Facts. Put bring back Tim Kuniskis and make him CEO of Stellantis, the guy who made sales an all time high and not profits. Sales has plummeted but due to the layoffs and the 30-50% price increase they made all time profits. It shows where a company is when they car more about how much they made rather than how much they sold
U can't just bring back a ceo and expect the auto industry to change. Everyone knows, that knows, the industry is dying. The economy is dying. America is fading away. We are no longer the soul consumers. Unless you're rich you're done for
What would really help the situation is to get Carlos Tavaras the HELL out of Dodge and get somebody running Stellantis that actually knows how to run a car company instead of a money grubbing idiot that will kill the company!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What, you don't like green new deal, new world order, all electric cars with a range of 100 miles and no chargers? You don't like that? Why? There are rumors about buying Dodge. Get it the hell away from Stallantshit. Let them go screw themselves with the new go like hell fake Alpha Romeo hornet. Dodge has seen this movie before. Didn't Mercedes own them 20 years ago. These idiots from Europe don't understand Americans. They need to get out the way.
Personally The CEO Carlos Tavares may be the worst automotive CEO EVER, inside source said Jim and Tim both left because Carlos won't work with them. When they miss earnings end of June and published in July that stock price will be cut in half.
Agreed! My 2020 Scat Pack widebody Challenger is absolutely loaded with every option (except sunroof - didn't want one) and I paid $4850 under MSRP!! ($48K) Absolutely nothing has been changed or updated since then so how do they justify an over $25k price hike? It's also worth mentioning that I have not had any recalls, and zero - absolutely ZERO problems with this car. (And yes - I drive it in the manner for which it was designed: hard and fast!) I don't know if that's true for newer models or not.
Carlos Tavares, the French CEO instead of improving Dodge and Chrysler just seems like he’s on a personal mission to destroy this once great American company. Because I remember the pride and commitment, to the improvement of Dodge and Chrysler during the Lee Iacocca days.
I won't soon forget when Boeing execs were forced to testify before the House on the recent door popping off and missing bolts they literally could not tell you who directly was responsible for their installation....a real confidence booster
1973 Charger SE Brougham was my last Dodge, Moved up to Chrysler and my last one was a 300M. Now we have enjoyed a couple Grand Cherokee Limiteds. Great cars from a great company.
Stellantis has overseen the deconstruction of the Chrysler brand. Chrysler used to have multiple cars and now all they have is a minivan. The Chrysler 300 has been discontinued and never even got the hellcat engine. As for Dodge: STELLANTIS is a European company, Dodge has no use for them. Dodge doesn’t make right hand drive cars. Therefore STELLANTIS doesn’t mind killing off Dodge. Europe hates American cars and Europe hates Americans. They don’t care about the eagles that are emotionally wrapped up in Americans purchasing of Dodge vehicles. Ever since Sergio was in charge, they were trying to push their European cars on us: Fiat, Alfa Romeo, Maserati, etc. they did that at the expense of the Dodge Magnum and other Chrysler products that could have been improved. I think STELLANTIS is prepared to be a lower lower volume/high transaction price dealer and they don’t care. Also worth mentioning is the UAW strike last year. I think they are ready to slash it burn American production, shift production outside of America and deal with the repercussions later.
Oh, I don’t know, my Ram 2500 (my 3rd) has been excellent. Quieter and smoother ride than my Escalade. Faster too. Even the interior is waaay nicer than the older Cadillac.
All major corporations are outsourcing engineering to India and other cheaper nations. They don’t mind screwing Americans while their execs rake in record amounts.
The Stellantis CEO is pretty much scrapping Dodge to line his own pockets. Layoff employees to make the books look better, get a bigger bonus. Lower quality on the product, and overcharge. My next car will probably NOT be a Dodge.
I've worked at dealers selling new dodge, jeep, Chrysler, Plymouth, Honda, Volvo, Hyundai, Toyota and they all have stuff that's not working right from the factory... stuff that's unplugged, stuff that flat don't work, loose bolts electronic crap not working I even had to replace an engine in a brand new truck with only 7 miles on it.
As a door nail. And people are having issues with the 2023s. This is the 1st time in history i have ever heard were the last year of the body of a car is the worst of them all.

When ever a company has money issues the first thing that takes a hit is safety. Then it's keeping equipment in good working order, then it's cheaper made products , then it's start laying off older workers, cutting benefits, anything but reduce the management or their income.
I love how the factories look all clean and nice.. They used to be.. Cost cutting took away cleaning jobs and the plant I've been in is TRASHED! The lines are a pathetic mess

Industries are always going through phases, in recent years they all suffer from overpaid management and executives that only work for short term gains to milk as much bonuses out of a company as possible. In the long run they ALWAYS hurt the company but by that time they have their money save and sound removed from the company and can move on. At a certain point there is either a shift for things to get better or the company implodes, the usual thing. Sadly so the former is most often achieved AFTER the government had to step in with bail out money and this means the reboot is standing on very fragile legs. The grunts, the people who actually do the work, create value are the ones that face all the negative aspects while the ones making the calls dodge all accountability.
The best thing that could happen to CDRJ is to go back to CDRJ. And get the Italian shit out of it. These new what evers being built will not be collectable and probably wont run 20 years from now. The old hot rods will still run, if we can still get gas.
Why credit all the those cars Daimler-Chrysler built to stellantis? They only inherited those car models with the merger. In fact they seem to be making them worse. Right out of the gate. We don’t need to show stellantis any love when it is unearned.
I’m here to tell anybody listening, that loves the Dodge brand, we are collectively doing a GameStop stock type buyback ( hint hint)to get our Dodge brand back. Too bad this guy didn’t suggest it. Most of us follow TK‘s garage on TH-cam, go there and follow the rest of us, help us save the brand, or drive fiats…that’s what’s coming l..
Tk said as of right now we would need to buy 3 billion worth of stocks, but what he doesn’t know is that stellantis has been doing a stock buy back program and in the past few days has spent about 400 million dollars on buying its own stocks with the goal of spending 1 billion dollars by the end of the month so the stock won’t sink if anything it will go up thanks to their stock buyback program

StellAntis European in no Different reliability will equal their products or be worse. 👦🤘🏎🏁🚩 I had bought a 2022 Roush Mustang and it will be the best car I'll ever buy. I don't like the S650 Mustang with the Push Button Parking, I hate the Air Conditioning and Radio controls on the Screen. In the Summer heat the Screen is all Black, and only turns on once the temperature inside is cold. It turns on if you turn in on at your final destination or on a Red Light by turning the engine off and then turn it back on.
the best engineering for car makers was in the dawn of the mid-90s to early 2000s. all vehicles made from that time/era are still running on today's streets/roads and highways. How does anyone not see and know this!!? I find it quite funny
I own a muscle car from another company. While it's being repaired at a shop I was given a rental car. There wasn't much to choose from at the time I got the rental, and I ended up getting an electric car as my rental. I was pleasantly surprised by how fast and smooth it accelerates, and how quiet it is while doing so. I thought the next time I'm in the market for a new car I'd want the best of both worlds. There is not a lot to currently choose from when it comes to electric sports cars (especially reasonably priced ones) , and when I saw that Dodge had plans to come out with an electric Charger that not only performs like an electric car while looking like a muscle car (while having good storage space) I thought I'd found what's likely to be my next car purchase. After hearing about Tim's leaving I am left wondering if the car will see the light of day, how the plans for the car could change (potentially not for the better), and what the future may look like for it. I hope the electric Chargers do come out, and are successful. Contrary to what what some might say (aka: those who have never driven an electric, those who have never driven a muscle car, and those who live where gas isn't ridiculously expensive) there very much is a market for electric sport and muscle cars. (I'm one of them).
Incredibly poor management from individuals who know nothing about cars or management and were totally unqualified to be in the positions they held. Regrettably, the situation with CDJR is so grave at this point that it is beyond salvaging in any meaningful way.
Heres the problem with Chrysler, their Chrysler, a Crisis company because nothing they do lasts or works for long. Then again, paying your CEO millions while the companies failing is hilarious and stupid
I was strictly a GM guy. They started making crap and CDJR very quickly became the new GM for me. I've had 3 Jeep Grand Cherokees starting with a 2002 Grand Cherokee Limited. It had a 6 cylinder engine but other wise was loaded. It was a great car and had it for 8 years and 145,000 miles. Traded for a new 2011 Grand Cherokee Overland with the 5.7 hemi, leather interior etc. What a vehicle it was as well. I got the bug and wanted more and I got it in a used 2017 Grand Cherokee SRT, loaded. What a beautiful vehicle and the performance is unquestionable for a SRT. They stopped making them in 2021. So sad! Now what do I do? I'm a NEVER ELECTRIC guy. I want the roar that electric will never have. I absolutely HATE the flat screen TV's that display the things about the engine or whatever is powering it that vehicles have stuck on the dashboards now rather than being in the dashboards. Guess I'll be driving used SRT's and Trackhawks until I die. There is nothing else out there quite like them. BMW or Mercedes, they are maintenance headaches forever.....NEVER!!!!!!
Got rid of my charger in the nick of time because it was right before they were stealing all of them and dodge was letting you return the vehicl3 because they were in so much demand that they wouldnt give you a penalty like a normal repo they did not ask for the remainder of the balance they sold it for more money then i bought it for so they counted us as even and that 600 a month note was just unsustainable
Arrogance won't keep paying the bills. Profits don't pay the bills evidently, venders haven't been paid for more than 5 months and some are stopping deliveries, hundreds of units are outside the factories waiting for parts to complete them. The problems with electrical systems... why haven't the Morocco engineers fixed it?
One thing that would be cool would be if vehicle manufacturers made remastered vers of original popular vehicle models from 2000s with a slight new look but everythin new or better under the hood and or interior
Stellantis is making jeep a luxury brand. And the only reason profits are all time high is due to the 30-50% price increase over the last 3 years. As a DJCR tech i dont recommend bying anything 2023 and up from Stellantis as quality is way worse.
It wont happen but elon musk needs to buy the brand out from stellantis. Elon talked about acquiring a gas powered brand and could use carbon credits from his teslas to build big v8 powered hemi cars.
I'm absolutely NOT rooting for Stellantis to succeed. They've literally planted their flag on the Chrysler building, announcing Mopar is no longer an American company. Taveras is a global patent troll. I won't own anything post acquisition.
Oh the "Last Call frenzy" what a SCREW JOB that was. People just giving $10s of thousands of dollars over msrp only for the Dodge to shift the goal post.😄😄😄😄
It's the people you got to think about not the investors . O and Bring back the Dodge Dakota. One with 2 Doors. Every body does not want 4 Doors on a truck.
I've seen a handful of these videos now and it seems to me that we have a culture war. One side wants to hang on to the glory days of loud exhausts and tire smoke, and the other side thinks it's time to be ultra-global and mostly electric. This is a divide that neither side can bridge, but the first victim if the stalemate will likely be Dodge.
Stellantis has the worst quality i have ever seen. I work as a mechanic at a dealer that sells most stellantis brands and we have to replace some Peugeot engine like once a week. The reason why Dodge used to still be good is that these cars didn't change in the time that Stellantis owned Dodge (they're technically still E-classes from the 90s). Now after the new Charger is built on a Fiat platform, I honestly hope to never have to work on that car, because it is very likely to be as shit as all the modern day Jeeps, Fiats, Peugeots, etc.
This is what happens when you don’t own your own product. Unlike Ford,Dodge doesn’t own themselves the Italians own them. The charger and challenger finally did something for the first in over 50 years and thats out selling the Mustang. Really disappointing short ending after such an accomplishment.
Dodge is done. No chance they get back to making cars ppl want unless Stellantis sells off the Dodge brand into American ownership. Carlos and Stellantis were on a mission to destroy hellcats and hemis. They succeeded. All their engineers gone, srt division 86ed.. Dodge will offer a bunch of Chinese cheap clown cars, euro trash, and evs that will be a total failure that nobody wants. They need to change direction before its too late. Unfortunately they are about a year or two too late now 😄 🤣 RIP Carlos and Dodge 😔
Before the assembly line , and after the assembly line , guys showed up clean . And went home dirty , but the concept of keep it simple got you from point A to point B and back just fine , modern tires was a huge advancement , flats suck ! And you patched your inner tubes on the road ,
This is happening all over the car industry, and other industries as well. Many people don’t realize that the previous administration’s deregulation of industries leads to corporate fat cats taking more profits and manufacturing/selling crap and passing the bill to unsuspecting consumers….unsuspecting that is until everything you buy begins to break down. 😊
Most people I talk to just want a simple no-frills vehicle if they want a frill's vehicle they'll build it themselves The 6 And the 4 cylinder Turbo charge is not my cup of tea Too much stress On The motors And it's components
As much as I like raw performance, kinda glad the hellcat/demon are gone, too many people who can’t handle the power being able to get a hold of them and end up destroying them or end up in the hands of the po lice
My ram 2500 just learned a new trick! Yeah, it likes to flash the abs and traction control lights, and kill the Cruze control randomly while dinging at me! Yeah it pretty fucking annoying and there’s no fix for it as the parts aren’t available. Soooo I guess I can go piss up a rope!
WHY DOES CHRYSLER HAVE TO GO? That's like separating the Oreo cookies. If Stellantis had any sense, take the ev Charger, do a skin change, offer lot's of luxury and make that the new Chrysler Concord, Newport, Imperial, or 300. Then take the Charger, take some luxury items away and sell it cheaper. Now you got tow cars to capture two different markets. If stellantis messes with the Chrysler brand and it's historical family, I'm not buying any of their products and going Jaguar, Porsche, Ford and Chevy, how's that for feedback!
All nonsense ..... THE "PROBLEM IS" PRICE OF THE VEHICLES. The party is over. 2 % 89 month car/truck loans are history. price price price price is the problem. Rent, food, insurance, taxes, mortages etc. So Dodge/RAM is NOW way too expensive. Stock brokers and hedge fund managers are not the Dodge/RAM customers. Your youtube is a bunch of hot air that has not nor never will focus on the "problem".
I have a dream that Tim Kuniskis moves to GM as head of a revamped Pontiac division with the mission of creating a new firebird or GTO suitable for NASCAR sponsorship. He could mint money making a new Firebird.

the best engineering for car makers was in the dawn of the mid-90s to early 2000s. all vehicles made from that time/era are still running on today's streets/roads and highways. How does anyone not see and know this!!? I find it quite funny
I own a muscle car from another company. While it's being repaired at a shop I was given a rental car. There wasn't much to choose from at the time I got the rental, and I ended up getting an electric car as my rental. I was pleasantly surprised by how fast and smooth it accelerates, and how quiet it is while doing so. I thought the next time I'm in the market for a new car I'd want the best of both worlds.
There is not a lot to currently choose from when it comes to electric sports cars (especially reasonably priced ones) , and when I saw that Dodge had plans to come out with an electric Charger that not only performs like an electric car while looking like a muscle car (while having good storage space) I thought I'd found what's likely to be my next car purchase.
After hearing about Tim's leaving I am left wondering if the car will see the light of day, how the plans for the car could change (potentially not for the better), and what the future may look like for it. I hope the electric Chargers do come out, and are successful. Contrary to what what some might say (aka: those who have never driven an electric, those who have never driven a muscle car, and those who live where gas isn't ridiculously expensive) there very much is a market for electric sport and muscle cars. (I'm one of them).
Just switched back to selling Dodge from VW. I’m Mopar diehard. We shall see how this goes!
Gen Z worker have very poor work ethic. I’ve seen it.
Stellantis is going to shut down the auto brands Chrysler and Dodge and keep Ram, Jeep.
Incredibly poor management from individuals who know nothing about cars or management and were totally unqualified to be in the positions they held. Regrettably, the situation with CDJR is so grave at this point that it is beyond salvaging in any meaningful way.
Heres the problem with Chrysler, their Chrysler, a Crisis company because nothing they do lasts or works for long. Then again, paying your CEO millions while the companies failing is hilarious and stupid
What dies owning a Viper have to do with Stellantis?
Next few years will be hard for the company expect to see desperate measures in the near future
so what about all the issues with vehicles shutting down, shifting into First or Reverse among other breakdowns
Sounds like somebody is in denial.......😢
I was strictly a GM guy. They started making crap and CDJR very quickly became the new GM for me. I've had 3 Jeep Grand Cherokees starting with a 2002 Grand Cherokee Limited. It had a 6 cylinder engine but other wise was loaded. It was a great car and had it for 8 years and 145,000 miles. Traded for a new 2011 Grand Cherokee Overland with the 5.7 hemi, leather interior etc. What a vehicle it was as well. I got the bug and wanted more and I got it in a used 2017 Grand Cherokee SRT, loaded. What a beautiful vehicle and the performance is unquestionable for a SRT. They stopped making them in 2021. So sad! Now what do I do? I'm a NEVER ELECTRIC guy. I want the roar that electric will never have. I absolutely HATE the flat screen TV's that display the things about the engine or whatever is powering it that vehicles have stuck on the dashboards now rather than being in the dashboards. Guess I'll be driving used SRT's and Trackhawks until I die. There is nothing else out there quite like them. BMW or Mercedes, they are maintenance headaches forever.....NEVER!!!!!!
Got rid of my charger in the nick of time because it was right before they were stealing all of them and dodge was letting you return the vehicl3 because they were in so much demand that they wouldnt give you a penalty like a normal repo they did not ask for the remainder of the balance they sold it for more money then i bought it for so they counted us as even and that 600 a month note was just unsustainable
Arrogance won't keep paying the bills. Profits don't pay the bills evidently, venders haven't been paid for more than 5 months and some are stopping deliveries, hundreds of units are outside the factories waiting for parts to complete them. The problems with electrical systems... why haven't the Morocco engineers fixed it?
That's generally how it goes..... Dad and neighbor mom and coworker lmao
I had a 2012 challenger rt 5.7 . The cam shaft n lifter problem not being recalled is B.S. never even beat on the car !!! My view ... dodge sucks !!!!
One thing that would be cool would be if vehicle manufacturers made remastered vers of original popular vehicle models from 2000s with a slight new look but everythin new or better under the hood and or interior
Current guy is running the Company like it is Sears.
After 2020 Covid ruined quality control
All These C.O.s are way overpaid The vehicles are not worth 1/4th of the price There asking and then Customer service is crappy 😢
Stellantis is making jeep a luxury brand. And the only reason profits are all time high is due to the 30-50% price increase over the last 3 years. As a DJCR tech i dont recommend bying anything 2023 and up from Stellantis as quality is way worse.
Is the answer selling Chrysler/Doge to a Chinese company that produces EV Chryslers while allowing Dodge to build a mix of EV, Hybrid and ICE V8s?
They should have made a hellcat street truck like the lightning once was
They got there by forcing their dealers to take on stock they couldn't sell, which is rusting away now.
I have been a Mopar fan for a large portion of my life. When they pimped themselves out to Daimler Benz is when I lost faith in the brand.
It wont happen but elon musk needs to buy the brand out from stellantis. Elon talked about acquiring a gas powered brand and could use carbon credits from his teslas to build big v8 powered hemi cars.
I'm absolutely NOT rooting for Stellantis to succeed. They've literally planted their flag on the Chrysler building, announcing Mopar is no longer an American company. Taveras is a global patent troll. I won't own anything post acquisition.
Oh the "Last Call frenzy" what a SCREW JOB that was. People just giving $10s of thousands of dollars over msrp only for the Dodge to shift the goal post.😄😄😄😄
I love my Dodge ❤
It's the people you got to think about not the investors . O and Bring back the Dodge Dakota. One with 2 Doors. Every body does not want 4 Doors on a truck.
I've seen a handful of these videos now and it seems to me that we have a culture war. One side wants to hang on to the glory days of loud exhausts and tire smoke, and the other side thinks it's time to be ultra-global and mostly electric.
This is a divide that neither side can bridge, but the first victim if the stalemate will likely be Dodge.
Stellantis has the worst quality i have ever seen. I work as a mechanic at a dealer that sells most stellantis brands and we have to replace some Peugeot engine like once a week. The reason why Dodge used to still be good is that these cars didn't change in the time that Stellantis owned Dodge (they're technically still E-classes from the 90s). Now after the new Charger is built on a Fiat platform, I honestly hope to never have to work on that car, because it is very likely to be as shit as all the modern day Jeeps, Fiats, Peugeots, etc.
I was told at dealer that the twin turbo 6 hasn’t been confirmed yet
Only the EV
This is what happens when you don’t own your own product. Unlike Ford,Dodge doesn’t own themselves the Italians own them. The charger and challenger finally did something for the first in over 50 years and thats out selling the Mustang. Really disappointing short ending after such an accomplishment.
Those problems have always been in the manufacturing plants, I sold new cars for 30 yrs and these issues are nothing new. So big deal
They should call the new electric charger with the fake engine sounds the Charger MP/3.
Dodge is done. No chance they get back to making cars ppl want unless Stellantis sells off the Dodge brand into American ownership. Carlos and Stellantis were on a mission to destroy hellcats and hemis. They succeeded. All their engineers gone, srt division 86ed.. Dodge will offer a bunch of Chinese cheap clown cars, euro trash, and evs that will be a total failure that nobody wants. They need to change direction before its too late. Unfortunately they are about a year or two too late now 😄 🤣 RIP Carlos and Dodge 😔
Before the assembly line , and after the assembly line , guys showed up clean . And went home dirty , but the concept of keep it simple got you from point A to point B and back just fine , modern tires was a huge advancement , flats suck ! And you patched your inner tubes on the road ,
Dodge/RAM will soon be considered an import.
This is happening all over the car industry, and other industries as well. Many people don’t realize that the previous administration’s deregulation of industries leads to corporate fat cats taking more profits and manufacturing/selling crap and passing the bill to unsuspecting consumers….unsuspecting that is until everything you buy begins to break down. 😊
CDJR hasnt been "ok" for a long time.
Most people I talk to just want a simple no-frills vehicle if they want a frill's vehicle they'll build it themselves The 6 And the 4 cylinder Turbo charge is not my cup of tea Too much stress On The motors And it's components
Feels like an Enron stripping scam.
As much as I like raw performance, kinda glad the hellcat/demon are gone, too many people who can’t handle the power being able to get a hold of them and end up destroying them or end up in the hands of the po lice
My ram 2500 just learned a new trick! Yeah, it likes to flash the abs and traction control lights, and kill the Cruze control randomly while dinging at me! Yeah it pretty fucking annoying and there’s no fix for it as the parts aren’t available. Soooo I guess I can go piss up a rope!
Truck of the year 3 times yet still selling behind Silverado and f150 let’s be honest they bought the reward not earned it.😂
Carlos is cutting costs and increasing sticker price chasing the high end..
“Dodge” will be fine overall - once they sell the brand and someone picks it back up.
So the up shot of this video is avoid Dodge like the plague!
under powered v-6's and EV's are not drag cars
Your content is a rip off of donut media. Let’s make some original content
WHY DOES CHRYSLER HAVE TO GO? That's like separating the Oreo cookies. If Stellantis had any sense, take the ev Charger, do a skin change, offer lot's of luxury and make that the new Chrysler Concord, Newport, Imperial, or 300. Then take the Charger, take some luxury items away and sell it cheaper. Now you got tow cars to capture two different markets. If stellantis messes with the Chrysler brand and it's historical family, I'm not buying any of their products and going Jaguar, Porsche, Ford and Chevy, how's that for feedback!
You just need to dodge that DODGE!!
All nonsense ..... THE "PROBLEM IS" PRICE OF THE VEHICLES. The party is over. 2 % 89 month car/truck loans are history. price price price price is the problem. Rent, food, insurance, taxes, mortages etc. So Dodge/RAM is NOW way too expensive. Stock brokers and hedge fund managers are not the Dodge/RAM customers. Your youtube is a bunch of hot air that has not nor never will focus on the "problem".
Stellantis doesn’t care bc they haven’t introduced their design yet
I have a dream that Tim Kuniskis moves to GM as head of a revamped Pontiac division with the mission of creating a new firebird or GTO suitable for NASCAR sponsorship. He could mint money making a new Firebird.
