New Jeeps are coming with ads that take over the infotainment screen whenever the Jeep stops, and you can't disable it! Enjoy!


(It's a Jeep thing!)

Does that take over for the check engine light that's permanent on all jeeps.

Stellantis is a trash company.

Jeep is saying it is a glitch, I wonder if that is true.

The article says it's SirusXM's fault so I'd pull that fuse asap

No it says it's part of a contractual agreement with Sirius and the Jeep rep suggested "just push the X". Jeep obviously knew this was going to happen. I can't recall if it was this article or another that had it, but the ads are for an extended warranty, so again, jeep is in on it.

I came here to post this thread and wish that it had a better title so it could get the outrage it so rightly deserves. This is infuriating. I'm sure they buried this bs somewhere deep in the T&C that you have to click through which is also absurd. If you told all these owners before purchase they would get ads like this, I'm fairly certain a significant portion of buyers would have walked away because our cars aren't billboards.


this is probably the best example of "Ted kazynski was right" that I have ever seen.

Sounds like a safety concern. You're introducing another unnecessary distraction to the driver

Hell no. I just know where this road leads to.

I would've figured it'd be adds for rubber duckies on amazon.

Two questions:
1 - Can you buy the ad space in your own car?
2 - More importantly, could you buy the ad space in another specific car? Like a close friend who you could send annoying messages to every time they stop moving?

Stalkers could take this to the next level.

I have a 2017 JGC Overland 4x4 that's been everywhere/done nearly everything and is the best darn vehicle I have ever owned. But I will never purchase a new Jeep again. Stellantis has destroyed pretty much everything I found important in a Jeep. I really wanted an L but they neutered them so badly it's just geared to be a much more disposable pavement princess vehicle now.
