why should the American taxpayer step in to save a foreign owned company.
I agree, but there we go again
Why? Two words--U.S. voters. And we don't get to vote on bailouts.
Dodge ram jeep Chrysler are American.
They are not a American company as far as I'm concerned the UnitedStates shouldn't be bailing them out if they would make a better vehicles instead of poor quality junk it may help I wouldn't buy one of these the warranty work as it is it's poor to say the least
U.A.W.
People are tired of being robbed
Bank bailouts robbed US taxpayers NOT modern US manufacturing companies that employ tons Americans directly that spend $ in there communities etc. Manufacturing companies paid bk loans w/ interest!! Unlike bank bailouts. Facts.
Governments need to stay OUT of the private sector period let it run its coarse.
It's not going to happen they loooooveeeee money and have control
All we manufacture on a global basis is cars. We don’t have shit to trade. We lose the auto industry and we would actually have no relevance in the trade market
The reason why gas vehicles are so expensive or is because manufacturers are losing billions producing these EVs to appease governments. That's the real cost of government interference
Yep- get govt out of oil incentives too.
Let them go under, don't go down with them and take the country with you.
A bailout after record profits is not a good use of taxpayer money!
Totally right on that front
And jumping in bed with the Euros not helping either..Mario Bros is sinking the brand..good riddance 😅
But that’s what Biden does best isn’t it
government is a scam
stop paying taxes
@Troy-y5g true
It is him or his handlers.
They used to be decently priced trash. Now they're just expensive trash.
Nowdays all the brands want to be luxury brands.
This
Chrysler products were always unreliable junk, but they were also cheap or affordable.
Today they are unaffordable, overpriced junk.
People are not going to overpay for unreliable junk. Overpaying is bad enough but overpaying for junk is just too much for most consumers.
@user-tz4bt5bt6x they still are cheap I buy then broken and fix them for pennies on the dollar when people like you call things unreliable because you don't know how to screw in a light bulb
Well said!
@@user-tz4bt5bt6x Nope, I went to look at them and the salesman told me they are more reliable than Lexus now. He said if you change the oil your grandkids will be driving this Grand Cherokee. The price is because of very high quality.
Let them all go out of business
We understand your frustration, but please do remember the car industry is not buildings and vehicles. It's also people supporting their families. And it's not good if they're suddenly out of work en masse. And similar to what happened to the steel industry in the rust belt in the 80s, it then spirals downward to the smaller businesses that support a certain industry. I witnessed it in the Pittsburgh area.
Free enterprise has wins and losses
@@azmike3572well...maybe that will teach them to listen to their customers rather than their profits...let them go under.
@@azmike3572 Eff m. They're the ones making the crappy vehicles. Maybe if these vehicles wouldn't fall apart, they'd have more job security.
@@azmike3572 well said my friend.
Of course the government is stepping in instead of letting the market self correct. Unbelievable.
Classic
They certainly weren't stepping in when the dealers were, and still are, screwing the consumers over the last few years.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
American automaker Chrysler was bailed out twice in its history, taking a $1.5 billion bailout from the federal government in 1979 and in 2008.
Another bailout? When will they be held accountable for their actions?
Apparently never, reap the benefits on the top but have no bottom because there is a safety net
@markholubetz That's our fault, and Stellantis is just trying to cash in. Our society has historically like big and fast shit. Stellantis saw that and wanted some of the action but they went too far. Pickup trucks and SUV has been top sellers in the US for quite a while and I've been living in the US for 30 yrs. As far as claims of being junk, sorry, Stellantis didn't trun CDJR into junk, they've always been junk. The bottom of the American big three and yet they've been selling. As far as Stellantis is concerned, Americans will buy junk so why change?
Why should the government bail them out? Like it or nit, its American jobs that are at stake here.
@@kennyharp4125exactly, people don't understand that. These corporations bring in 1,000,000x more value to the country and it's power structure then any 1 single American. This is the way it is and if you want change, stop buying their expensive bs and it'll changem
@@markholubetz While screwing the same Taxpayers that bail them out with prices 2 to 3 times higher than the product should sell for.
they been bailing ford out for the last 5 years because of the dumb electric push!
Poor business management with price gouging and yet we the tax payers bail them out with no say in the matter this is also a foreign company now.
WE NEED A GOOD CHEAP DRIVER CAR.
Easy to buy. Easy to drive. Easy to fix. No extras. No dealer markups.
Exactly
Exactly.
They refuse to make affordable cars with no additions for the average person, instead making almost exclusively tank trucks with costs that go as high as six figures.
Am I supposed to feel bad for them?
Make what the consumer wants instead of overpriced trash and the problem fixes itself.
thank the EPA and other agencies for all kinds of laws and regulations
I hate all this expensive computer crap that no one can repair.
Toyota 4runner
I hate these manufacturers and government so much it’s unreal.
charging $70k for regular cherokees when that was the price for the SRT versions(when they existed) just 3 years ago is just insane
Facts I drive a 98 grand cherokee I bought for 3500 and that thing goes anywhere 😂. I cringe when I see people spend 75k on a wrangler.
I also don,t think people have gotten that much more wealthier that 70k would sound affordable
Lol it was cheaper before covid for the srt versions
This is insane... how do they expect to stay in business when no one is buying?
The govt, is basically buying them with our money. You can't make this shit up.
Who cares about staying in business when the government will keep you afloat.
@@wrongthinker350
Exactly
How do they expect Capitalism to work if there is no punishment for overcharging customers??
@@wrongthinker350 Very true.....how hard would it be for the GubMent to day no?
They don't, this is The Green New Deal, break the big three.
Grand Cherokee sold pretty well when they costed the same as a GM or Ford suv. Now I rarely see them on the road.
I agree, just look around, not many out there
i see way more of the 2014-21 body style than the new ones due to that exact reasoning. no one is paying $70k for a cherokee when the old bodystyle was better in every way for cheaper
You used to be able to lease Grand Cherokees very affordably. Not any more. A friend currently has a Cherokee which is now discontinued. What she will do at lease end is a big question.
I see tons in Michigan
Some of these trucks cost almost as much as my house I just had to rebuild.
It simply makes zero sense at this point
I remember seeing Kenworth trucks going for $120k or less depending on engine, sleeper etc
All American made vehicles need to be marked down to 50% at least with 10 years/100,000 mile warranties.
that 73k wrangler + 12k option should be 45k + 5k option at the best.
I agree it’s sort of like they threw the dice on how much to charge
They are crazy
Like with new housing, vehicles come with all the do-dads that could be purchased later. Sell a barebones model and have 3rd party "companies" making bolt-on mods for them. Then people can mod it up when they have a little saved (or finance it) and you get the money on the back end. Doesn't seem that hard, but if they cared about the average earners, we wouldn't be in this situation.
Jeep Wranglers have consistently had the worst reliability ratings year after year. Junk!!!
Technology and safety has pushed the cost of cars out of most everyone’s reach
Awesome I guess people will be living in them because if they buy they have no money left
Those stellantis products need 50% price cuts. Sadly way overpriced.
Poor quality to.
Maybe people are finally wising to up to how overpriced these cheaply made vehicles are. They look nice but man they are made with very cheap materials.
Dodge needs to get back to basics. The average working person would love to have a basic vehicle that they can modify on their own! Dodge did make a truck back in the late 80's early 90's that was standard transmission. 5.7 hemi. Basic stereo, ac, no power search or windows or mirrors. And was 4x4. Dodge wants to make money. Make your high priced vehicles for those that can afford it. But give the working class people a vehicle they can afford and modify themselves. We all don't need all the technology. I have a cell phone and a tablet for anything I need to know.
Government needs to stay out of it
If they just lowered the prices abd stopped being greedy they would sell
also local gov bodies should make their own choice I think, here in BC, Canada, I work for Ministry of Forests, and we bought 7 USED Nissan frontiers for about 160k USD that will be used for 6-8 years and it is perfectly good on the pocket of the tax payer !
That aren't selling due to price (60%) and poor quality (40%).
I'm a security officer at BNSF and I do vehicle patrol in the auto lot and dodge jeep, ram Chrysler Toyota, Mazda are still going in and out of the auto lot like the stealerships are giving away the trucks, SUVS and cars, I don't understand why they are not halting production since the car lots are filling up to the brim
Let em go under. Their greed got them into this predicament, and they didn't react and adjust their pricing to sell. Some profit is better than none. They knew that the government would bail them out. I hate that our government does that, and the American taxpayer has to pay for it. Let them go under so this industry learns their lesson. We don't need big fancy dealerships. Some countries sell luxury cars on lots out of a trailer. Manufacturer direct and programs through Costco, etc. will work just fine.
Could it be that the execs have nice parachute packages?

I can’t believe they are only down 26%. Who would pay these prices?
Yes but remember fleet and commercial sales are boosting the numbers so reta il is truly in the toilet
62k for a bighorn with a twin turbo
Wow 😮 Stelantis is totally nuts with those prices
3 things:
The economic depression we are living.
These are priced like Bentleys.
The perceived quality. CJRD vehicles have the reliability and dependability of me claiming I'll be a millionaire by tomorrow morning. 🙄😂
All these products are 25% overpriced..
Yes they really need to start by de calibrating prices and that will get new clients in the door
More like 50%
90%
25%??? try 60% LOL
Banks are starting to call them out by requiring 20-30K down payment.
If you have 20 or $30,000 down you should just go buy a decent used vehicle. Pay cash no car payments.
I feel no sympathy for anyone who pays 50,000+ for an automobile if they’re paying in excess of $700 a month for 8 years plus full coverage insurance (and repairs on their junk cars). I agree, buy used you can afford and get liability insurance. You can buy 10 reliable cars or more over 8 years easily.
They’ll complain about price of eggs and $3+ for gas but yet people live in homes and cars they can’t afford with very little savings and have 5+ CCs they make minimum payments.
Adjusted price of an XJ would be about 35K new. 60-70K is double what their flagship used to cost.
I don't need a 4 wheel drive, off road, block shaped, 12 mile a gallon vehicle to drive in the suburbs or get to work.
Modern trucks since the late 90S early 2000s. Average 20-30 MPG HIGHWAY with no load. Tow/haul 2-3 times your vehicles weight and truck car suv minivan ev doesn't matter your cutting your milage in half it's simple math and physics properties. I'm a contractor and I hual my tools and smaller ladders in my little 05 pacifica from hatch to passenger floor board I can fit 10ft lumber or 4x8 sheets if I drop tools and equipment at the jobsite first.
Yes but to some people power and vanity are reason for a vehicle purchase 😅
The government shouldn't bail them, drop your prices. The Australian government bailed out Ford in Australia took the money and still closed. Around 2 billion if taxpayers money.
same with GM taking billions in incentives then shut Holdens down anyway
KEY TAKEAWAYS
American automaker Chrysler was bailed out twice in its history, taking a $1.5 billion bailout from the federal government in 1979 and in 2008.
More than I paid for my house! For a stupid car.
THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE MANUFACTURER GETS GREEDY, I WILL NEVER BUY A CAR THAT COSTS AS MUCH AS A HOUSE
When you build a mansion in a trailer park, it automatically looses vaue and youll never sell it without loosing money. Same when you over price a cheap car
Nothing has changed on those since they were 55,000 I don't know what makes them think they're worth 75,000 now they don't even have anything in the pipeline coming to replace that, I don't know what the hell they're thinking we've been told that the average American doesn't want to spend more than $400 a month on a vehicle and there is no way you're getting into any of these for less than 700 a month and that's with money down and an employee discount and I know that because I have priced them
It’s becoming very difficult to afford many of these. There are some reasonably priced vehicles though but that would be more from Mazda, Subaru, and certain Toyotas
Remember 3years ago you couldn't find a car or truck on empty dealer lots ? The wait list on a new vehicle was sometimes months. Remember?
How things have changed!
When a Company charges well over 100K for a truck in Canada that is Over Taxed by the Government, No - one can afford a new Truck or Car!
Dealership: there’s that guy pointing at all our overpriced junk. Look now he’s laughing.
Prices either come down or i will be transporting myself on a bike, cant afford those prices for real.
Same here
my diesel grand cherokee was in the shop 2 months. they wouldn't give me a loaner car. I was trapped at home... started riding my bike and taking the bus. i finally gave up and bought a new Subaru Crosstrek for $22k and eventually the Jeep was repaired with a bill of $11k for blown up exhaust at 47k miles on the odometer. I sold it to CarMax and not doing the jeep thing ever again due to crappy quality and terrible service.
Never buy anything from ram,dodge ect...
You are going to be a road hazard with all those plastic grocery bags tied to tat bicycle!
I'd rather buy a vehicle with no options, fleet model spec. Give me something with manual EVERYTHING and no radio and let the price reflect that.
The US government is actually giving over $1 billion to Stellantis and GM to convert plants to produce EVs. The waste of taxpayer money is ridiculous.
EV 4x4s......🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
All the BILLIONS going to Ukraine is so much MORE of a waste. I'd rather they use it for bail-outs here vs. going to a foreign country conducting a losing war.
-- BR
@@billredding2000 Don't forget Taiwan and a certain little festering 🚽 in the Middle East....
The compass used to be around $20k.
And it’s barely worth that
i bought a new Subaru Crosstrek which is a compatible vehicle but way more reliable and only $22k
I wouldn't buy a new one for 8K...
Goverment is out to lunch.
Or in Biden's case, sleeping in the basement.
Very poor company management. That is why thy are going broke. And farmers in Kansas should bail them out? Really? Will that improve management mistakes?
$120 000x 1.13 = $135 600 plus extras that's insane for a truck !!
Smells a lot like greed to me . Copy paste and multiply.
Exactly
I say let them go under. Stellantis did this to themselves, taking consumers for suckers, and it worked for awhile. In general, the average human not that bright. But the crap has finally hit the fan, and Stellantis is caught without their raincoat on. All Crapsler, Dudge, Jip, and Blam models could maybe be worth half of current MSRP. There is no way anyone can justify any Dangler or Madiator selling for $85k. All overpriced JUNK.
In 2021 I bought a new 2020 2500 ram with a 6.4 hemi for $47000. That truck is now $65000. We don't drive it much for the simple fact we can't afford to replace it for what we bought it for. The used side is just as bad. It's like the dealers are trying to get top dollar new truck prices on a used vehicle. It even gets worse when you try to trade it in. They don't want give fair trade in price. They under bid the value so they can make a killing when they sell it. I'M OUT. Great video.
At 13:24, the bird in the tree is thinking about putting a DEPOSIT on one of the RAM trucks. LOL!
Only so many millionaires who can afford these vehicles.
Millionaires don't drive Dodge.
@@wrongthinker350 They do now.
I just saw a ram decked out with red white and blue colors, giant front blue bumper, bald eagle sticker with the American flag covering the entire rear window 😅 thinking that is the he wrong truck to flex America in 😂
The Dutch flag is red white and blue as well.
My husband works in sales and his largest sales year in his entire career has been during covid. Companies will not be able to continue to charge what they did during covid.
Totally right, they are trying but honestly the wheels are falling off
Man, I guessed $114k on that gray 2500 and I was STILL $4K light! The money can’t move into the pockets of the rich man if the pockets of the normal man are empty 🫲😣🫱
Since the 80s they have been the cheaper less reliable company out of big 3 and people didn't mind that unreliability cuz the price was cheaper... They raise the price incredibly and then now they're not showing so they're going to lower it and pretend that they gave you a deal in all reality they just overcharged it in the first place and then now they're putting the price back to where it should be making it look like they're taking money off
You are so right. They raised the bar and it’s become a ratcheting effect, for no reason. They tried to fill us with this chip shortage nonsense, but now what? Ripoffs that’s what.
Chrysler is done
Honda and Volkswagen are parking new cars in mall parking lot near me. US economic condition is not good. Interest rates hurting business.
Regular people just simply can’t afford $1500 per month payment. Plus fuel insurance and maintenance. It’s either eat or drive . Sickening situation.
Another great informative video Mark, have a great week buddy
It's called US inflation. We keep printing more and more money and giving it away.
Yeah years ago you're a little behind the times buddy
@@aaaaaaab11 it still goes on and on.....
@samiam5557 it's funny how you can't get through to People it's a psyop the whole f****** thing your watching a movie wake up.
This is the real problem!
@aaaaaaab11 @aaaaaaab11 In your mind, inflation isn't an ongoing problem and still growing? It only happened years ago? Go to the grocery store and come back here and tell EVERYONE that it's all an illusion.
The costs at the automotive companies all went up too because of inflation and also from the government's EV propaganda.
In 2019 I bought a brand new Durango all wheel drive out the door for 26800. There's no way 5 years later it's worth 75,000. The government is destroying the credibility of the fake dollar
I bought a a ‘22 in December of that year and thank goodness I did. With the insane run up in prices I simply couldn’t afford a new truck with what happened in 2023.
CDJR has always been the Walmart of cars. Cheap, very low quality and mostly built for people who have bad credit, but want a new car and ignore real value.
Totally right and maybe that’s there image they are trying to change but sadly the quality has not followed the “going upmarket pricing” schemes
@@JA-zh5xi before stellantis bought them up from 2015-21 i would say it was pretty damn reliable for an american car manufactere. then stellantis bought it and went to shit
@ItsBlurrs they were viewed that way for a long time. Way before they were bought. My dad was a mechanic and said to never buy a Chrysler product.....
Chrysler products have been sub-par my entire life, and I’m 43. People saw what they wanted to see the last 10 years or so, but the truth is- quality didn’t suddenly go over a cliff when the company became Stellantis; quality was pretty bad even while it was FCA, however the prices have gone so high that people simply can’t look the other way any longer on the shortcomings of these vehicles. You used to buy a Chrysler product because they were cheaper than their peers, sometimes significantly; yes they were lower quality, but you dealt with that trade off, and you got a new vehicle that offered decent value and often times looked pretty good too. That value is now long gone.
@@Alan-tr5uj yep - they have been trash as far back as I can remember into the 1970s
Pure EV is a huge mistake.
I wish the governments would not give the money to the corporations, but should be given to the people as an incentive to buy a vehicle
My 2008 Wrangler was 17,995. Today's prices are insane.
its part of their plan to move ram and jeep upmarket.. they would rather sell fewer vehicles at a higher price and margin
Yes indeed and that has been the angle for a while now. Less workers and less materials but same or more money
Oh, they're going to sell fewer cars alright. They're selling fewer now. Increasing the price on them is moving backward.
Not rocket science… IF your products aren’t selling you’ve got a marketing problem. How about cutting back on production and giving larger discounts.
Totally true
If they only make a 30% profit on these vehicles from the actual cost of manufacturing and shipping, the vehicles would be about half the price they are.
Insane prices i just bought a 2006 forester with 40 thousand miles on it im good now 😊
85k for a 4 banger Jeep Wrangler. Brilliant...
Does anyone really care.. Stupid games win stupid prizes
Well…..
Nobody's buying now, so even if they get bailed out, nobody isn't going to buy those over price tin cans, your payment on a $100,000 vehicle is going to cost you about $1,100 a month along with your $1,700 Rent/Mortgage payments, groceries, electric bill, car insurance going through the roof. Now we have a big increase in our monthly bills, the checks dont cover all the inflation that everyone was comfortable with
I priced out a Ram back in march.. 6% interest on a $80K truck was going to be $1400/mo for I think 8 years... maybe 6... but still
@gold5th wow that's crazy
No use making them if no one is buying them!
The car companies already had their big bailout years ago. If they didn't learn anything and they are bailed out again we didn't learn anything either

Thank you for showing the true reality, The whole market is going down. I have a 2018 chevy sonic get great gas mileage and fun to drive. I will drive it until the wheels come off before I buy a new car. Its a scam and they will take advantage of anyone who buys one.
i bought a 10 year old Lincoln Navigator for $12,000 and im quite happy with it. the older ones aren’t overstuffed with complicated electronics and computer components, and they were built to last.
Corporate Greed
That seems to be the theme
high interest rates are also a big reason, most people finance new cars
47k for a compass is criminal
Yes or how about 55 which I could d a pricier one yet
Nobody in the USA got the balls to start a new company an brand
Buyers at these prices need low interest loans and cheap insurance. Markets have also changed. True off road crowd does not buy $65k Jeep just to break it on trail. New jeeps often too wide for trail.
Vehicle prices are out of control! I paid only 60 thousand for my 21 ram Laramie, 5.7 hemi, crew cab, and fully loaded. I feel bad for people that are trying to buy a vehicle
60k for a fully loaded RAM isn't outrageous!!!
@@franklinbrandon5283 I know, that’s why I made the statement” I paid only”
Why should the US government bail out a European company.
They should empty the lots by listing everything for 20k no matter what it is and once everything is cleared off the lot they can switch to EV. Dodge has always been a bargain vehicle so why are they even thinking they can sell anything for more than 40k. Everything is broken when you cant buy a car of any kind for a $350 payment per month.
Some massive discounts would really be welcome
The Rochester Hills, MI Dodge dealer has a 140,000 sq ft. lot overflowing with vehicles. I've been driving by it a few times a week for four months now and it just keeps growing.
Yes thats a typical stay across the country
Remember it's what they are asking... you don't have to pay that price.. you can make them an offer.. it's a yes or no.. if no walk out .. eventually you will get what you want for what you want to pay..
The CEOs of those companies should be made to take a super deep pay cut too
Only a fool would pay that much money for that vehicle. Should be 35k
Cheers
Every American should stop and not purchase any new vehicles for a minimum of five years. Boycott these ridiculous pieces and see how that works for these thieves.
That would sure have an impact
Well… it’s greediness from the manufacturer and dealerships……. They have been ripping people off for the last few years
Chrysler & co have been walking dead for years. The fact that Stellantis was dumb enough to buy a hopeless case does not change that. It does not deserve a bailout. Not again.
Take the unions out of the equation and see if the price goes down on a new vehicle were their affordable
They need to discount them 40 to 50% ! They are all over priced!
I saw a rusty old van with two men that came out of it about noon, going into the Dollar store. One had a T-shirt that says "Eat, Sleep. HVAC, Repeat". I notice that gold is trying to keep up with inflation. Back in '05 it was $500.00 an oz and a carpenter could make about $25.00 an hour in the city. Do you know of any carpenters getting paid well over $100.00 an hour? I don't. Maybe that helps explain what I saw today.
Greed always leads to ruin.
And they are well on their way
I've owned 5 new Dodge/RAM trucks since 1998. I traded my last RAM Hemi 1500 Saturday for a 2024 Ford F-150
