Jeep's Controversial In-Car Advertising
Jeep has introduced full-screen pop-up advertisements on their infotainment systems, prompting significant backlash from owners concerned about safety and privacy. These ads appear when the vehicle is stopped, causing disturbances in accessing essential functions and frustrating drivers who expected a seamless experience free from advertising. Initially attributed to a partnership with Sirius XM, Jeep's parent company Stellantis later clarified that the ads were a result of a software glitch in the opt-out feature. Although there is a method to disable the ads through an account on Jeep Connect, owners feel it is unreasonable to have to navigate additional steps for functionality they assumed would be included with their vehicle.
