I used to have a large collection of vinyl records and VHS tapes. Then I had a large collection of CDs and DVDs. Now all I have is digital media. The solution to be able to listen to whatever you want already exists in the vehicle. It's time to let go of an obsolete format and move to a flash...

Hopefully it's just confusion. However dealer participation is voluntary. Changing their mind after placing an order is beneath contempt. I assume you got a copy of the order? My dealer made a notation about 1% below invoice on the POC given to me. If the dealer won't honor it and won't...

I haven't seen an actual picture of the "panda" edition of the Backcountry yet. :cool: Looking forward to pictures!

A Night Edition with silver painted 18" wheels is just wrong. At the minimum why didn't the factory substitute wheels from the Backcountry? Still only 18" but at least painted black.

I bought one off amazon 3 years ago for $20 and it's worked perfectly. It has all brass and stainless construction except for the obvious plastic parts. I use it 2-3 times a month except when it's below freezing. I definitely think there's diminishing returns as the price goes up which something...

I don't get the pop up anymore either on a different browser or mobile. The one I signed up for did mention "order by" and I sent the email with the code to my dealer who added it to the order. Whether or not it stacks with the promotions available when I take delivery is another question.

Interesting... Wonder if you would have gotten a different result filling out the credit app directly thru Chrysler Financial? Maybe you're a cautionary tale for others.

It's per visit but no additional deductible for follow up appointments for a in-progress repair. For example, bring in for an issue and dealer has to order parts so an appointment is scheduled to do the work - only one deductible payment. I believe that also includes if a repair is made and the...

The letter lists the 4 factors. Other than explaining what they mean (which I attempted to do) what else are you expecting? I'm not clear if it was an outright denial of credit or just not approved for the best available rate. OP seems to mention both.

Out of curiosity, did you fill out the credit app online and was it through Mopar Chrysler Financial? Or did you provide info to the dealer and they entered it?

Quick anecdote: Many years ago I had a friend who worked at a discount furniture store that offered "free" financing. They would intentionally mistype someone's SS# or other information so the buyer could only qualify for a high interest rate. 9 times out of 10 the buyer would just accept it and...

Manufacturers do their own testing per EPA rules and provide the data to the agency. The EPA only samples a small number of vehicles each year to verify the manufacturer results. The test cycles used to calculate the fuel economy numbers are based on very conservative driving behavior. For...

Can you imagine having to wade through threads from people reporting they're NOT having an issue with windows leaking, or transmissions slipping out of gear, etc? The data sample is so skewed on forums. If an issue is mentioned a few times it's a huge problem that should be subject to a recall...

I don't see anything about Darwin Automotive providing extended warranties. Darwin appears to be a software provider for the auto industry. From an article in Automotive News: "Auto dealerships use the Darwin technology platform to deliver a personalized, effective customer experience and to...

I wonder if in part that's due to Ram trying to hang on to second place in sales over Chevy. In Q1, Ram only moved 6k more trucks. Of course if you combine Chevy and GMC since their the same truck, Ram is really in 3rd.

A friend had his truck backed into at a parking lot and broke the parking pawl. Shop that fixed the transmission told him if he’d set his parking brake there would’ve been no damage to the trans. He always sets his parking brake now. A parking pawl is very small for the amount of work it has to...

There are plenty of manufacturers that have offered 0% in the past (going back decades?). I'm surprised the OP really doesn't know about this. The average credit score is around 715 so 0% is a marketing tool to get people in the door. I doubt many buyers back out at the point of learning they...

Oh I forgot about Warren MI. I mostly think of it for Jeep.

'21 Outback Touring owner here. The lane departure warning is hyper sensitive and the automatic lane centering is a joke. Fortunately they are easy to permanently disable. The adaptive cruise control (which is also part of EyeSight) is okay but nowhere near as good as a radar-based system...

I agree that all dealers are liars and thieves, but that seems like an odd thing to get creative with the truth on. Maybe @myramtrx can get to the bottom of it.
