DODGE / STELLANTIS REFUSE TO ADMIT THEY SCREWED UP! 

Corporate speak for 1. We care not about the customers. 2. We care not about the employees. 3. Shareholder profit and political pandering is our focus.

Stellantis is the nail in the coffin for Dodge...

As a gm/chevy guy, dodge was like that cooler brother you looked up to. Then all of a sudden one day he stops smoking and drinking, he trades in his muscle car for a Prius, and then subsequently comes out as gay.

FCA was the last time a Dodge was built. Stellantis isn't a car company, it's an accounting firm.

Replacement batteries cost more than the vehicle is worth.

if they move jobs out of your country don't buy the cars

This is their own fault. They bought a company that built it’s American brands with an image of being a working class, traditional American car manufacturer. Whether it’s the muscle car image of Dodge, the ruggedness of Ram or the adventuring spirit of Jeep. They came in and decided that they would simply take what works in Europe and turn the American portion of the company into a European car company with a European line up. They essentially abandoned their core customer base across the board. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

They are worried more about their Fake ESG score. That's all it is. They are Fools. Its weird how companies nowdays are acting hostile against their customers, their bread & butter.. Very odd!

Dodge is going to end up like Oldsmobile and pontiac.

Just let this company pass into the history books. They had a nice run with the muscle cars selling yesterday's technology at tomorrow's prices. The tank is empty. None of their other cars are even remotely competitive unless theyre dirt cheap.

Even Hyundai Motor Group is resuming ICE engine development. Come on Dodge/Stellantis, how is Biden catching on faster than you are??? don't go out like this, its embarrassing.

How about not jacking MSRP prices up on JEEP 45%

They moved up market for Jeep and it was a disaster

So sad Stellantis/Dodge has lost their way.

I like the Challenger and Charger, but I could see this coming years ago. These are basically 20yr old Daimler platforms that Stellantis is charging six figures for, the bubble had to burst eventually.

I'm also ashamed to drive a chevy because of their asinine corporate decisions

It is like an Ayan Rand novel. The creative, productive employees are let go. They are going to make unreliable cars that their customer's don't want and are too expensive to maintain. On top of that, Stellantis is re-releasing the Fiat 500 in the USA since it is according to them "iconic." I think most Americans would agree that it is iconically ugly.

Congratulations Dodge. You managed to build a fake electric so called muscle car that makes fake noises and an overpriced crossover that few want. Not to mention ruining the iconic Six Pack and GLH badging. Way to go.👍

I as a life long Chrysler & Mopar fan who owned two 1970 Challengers & two 1969 Chargers, along with several more classics & the 80's Turbo cars & lately a 2014 Challenger & a new 2021 Ram Limited. I have been so disenchanted & disgusted with the new direction of the company that I just sold my flawless low mile Challenger & last Saturday my loaded Ram Limited. I'm done.

The price is just too high on Challengers now, plus dealers are just being assholes with markups and bait and switch. Remember when Chrysler/Dodge put out affordable small cars? Right now they need less high price trucks and more small cars. There still is room for performance cars, but back in the first muscle car era they were affordable cars. And NOT the Hornet. 👎🏻 Yes, I don’t doubt they moved the jobs out of the country. Not because the company is broke, but to increase upper management bonuses. EV’s are just virtual signaling.

And coming from a GM guy. I feel like they are ending the muscle car wars. I mean it's hard to explain what I'm trying to say. I love muscle cars from all American Brands!!!

Sadly the dodge muscle car era seems over. They will sell an initial rush of some EV’s but it will drop like a boat anchor.⚓️ The entire North American continent needs to be re educated on what the government wants us to drive. That should only take 100 years.

As a owner of a Dodge vehicle, I feel this company is grossly mismanaged. It's products are way overpriced and they are pushing buyers away to competitors. Take Jeep Wrangler as example, facing competition from Ford Bronco, yet they still keep their prices ridiculously high.

I parted company with the entire Dodge culture a few years ago. From the executives, to misleading marketing, corrupt dealers, poor quality, and down to the theft & thuggery in the streets, good riddance. I saw this coming. I’m professional, can drive the “big” names, yet supported and advocated for Dodge, owning 2 Hellcats for years. Then, things changed, I got rid of them & haven’t looked back. I was so embarrassed by what Dodge has become.

I remember the NYC Auto Show in 2015 when the update took place. It was AMAZING the set up they had, the energy, the excitement I looked over my photos just yesterday. 🚙 My local dealer has 3 2022 Dodge Challenger Scat Packs STILL for sale!!! Original 53k, they brought down to just 50k, come on….

Its like the auto industry is being sold out.

No Hemi, No Buy!

This is just another unfortunate example of how global corporate interests override the desires of the general population.

Bean counters never make good cars.

I understand that many of the workers in the group of 400 were software engineers. It is my opinion that Chrysler has enjoyed a software advantage over the other big two for the better part of a decade. Therefore I suspect they think they can just put software on autopilot for a couple years and still maintain their lead. However, anyone who thinks that is a moron.

Dealership lots filled with vehicles nobody wants will be a tough reality pill for all the automakers. See what happens when Government starts forcing crap on people? They end up with a 100% waste product. That's what happens.

When they came out with the Hornet, I knew then Dodge was done. Ive never seen anyone buy that car.

EV’s are a flash in the pan. They won’t last long. 😂😂😂😂

Those Gold School rims and that silver shaker are way too cool

I'm figuring what this means is that Stellantis is planning to switch to all rebadged import cars that Americans already don't want. If they get rid of American engineers that have an idea of what they Americans want they won't have anything Americans want.

Come on over to the Blue Oval. I stone cold love my “Everyday Super Car” - 2018 Mustang GT. 5+ years and 65,000 miles of great driving pleasure. I get a big happy grin every time I push the start button. In another year or two I’ll likely move on to the next generation Mustang. Stellantis is not a company interested in building cars for enthusiasts. Happy motoring 🇺🇸🤠

Electric cars: A plan that doesn't work to fix a problem that doesn't exist!

What a nightmare…I mean, this is just a bad dream, right?! Owning ICE vehicles is the smart play for the next 10 years.

Well, overprice your inventory and this is what you get. If you’ve owned extreme power, it makes it really easy to ignore these clowns.

A Turd in the punch bowl .. killed me ☠️😂😂

Pretty soon the package will say batteries not included 😂

Yesterday I made an offer on a 70 thousand dollar SuperBee. I offered him 58,000. It’s been sitting there for over a year now. He begged me to make him an offer. Then he goes I could give it to you for retail and I said, whats retail? He says 69,000.. Ahahahah ahahahahaa ahahahahaha….

Again, you’re 100% correct! You nail it every time you make a video!

The government set emissions mandates that cannot be met unless EV's are a majority of vehicles sold....and corporate doesn't have the guts to tell them to go pound sand. If you don't meet the emissions targets you get FINED...which is the whole reason behind them. They are trying to fine everyone into moving to the '15 minute city' like they want.

Hopefully, the real president will return to office and stop the madness.

You could NOT give me a Dodge product, nope, I have self respect.

I have owned 3 Challenger's and I still own 2 this wasn't the smartest move to discontinue the Challenger in 23

The reason they kept the number of people at 400 is because the law says if you layoff more than 500, you have to make an announcement 60 days in advance. I have a feeling there will be another round or two before this is over.

Blame the EPA, govt agencies, and politicians who force fuel and safety standards. These are the people who decide what we drive.

The definition of Insanity is Doing the same thing over and over again hoping for a different outcome. Stellantis is trying to destroy itself and if they have to go down they want to take everyone down with them!!!

The worst part was during their electric challenger commercial they claimed they weren’t complying with the government. Lmao. That’s exactly what they’re doing

Corporate non accountability means never having to say you're sorry.

The writing has been on the wall for about 15 years. DC is destroying the US auto industry. I spent 1997-2021 in the auto business, on a retailer level. I've repeatedly watched manufacturers put their dealers in no-win after no-win situation. The breaking point for me was (then) FCA jamming Pacifica plug-in hybrid EV's (f'n electric minivans), with MSRP's way above the market (then $50's-$60's) with only $50-$165 in total retail margin for the sales department to work with. That isn't a typo. When no dealer ordered any (why would they?), FCA started tying monthly bonus tiers and the future allocation of the more desirable RAM models to Pacifica sales. They aren't alone. Nissan is famous for this same BS. The public complains about the retailer experience (many times justifiedly) but make no mistake, behind every awful dealership experience is a manufacturer pulling the puppet strings that spell certain destruction of the brand. RAM and Jeep will get parted out to the highest bidder at some point. Chrysler is done, Dodge isn't far behind. GROSS

If the company could come out with a basic car, manual windows, manual locks, with all the technical flat screen electronics taken out and basic A/C and basic radio, with a great V-8 that gets great fuel mileage, for an affordable price under $25k, they could get back to normal.. I know I would buy one. I hate all these new 'tech vehicles'

I have three Demons(2 OG’s&one 170), TRX and four old school Mopars. This past year with all the fiascos with the 170 and the bad behavior from dealerships with Dodge’s approval coupled with the EV’s has left a bad stench on a brand that I have loved my entire life. I’m a third generation Mopar guy with two generations underneath me that’s a fan for a total of five generations of Mopar loyalty. As a family we are walking away from this brand. I can’t really enjoy or celebrate this 170. I feel embarrassed to own it knowing many of my fellow Mopar brothers were screwed out of owning one. I’ve never liked Ford but it looks that’s the direction my family will be heading. Thank you OC for always being a straight shooter and not being afraid to give us the real facts.

If Anhauser Busch were an auto manufacturer.

My family grew up on Chrysler/Dodge. My dad's car was a '66 Windsor, I raised my family with a grand Caravan, we vacation with our Ram 1500, my classic was my great aunt's '68 Newport Custom 2dr. As our fleet ages out, we are now shopping for a Toyota. Not one damn reason to go back.

Chryslers claim to fame was that they could undercut Ford and GM prices for a similarly equipped vehicle back in the day. They were the regular guys budget option and offered value. I have no idea what the current mission is. Mismanaged from overseas seems to have been the slogan for many years now.

No need to sell your Challenger, enjoy it and keep it a long time.

I'm sorry to hear about your experience. Unfortunately, this is as old as Detroit. And, these outmoded practices are why the Big 3 are in so much decline.

Dealerships have been trying to sell Jeeps for over $100K. Getting their just desserts. Crap cars anyway.

Hopefully, I’ll be able to get my hands on some good parts for my scat pack. Not getting rid of my car…NO WAY! It’s unfortunate that they can’t own up to their mistakes and pass their misgivings into the employees. Sad

Now would be a great time for GM to bring back the Camaro for 2025.

Had my 2020 Pacifica S in for service recently and was eyeing a 300C in the showroom.62k msrp and for sale at 59k. I told the salesman cut a better deal and I’d be interested.He says this is the last call and only one allocated to each dealership. I told him I was the only customer in the showroom and the service department at 10am.Keep this up and it will be the last call for your dealership.By the way I love your sportscoat.Mike the Greek

Sometimes, I feel the same way about owning my Challenger. The way they conduct themselves and run their business is embarrassing. It makes me not want anything to do with them.

You can thank the powers that be for pushing regulations and laws to convert EVERYTHING to electric. EPA new regulations were just recently released. Why do you think all cars now have smaller turbo engines…regime change is needed

I am glad you pointed out this is not totally the government. The auto manufacturers were pushing us into this, and CDJR may be the worst offender.

BRAVO! Call them out and read Dodge the RIOT ACT.

Keep preaching the truth man!❤

Markups are frauds. It should be against the law it's a scam. Never pay the above sticker for any car, no matter how bad you want it.

In the early 80s, i serviced equipment in the world headquarters. After observing how the company was ran, vowed to never buy their products.

As dissapointed as I am with Dodge, I just bought a brand new scat pack challenger only because the hemi is going away. I always wanted a challenger so I thought while I could get one I better. In my area the wide body challenger is almost impossible to find. I had to buy a non wide body because there are none available anywhere around me.. I know for myself and talking to people , people are buying them up because the hemi is gone and like myself and so many we are all very dissapointed with this electric charger coming up! Im very happy with my purchase and actually saved almost 9 grand off sticker! I trully hope Dodge gets it together because as a mopar guy its so heartbreaking to see where things are going....

FJB FJB and his Democrat Administration and these EV'S too 💪💪💪💪💪

The fact you show the swinger more the "Flagship" Demon 170 speaks volumes

All car sales are down. HELLO! Nobody wants 9% on an auto loan.

Tim Kuniskis the CEO of Dodge ran this company completely into the ground. Instead of expanding the brand he catered the brand specifically to one consumer base. It was the most idiotic decision I ever seen!!! He got caught up with the Hellcat wave and completely cut off every consumer base outside of big performance V8s. That was the dumbest thing he could do why would you cut off gas commuter cars, mid size pickups trucks and utility vans? Tim that doesn’t makes no sense you just limited your entire consumer base why would you do that Tim why? Then you never innovated the V8 or your V6 and just come out of nowhere with this Hornet garbage that is a rebadged Alfa Romeo Tonale at the last minute. Then this Hurricane engine which is as heavy as your V8 why would you come out with that engine extremely late. You could’ve replaced the pentastar V6 in 2018-2019 with that Hurricane inline engine. Then lastly you never made the cars lighter fast forward you’ve made the car twice as heavy as everything on the market! It’s documented that Tim felt as though he should scrap the entire lineup he made of lighter chargers and challengers. He had the cars built and showed the car to multiple car dealers already. The car was built on the Alfa Romeo Giulia platform and so a 3,800-3,900lbs performance V8. So even with what’s going on right now with them going out of business. We would’ve had 3yrs of production of lighter chargers and challengers.

I have been saying all along that Stellantis has been sabotaging the CDJR brands since their 2021 PSA merger with FCA. Stellantis has other brands and they are going to try and push, over what the American enthusiast have loved for so many years, which is the muscle car and everyday commuters that are ICE not electric. The hybrid version are an option that some may actually go for that will not have anything to do with full EV. Just look at their brands before the merger and what they offer as Stellantis now. They are French company based in Amsterdam and been very frugal on ICE vehicles for years and more on gas saving and electrification. I have been a Mopar enthusiast for my entire life but have owned many other brands throughout. I currently have a stable full of Mopar branded vehicles from older classics to new modern examples of muscle car HP. I am deeply disappointed in the direction the CDJR has went but not surprised as I was skeptic form the start of the merger. I can only hope that some day the true meaning and value of the brand returns, if not I will never buy another Mopar .

you are right nobody wants electric cars .

“Please make us an offer, but it has to be over sticker” That sums up the disgusting auto industry. It’s the dealers fault !! We as buyers take joy in seeing these crooks loose it. Hopefully they still have those cars sitting and rusting away!

What’s up OC I asked about a widebody scat at a dealer in Valencia CA. They had it listed for 59,995 I asked for an out the door price and came back with 70,000 out the door. How can I negotiate it better they’ve had it a the dealer for 134 days. At the same time I feel like I’m being ripped off by that quote .

Dodge May become the next Pontiac 😢 gone but forever remembered

LISTEN UP DODGE! This video is GOLD!!! Some other companies could learn a thing or two from this video too! Hopefully this video has a long reach!

As a fan or the Viper and Neon SRT-4, this is how I've felt for awhile...

Keep your foot on they neck O.C..👏🏽💯

I see a problem with the new inline 6 they are making. Regardless of power output, nobody wants a Dodge Challenger with a 6 cylinder. The vast majority of people wanting a challenger will only want one with a big American V8. And electric is just an unfunny joke.

Glad i bought my '18 Scat Pack when i did. i knew in the back of my mind the platform was eventually going to end up like this. All good things come to an end. It certainly did around 1973-74! i bought my Challenger having grown up in the shadow of the muscle car era. At least we got them back for a while, let's carry the torch and keep the cars of the muscle car renaissance alive. i'm not ashamed of mine!

OCMotivator Keep up the great work friend 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💪💪😃😃👍👍👍👍

Dodge better bring those Hemis back if they want to keep their W.

My very first car, in 1975, at age 16, was a 1970 Dodge Challenger. No, I wasn't rich, neither were my parents. It was not a muscle car, it was a base model, 318 two barrel, single exhaust, automatic on the column, dark green with a white vinyl top and black interior. Price was $1995. My dad traded his beat up 1963 Chevy II in on it for $500. I became the family driver. My dad passed away less than a year later. It had a bench seat with split backs and a center fold down armrest. It was not fast, but it was beautiful. Only 5 years old. My parents financed it for me, and I made all the payments. Insurance was not required in my state back then. I owned that car for 11 years. Way back in 2008 or so, I had high hopes when I heard the Challenger was coming back. But boy was I disappointed when I saw it. It bore only a vague resemblance to the 1970s models. It was short, fat, too tall and too narrow. it had a chunky look. Far from the beautiful lines of the 1970-1974 models. And the wheels were huge diameter GHETTOS with no real tires on them (my 1970 had 14" wheels and real tires with sidewalls) It was more of a caricature of a Challenger than anything else. I was disgusted by it, and certainly had no desire to own one. Then things started getting even worse. They came out with a model that had off road fender flares. I saw it as a complete joke.

Sir, You spoke from my heart. GOD BLESS all you who made the last muscle car, the challenger.

Time to call Lee Iococa back to make those Dodge K series again! 😂

RU-vid keep unsubscribing me to your channel I don't know what are they doing but I'm getting tired of it.

I can't wait till the Police Departments start using EVs. High speed chase with a hemi car and the police has to pull over to make a charge. What about NASCAR. That going to be a funny pitstops.😮

Did I miss it? Did you sell the demon 170 is it gone?

I felt the same way in 2017, bought a Ford GT350 instead of a challenger. Don’t regret it, just sell it you have other cars to enjoy. Dealerships added ADMs for three years and now customers finally understand that they have the power to walk away from overpriced vehicles!

You had pleeeenty of reasons for being embarassed to drive a Dodge waaaay before Stellantis came along! 😂

Stellantis vehicles are some of the most unreliable vehicles ever made besides the badass ones... (HEMI) They're going to go out of business fucking with this⚡⚡shit I guess they like losing 30-40 K on every sell

I had to build these cars for 5 years never hired me walked me out my plants because they couldn’t hire employees. That alone says don’t even trust them

I just canceled getting a challenger behind this, dealers already want too much but this sealed the deal. No mopar 😂

1st. My sxt got a recall
