Nothing quite says “high-performance muscle car” like a popup ad for a Mopar Extended Warranty covering your whole center console. That’s right, Dodge Charger owners are now experiencing an exciting new feature: pop-up ads that appear every time the vehicle stops at a light. This absolute garbage feature was spotted in the wild, take a look here.

If you just do a standing burnout at every light will it not pop up?

I'm surprised Dodge is trying this considering the thousands of memes of BMW implementing pay to use features on their vehicle ever since they added subscription heated seats.

This is just asking to get rickroll’d.

Welp. That sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen. Of the class action variety.

If you disconnect the car’s cellular network, do the ads go away?

Excited to see what they'll do with Revanced for cars.

Weren't they going to discontinue both the charger and challenger?

Whenever I upgrade my car, if it has this “feature “ I will immediately change out the system.

There was an article about this few months ago and the exact same reddit post was used there as evidence of this being true. This was most likely a bug and it probably has been fixed since. If what the headline claims here was true there would be tons of videos of it happening to different people on YouTube.

I’ve been debating getting a new car after paying a ton to fix up my old one but now I think I’ll keep her forever.

Anybody got a lead on a rebuilt turbo for a 2.0L TSI?

This is old and they’ve already said it’s a bug. Stellantis sucks for sure though.

I'd get rid of that car so fast it would make your head spin. There is no car I'd put up having this garbage to keep
