Dodge Chargers Now Have Pop-Up Ads at Every Stoplight

SMRTR summary

Dodge Charger owners are experiencing unwanted pop-up ads on their infotainment screens at stoplights. These ads, promoting Mopar Extended Warranty, are part of a SiriusXM feature included in new and certified pre-owned Dodge vehicles. This move follows a similar attempt with Jeeps and comes as Dodge faces a 29% sales drop in 2024. The ads are frustrating drivers by blocking navigation and music controls, leading to widespread criticism on social media.
