welp. Never buying a new Dodge vehicle or from a Dodge lot.

0 tolerance for this.

BMW, Mercedes, Tesla, Toyota, Jeep, Dodge have all tried to add subscriptions to their vehicles basic functions or otherwise monetize owned property.

Hit their mommies and daddies, while Im at it.

BMW Group: BMW, Mini, Rolls-Royce

Mercedes-Benz Group: Mercedes-Benz, Smart

Tesla, Inc.: Tesla

Toyota Motor Corporation: Toyota, Lexus, Daihatsu, Hino

Stellantis (Owner of Jeep & Dodge): Jeep, Dodge, Chrysler, Ram, Alfa Romeo, Fiat, Lancia, Maserati, Opel, Peugeot, Citroën, Vauxhall.

I'd quit my job and start running the campaign for anyone who's willing to run on outlawing this shit. I'd work 75 hour weeks handing out fliers about distracted driving.

Tfw your car is trying to reach you about its own extended warranty

I never thought I would say this, but thank god there are a bunch of car hobbiest in my area.

If this type of invasive shit becomes mainstream, I at least know that the auto community around me will be able to fix anything that gets put into my travel device.

Yet another car I’ll never buy.

Just make a list of advertisers who actually advertise in these, and actively avoid & shame them. It is fair that they try new things out, but the problem is, when the consumers accept them.

So... um... will the buyer get money from Dodge to drive this shit then?

nobody deserves it more than dodge charger owners

Mmmm, delicious unbridled capitalism.

I sometimes wonder if my current car will be my last new car. My car has some tracking that I can supposedly disable, so I understand the appeal of classic cars more. I might have to pick up a mint condition early 2000s car for my midlife crisis.

If you've bought any Stellantis Fiat Chrysler Dodge Jeep etc. product in the last 20 years then you deserve this. Absolute junk.

I would take that car back immediately. Fuck that.

Probably for bail bondsmen

I just want a car that drives and doesn't collect any tiny bit of data about me

That’s one way to increase running red lights.

Like that sounds like it should be banned by the ntsb or dot… oh wait they don’t exist anymore, or soon to be cut.
