Jeep drivers are facing an irksome issue with full-screen pop-up ads for extended warranties interrupting their driving experience. These ads frequently reappear at traffic stops, even after attempting to dismiss them, resulting in significant driver annoyance. Complaints trace back two years, but a recent post highlighted that a driver, having already reached the warranty's maximum limit, was still being hounded with ads. Stellantis, Jeep's parent company, claimed that a software glitch caused the issue, but many see it as a warning of cars' vulnerabilities due to reliance on touchscreen interfaces.
"Well, if it can connect to the internet, it can be an advertisement delivery system. And you bet that companies are going to take advantage of that."
"According to Stellantis, the frequency of the ads wasn't intentional. This was an in-vehicle message designed to inform Jeep customers about Mopar extended vehicle care options."
