I am a worker at the SHAP plant. All I will say is I’ve never felt more like just a number in my years at the plant, then under Stella.
you've always been just a number....lol....always will be
Just get your finances in order, I left in 2009 it was bad, but inflation was no where near it is today
get outta there man
@@itsbiggully cant just leave like that🤣 hopefully they turn around
I feel the same way at KEP in Kokomo, stay strong union brother!
This problem covers so many industries, I am a railroad worker, the company wants to eliminate as much labor costs as possible while they give gigantic bonuses to the high up management.
It's all about making it easier for your boss... Hoping to get a raise. But your right
All while they have an insane maintenance backlog and they can't afford to fix it.
America needs to buy their stuff back , Period !
Wouldn't change the fact the V8 is dead. EV is the future.
@@PassportBrosBusinessClass Time will tell but my bet isn't on EV's.
@PassportBrosBusinessClass EV are not the future lol toyota making a killing with the hybrids.
@@PassportBrosBusinessClass You say this like you made a point. Domestic EV production would still be better for the economy and tailored to our market.
@@zippedmouthgaming5637 With batteries made using Chinese minerals?
They’re gonna ship production to Mexico AND raise MSRPs. They gonna look all surprised pikachu when Americans stop buying
Already there with Heavy Duty.
Alot of parts and wiring come from Mexico
Need to, no reason for a truck to cost more than the average yearly salary of an American.
Ram has declined in market share for years. Nothing new.
@@solodolo3378=payaso. It costs about 46-50K to build a pickup.
I used to work for Sterling Heights Assembly, we had a great quality truck. It wasn’t until Stellantis came along our quality and safety slowly is getting worse.
Ram and quality are not synonymous. There were some years this wasn't the case but those are outliers
Bought a 2018 ram brand new. Had to put a new transmission in at 32000 miles. Thank god it was still under warranty. I loved that truck but that was unforgivable.
@@chris3325Transmission is engineered and manufactured by ZF transmission, not FCA/Stellantis
Chrysler-Dodge-Jeep has had awful reliability since AT LEAST the Daimler days
It's gotten way worse trust me
Carlos Tavares worst CEO of the year anyone second that 🤔
Elon Musk
Elon musk cons people
All the elites, to the blue bloods, to the banksters, to all the politicians, to the world economic form types, to scientists, to all the CEO's that think they are above the rest of us, they are not. After watching everything fall apart the last couple years, it's pretty obvious that, they are just as dumb as the rest of us... We need to stop trusting the experts and authority at every level.
He's a government panhandler!
I'm a tech at a Dodge, Ram,Jeep dealer and we have been seeing a lot of problems caused by faulty harnesses put into their newer products. Now what I am repairing is junk.
Whats better is ordering a new harness and has spread pins already.
Sounds like lazy union workers to me. Just like lazy gov union ppl.
Why do u think it takes forever and service sucks at DMVs? Cuz ppl get lazy when they have unions protecting horrible employees.
@@gapperx9068 The executives of Stalantis appreciates your support so we can continue to make millions and millions of dollars. Our propagandists have done well.
@@gapperx9068 did you even listen to the video? The harnesses are too short and breaking that’s on the supplier and engineers, not the workers. Both assembly plants in the area had the same issue.
@@gapperx9068union workers aren't making the wiring harness, those are imported from countries with low labor costs (China)
Stellantis makes mostly 1.0L hatchbacks. They have no concept of the North American market. They bought the company for Jeep and could care less about the rest if the brands
They have a division called RAM to take care of the trucks
They are not doing Jeep justice with the 4xe. My local dealer has only been getting the hybrids delivered. They can’t move them but Jeep will only send those to them. They are junk. I’m keeping my diesel till the wheels fall off then buying another used diesel Jeep.
Ram was as valuable as Jeep in the eyes of Stellantis. They don't care about the Chrysler and Dodge brands, which is why Ram became its own brand and stopped using the crosshair grille shared with Dodge vehicles. Ram makes stellantis a lot of money but stellantis is driving CDJR into the ground with greedy msrp's and ignoring quality control issues because the fixes would cost money.
@@OttoTheWeimyea they're shoving the 4xe down dealers throats and it's going to be disastrous for sales. Nothing but clowns in Stellantis upper management.
I work at another facility and I can tell you they are eliminating quality jobs, where they were all about quality during FCA days, and we even followed a WCM quality model. Stella threw that out the window and it gets worse there every single day. UAW got us a garbage contract and left us to the wolves
Dodge finally had desirable engine options and they get rid of them all…… smh
Such a bad decision but Stellantis won’t listen. So sad!
@@yolandadowns Europeans don't understand V8s.
Federal government forcing automotive companies to produce E.V.s, Chrysler payed 1 billion dollars in one year scheme called "CORPORATE CARBON CREDITS".
Because set CARBON emissions so high in I.C.E. that those internal combustion engines cannot emissions standards.
BIDEN E.P.A. IS OUT OF CONTROL!
VOTING PRESIDENT TRUMP 2024
And even more hilarious, nobody wants electric vehicles. They are complete trash.
Most people want v8 when it comes to rams.
No most people want a Cummins diesel and a manual transmission. The only reason I bought a POS Dodge what because you couldn’t get a manual in a Ford or Chevy anymore. Well now you can’t even get on in a Dodge so I’ll never buy another one.
Wrong, the woke want to drive a truck for status but want it to be as cheap as a small car and not use any gas. Turbo-charged lawn mower engines are what the makers come up with and they don't hold up. Common sense is dead and so are those who make trucks.
V8 in a 1/2 T Cummins 3/4T and up..
@@Trump985I just like the Cummins and an auto.
CEO raise came from the same people trying to remove carbon (me and you) and depopulate.
You shall eat Z bugz…. You will own nothing! And like it!!
They'll replace us with robots and tell us that those jobs are dirty, hard and nobody wants to do that anymore.
This doesnt surprise me in the least. Stellantis being a European consortium has not prioritized the american markets.
Sure they have. They’ve prioritized destroying the American market.
They don't care about the American markets. Only the American monies!
@@HiredGun5 They consider us barbarians.
Why should they? Don't wesay the same thing about everyone else?
America First as it's said?
@@ekimbrough1413 because they own an American product. Know your customer is part of any business that sells products. CDJR in no way sells well in Europe, the same for European cars don’t sell well here. Why buy a product that you have no understanding of its market and try to run it like it’s in an European market? It has nothing to do with someone saying America first, it’s all about running a business to make it as profitable as possible.
I worked in engineering at ctc
It sounds like engineering issues and Stellantis made cut back to engineering and it’s hurt quality.
But it’s not sabotage.
It’s shitty management by corporate
I think they are intentionally hurting dodge. They have a plan and this intentional
@@ManiacalManiaccorrect. This is all intentional.
1 year ago, made a decision after owning mopar for 50 years! I will never buy another mopar product and have called all my friends to tell them never to buy one. And the fools at the UAW who were played like a cheap piano, thinking they were going to get a even deal with corrupt euro master globalist who hate america..
Seems more intentional, GE healthcare is pulling this shit at our union plant as well.
They had foresight about every issue theyd have at one plant from having the exact same issues at another plant months prior and chose to ignore them all and let them all happen. Even now theyre choosing to not fix easily solved issues. Thats WITH people from way up the food chain even from Europe visiting the plants. Just to put things into perspective.
Damn shame what’s happened to Mopar- it’s obvious that Stalantis wants to make these American brands suffer- Carlos Tavares doesn’t care about our legacy brands - the fact that Stalantis isn’t offering incentives to buy up these vehicles speaks volumes… GM & Ford are attempting to move the metal, why isn’t Stalantis???
I don't understand why they would buy it to "Make it suffer." How can they turn a profit? They have to make money.
@@cbrookb the lion share of Stalantis profits aren’t coming from America- their Euro based so even if Mopar fails over here in the states, they still will make plenty of profit from their dealings overseas.
@@cbrookbtheyd rather lose some money now to justify moving it to mexico and make it all back after.
Mopar makes vehicle PARTS , not vehicles. So there’s that.
Nope. They care about there own in Europe.
Would be incredible if dodge/ram could be employee and/or enthusiast owned. Whatever it takes to get an icon out the devils grips
Butter this video is going to blow up. From the outside looking in I felt like they were intentionally making the brand go down. Didn’t make sense until you brought up moving the plants to Mexico.
Too much crap is made in Mexico these days. Even the reliable brands.
I've been out of the game for years, opting to maintain my 1999 Mitsubishi Mirage for nearly 10 years now. Paid $1150 cash, made sure the car was assembled in Japan (VIN starts with J), and I made sure of that because Japan built great quality cars in the '90s. My car reaching 233k miles this year seems to support that.
Anyone who wants to purchase a quality built vehicle should consider where their car was assembled, which you can easily find out by using the first character of all VIN numbers on vehicles, and doing a simple web search.
I work with the trucks coming out of SHAP, the early 25 builds had tons of issues, specifically electrical. Units would die, wouldn't shift, was typically the higher trims with a lot of electronics, so much so that they needed to add an extra battery. They laid off 400 engineers and these projects have nobody leading them, they lost tons of knowledge and they think they can outsource this stuff to Indian and Brazilian engineers who will have no hands on experience with the trucks. It's a recipe for disaster.
It was Warren Stamping with the safety issues, not Warren Truck. We did have issues here at Warren Truck during our launch of the Wagoneer. 75% of the issues were engineering issues. People don't realize that with all that tech comes extra modules and wire harnesses that can stretch a mile. The battery was not strong enough to compensate for all the draw. On top of that, they didn't design the job layout properly because they rushed to get the lines up and running.
As it is now, a year and a half later, all those issues have been resolved. But, they tried to blame the workers first, even though they knew all along that it wasn't the worker's fault.
Stallantis needs a new Corporate CEO because this guy is running the company to the ground. Why else would he discontinue the HEMI? Why can't we have the inline 6 engines and the Hemi?
The CEO is doing what he's told to do. Stalantis is all in with the WEF. Thats where the orders come from!
You won't have range anxiety when you are living in a 15 minute city.
Awesome post ‘
@@ctfan1486 The WEF? I have no idea who or what is the WEF. I do know that the corporate is the one who's making all the decisions.

The Mercedes plant in Alabama just voted down the UAW, told them to take a hike.
But parts are union made .
Because Im sure they were told they would be closing and moving to MX!!!! Tuscaloosa is cautious
Sounds like a congressional inquiry is needed with this company.
That won't do any good. These corporate politicians are paid to be complicit.
UR funny😂
You'd have to get congress to stop filling their pockets long enough to even care.
LoL. And who's going to look into Congress?
I'm going to keep my 19 Ram 1500 Classic with the Hemi as long as i can.
only has 29,300 on her.
8sp, 3.92 gear
That engine will last for 350k if you take care of it. I’m doing the same, taking care of my 17 V8 Hemi
Me too! I have a 22 Ram classic, 5.7 Hemi 8sp 3.92. 4x4 quad cab. Love it!
@@Hats1976 Ohh man you got that 3.92, I got the 3.21. it I’m thinking about re-gearing to increase the Tow capacity
Bought a 2020 ram 1500 classic regular cab new,,not one problem
@@saltymotolbc6003 i wish the hemi lasted that long. Mine dropped a valve seat at 122k. I took care of this truck like it was a human child. On second engine. Still cheaper than a new one.
I'm waiting for international to authorize a strike over job sabotage and/or public safety.
UAW workers deserve answers. SHAPs been building this Ram truck for years, now all of the sudden there's defects and problems never seen before? And they're still running 6-7 days knowing they're all bad? This will negatively affect the workers in the long run. Intervention now will prevent job losses in the future AND customer complaints which ends up costing the company money.
They did the same thing in 2008-09, then they laid off a WHOLE SHIFT
I am not a Dodge owner, but love the channel for its insight.
I do not believe in coincidence; the American brands are doomed.
Only because of bailouts
@@dillonh321the bailouts were 15 yrs ago and were paid back. The EV charade is what’s killing them.
Stellantis is not an American brand.
Negative. Dodge is temporarily doomed. GM and Ford aren't going Anywhere. Dodge/Chrysler aren't even written off to History yet.
They're being uprooted and globalized.
Stellantis is clearly anti-UAW.
United Auto Workers, (Trade dedicated working folk.) VS.
Large-multinational- Faceless Corporation,(Wealthy, Global level investors), ... You do the math.
But remember, Everyone is Doomed at some point. But then, LIFE happens. And what goes around comes around.
I've been a RAM fan since 1994. However, I acknowledge that Ford has undisputedly been more stable than any other American brand. I switched to Ford in 2023. Sad to leave CDJR, but it clearly was the right move.
Well yeah no more V8 they are killing RAM
The government is forcing all companies to create more fuel efficient engines. Ram loves their v8 engines as much as the people who drive them.
Well, blame that on the government by their mandates....Ram would love to still build v-8's but it's the government mandates that are pushing these engines out of production
@@Deke1, thank you! You’ve stated truth very few understand.
The hurricane hauls ass though
@@dirtbagliberalsnake5729 but sounds like a vaccum cleaner, runs on premium gas for1 MPG range more.....
As soon as Ram announced that something new was being revealed a few weeks ago, I immediately knew that it would be the “Removed Hellcat Option” TRX!!
We knew that was happening in 2023 when they released the TRX final edition..... Not a few back
@@TRXMOE True, but it is still a downgrade whatsoever.
Wait until those wiring harnesses get a little age. Rubber and plastic shrink with time. So the short wire harnesses will be shorter in a few years. They will rip themselves apart with tension. It will start internally breaking wires.
These companies eat themselves with plan obsolescence
I'm sure it will take 5 years and 1 day to break though.
All these issues at the big three are having are totally unacceptable. Especially the prices that they are commanding for these vehicles.
The Biden Administration has made matters worse! Carlos Tavares needs to listen to what his customers DON'T want are ELECTRIC CARS!
As a company that makes consumer products its in the company's best interests to give the customer what they want. They had a winning strategy 1. Fun 2. Affordable 3. Reliable 4. Good looking now they threw that all out
4 before 3 👍
I was at SHAP (Sterling heights assembly plant) a week ago to pick up some warranty parts and they literally have trucks parked EVERYWHERE!!!!
Who is buying an 80,000 plus truck🤣🤣🤣 Ford has F-150s all over Dearborn lots
@@lgee9027The parking lot of the CLOSED Ford Romeo plant is FILLED with F150s.
@@robk9685 my best friend bought me a car for 5,000 in Dec. 2021, I cant go back to paying a note🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yea man Im surprised there havent been any really good rebates. I have emailed 3 dealerships on new 24's and they seem not to even care about selling them. In order to get those good rebates you have to have an employee discount amongst other things most people wont qualify for. Its crazy.
Remember: if they move all labor to Mexico (cost is 1/10 of what it is here) and prices don’t go down/barely go down. The labor was never an issue. The shareholders & corporates pockets were.
The Dealers bought the Stelantis production. The fact that the dealers haven't sold their inventory does not show up on Stelantis until the dealers refuse to buy 2024s ad 2025s due to overstock of 2022s, 2023s and early 2024s.
Lot rot and toxic mold are going to become severe problems.
It is already happening. Our dealership declined to buy any 2025 stock.
@@master_alienhead I’m waiting for the 75% off MSRP sale on the charger
The dealer I bought my 300c from literally remote starts every vehicle on the lot and waits for them to shut off automatically every single day. I'd hate to be the person buying a brand new hemi with all that idle time on it
@mtaylor6745 a car running for 5 minutes isnt idle time
It can’t be the employees not properly installing the components There are tests on the assembly line that do not let the assembly line move unless the test is complete
You got the CEO from alpha Romero the company with legendary quality issues taking over Chrysler what do you think's going to happen
Not Alfa Romeo, it's actually Peugeot that's destroying Chrysler
FCA has been a thing since the mid 2k and DJCR actually just started becoming some of the best selling vehicles for the first time ever and then they "merged" with PSA and everything went down the toilet. It's all on the ceo Carlos Tadingus
The Gov needs to step in and investigate asap
Stellantis seems to be putting more attention to the European market instead of the American market. I have a 3 year old Laredo on lease ready to turn in. I'm shocked at the prices for the new Trucks and Jeep Wrangler and GC. I refuse to pay $65,000 for a 4xE hybrid with a 4 cylinder engine. No thanks. I'll keep my V6 for now.
From day one, it was said that Stilantis wants to destroy Dodge, Ram and Chrysler. Seriously the company is pushing the Hornet as a Flagship vehicle. The worst car ever.
Ram was #1 truck for 3 years in a row. Once Stellantis took over, now they don’t know how to build a truck!!🤔🤔! Definitely sabotage!!

They’ve also been laying off American engineers and replacing them with Indian and Brazil engineers.
Several years ago now, a remarkably similar incident happened at Maytag Refrigeration Products in Galesburg, IL. The short story: The AFL-CIO union factory was set up for failure internally so the company would have the excuse to move production to Reynosa, Mexico. They succeeded on the backs of the workers. The CEOs continued to reap even more millions.
Ha ha, the union was set up? Jimmy Hoffa came back to life? Nope, the union is greedy. Happened over and over.
No such thing as a nonrefundable deposit. They tried that crap on me, I told them that my family owns 3 dealerships (truth) and that I know how it works, they're just trying to force my commitment to the car... "But sir, it's a special order" to which I asked "So, no one else who comes on your lot will want to buy a really nice car?? Have you no salespeople?" And they said "You're right, etc.." Then I told them that if they didn't return my money, it'll get legal. 20 minutes later, I was walking out with a check
A few years ago I bought my late Missus an '06 Chatger R/t.
We were sooo in live with that car.
I lost her to MS seven years ago, and three years later I was driving the car and got t-boned from the left side.
I often thought about replacing it with another Charter or Challenger.
I would still like to find one three or four years old, but with the internal crap going on with Stellantis, I'm having major second thoughts about it, mainly due to the availability of parts if something breaks.
I'd hate to have a twenty0five thousand dollar paper weight sitting the driveway.
@HiredGun5
FYI 300, Charger and Challenger ICE production ended December 23 2023.
The last Charger to roll off the line was a Hemi Police car, the car behind it was THEE last, a Demon 170.
Sorry for your loss. I wouldn't hesitate to buy one a few years older if you like them and it will help you relive some memories. There were so many of these made that there is aftermarket support and lots in the scrapyard. The hard part is finding one that some young guy didn't beat on too much.
Sounds like the record UAW contract last year will turn out to be a disaster for Stellantis employees. What's the point of getting more money if, in the end, you lose your factory and your job.
Fyi for the non-UAW employees. The hourly rate of employees is not what the "manufacturers" pay. It's typically twice that amount (Manufacter pays $60hr, employee gets $30hr) The rest goes to the UAW for retirees and benefits. If things go the way it's looking... current employees will not get any of that money. Because the manufacturers won't be in the US or have a drastically downsized workforce. Therefore, no way to pay current workers their benefits when they retire.
I work at Warren truck. My days feel numbered 😢
They are if you don’t have 10 years
Do not count God out! He is a on time God! 🙏🙏🙏
I feel bad for you a others. No one gives a shit about all of you .. I know how it is spent 21yrs at a place that talked and treated me soooo bad I got sick
Heres hoping it works out
I went threw the same thing at AAM it’s life after the plant trust me I am making double the money
My Ram 2500 Cummins is turning into a pain in the azz. Failed trans, failed uconnect. I was forced into an emissions recall that disabled my smog system right when it was due for registration renewal here in California. All with 55,xxx mile.
If you work for Stellantis you better be looking for a job the dealerships are full of trucks not selling and many dealers are now turning away new arrivals. It has been clear they want to ditch all Chrysler products they only merged to have the ability to sell in the US. Ford and GM are the last of the domestics. Soon we will just have Toyota, Honda, Mazda as the main auto suppliers because Ford and GM are in serious trouble as well. Ford is losing well over 100k per EV sold right now plus it has highest recalls so not looking good for them either. I do not want to see this happen, but American auto makers are in serious trouble and I do not see them getting another Tax paid bail out again. Our Government is out of control and the people need to regain control over it especially the EPA!!!
These vehicles have become far too complex. They are designed to fail, designed to be thrown away. It's not just a RAM, Dodge, Chrysler, Stellantis... It's all of them. It's every piece of tech you buy. It's TV's, Ovens, Washing machines, fridges, freezers. Everything you buy!
Maybe they are trying to compete with Ford for the most recalls.
The modules and irregular problems issue goes back years. My renegade had to be lemon lawed because of it. My Wrangler now every once and a blue moon does it
I’m waiting on my 2025 tungsten 1500. Will I have those problems? When will this truck be built?
These issues exist in all the major manufacturers. Changed a wiring harness in a ford truck and it barely reaches. It’s a cutting cost issue. 6” of more wire times 1 million trucks adds up
Stellantis is running Chrysler into the ground.
I was thinking of buying a 2025 Ram.. If the quality is worse then I will keep what I have. I really wanted that I6 turbo.
Same here. Im not doing it now. Thanks to these guys, great info. Prob saved me alot of headache.
In 2019 I bought a new ram . It was nothing but problems
I worked at warren truck and most of there parts come from plants in Mexico
What parts? Hemi engines were built there, but the body parts are made in Sterling Heights.
@@garyszewc3339 no the body parts are made at Warren truck. They have their own stamping Sterling Heights makes their own body parts and JNAPS body parts for the grand Cherokee and Durango.
Soon as the UAW contract went through these brands hit the turbo button trying to find any way to move to cheaper areas.
They can afford the wage increases its not even up to old standards
@@ronburgundy4375Someone gets it
@@ronburgundy4375 They can deffinetly afford it, just they don't want to.
This info is priceless. Thank you for sharing. Frankly, it scares the heck out of me. The practices going on here ruins companies.
Same exact thing going on with the wrangler. I status numbers been extremely high for a couple years now
Ram was already in a sad position with low sales from high prices and the general drop in quality over the years. The Hemi in the 1500 was really one of the last things that really made them a compelling and viable option for a lot of people since the Titan was discontinued and Toyota dropped their V8. Without that many traditional truck forks aren't going to pay the kind of money Stellantis is forcing Ram to demand of their customers and will hop ship to GM or Ford. I hate Ford with a passion, but if something ever happens to my 2014 Ram I think an F-150 with the Coyote would be what I replace it with. The Ram was my late grandfather's truck, and as much as he hated Ford he'd probably approve considering the circumstances. Screw Stellantis....
Thanks to the UAW
@@gapperx9068 this really doesn't have much to do with them. Whatever benefits they got from the strike can easily be covered by shaving a tiny bit off of the corporate profit that's going to the executives. Stellantis's CEO got a nice pay bump in the midst of all of this, so anything they say about the union forcing them to do anything financially is BS. They are getting ready to go in on EVs which is going to have a WAY bigger impact.
@@DJ2226 maybe, but the UAW supports genetial mutilation in children, illegal immigration and a whole bunch of other stuff. So I dont really give them too much credit for anything.
I had an 06 ram with more problems than it should (engine failure at 47K). When I got another truck I bought a Ford and it's 7 years old without any issues other than tires and battery replacment. So you can diss ford but they work. Ram don't.
@@aday1637 Powertech engine? Those 4.7s and 3.7s were known to be problematic, lots of sludge and overheating issues. I think they fixed a lot of the issues with the 4.7 by the time 2013 rolled around, but the 3.6 replaced it.
For all the good unions did for this country they are hurting us far worse
Nobody wants a Stellantis P.O.S. company. STELLANTIS IS DONE!!!
Maybe its the UAW.
Commie unions suck.
Thank you for the content Butter? You think this would be grounds for some kind of lawsuit against Stellantis?
Have the same issue with the modules in my trx. And I’m not about to take it to the dealer to have then disassemble and scratch up everything, I’m going to figure the problem out myself and fix it.
Did you see Matt Maran's video? His 25 Ram to review was littered with electrical issues! Interesting.....
One of the huge issues at least at the Toledo assembly is they have eliminated so many jobs that a job that three people used to do is now being done by one person! With the line running top speed it does not take a genius to figure out that that will do nothing but create issues. Bolts being missed or not as tight as it should be etcetera and that leads to a domino effect. Then they shut down quality.
It felt like they were doing self-sabotage from the get-go.
Many of the workers have been on the assembly line for several years. To think they’ve become incompetent overnight when new parts come in is a spit in the face of the workers
I work at the Toledo Wrangler and gladiator factory in the exact same thing is happening there. Self-sabotage shutting down quality, having people do a job that three people used to do without slowing the line down which can only lead to quality issues, making it so people are burned out by working 7 days a week 10 hours a day, not letting people take sick days with doctors notes, and many other issues. It's only been obvious for some of us what they are trying to do by having people quit create an attendance issue and creating quality issues I just hope our local sees it too.
But hey...they won Fain's contract raise!...what's to complain about?
@@ekimbrough1413 contract doesn't do you any good if they move out of the country

How TRUE, HOW true....
It’s Bullshit I’m at Toledo JEEP we make wrangler…. They put us on 7 days 10hrs no quality standards… they ship everything
I worked at the Mazda CX-50/ Corolla Cross plant..we worked 5 14 hour days
I'm an electrician at JNAP, well at least for a few more days since I fu*king hate that job. This shit is on both labor and management. At least at JNAP, people don't care. They purposely misload parts. The TL's can't train newbies because they're not trained themselves. Lest we forget the electrician that used to work the line next to mine got busted sleeping 4 separate times that I know of. Since giys didn't want to do any TMS when they were in on OT or during down time, they threw both rear door lines on me. So now I'm running 2 making the same damn wage as a guy working 1. My bosses have ZERO business being their position. Just got a fresh one last week. Told me he'd been doing this all of his life, so I give him my standard question I give every new boss that comes through. What's the difference between a crescent wrench and a combination wrench??? He couldn't tell me which told me he was full of it. The entire industry is like this though. The saddest part of the industry is it seems you only have a small handful of people who seem to actually give a shit. Last year my old boss who really busted his ass to learn after getting forced into the position (he was a PLC Engineer forced to run a maintenance crew), who used to go to all those meetings the big wigs have. He would come back and tell me shit that would be discussed. The French came over around that time to tour the plants. Apparently they do not like JNAP and WTAP at all. There's times we can't have replacement parts from the crib. I've been screaming for 4 years for training on this or that, we get lip service and promises, but it never happens. If it does happen only certain people are allowed to go. I spent 12 years at DTE at Monroe Power Plant prior to this and I'm blown away at how bush league the automotive industry is compared to them. I feel badly for workers in assembly because those people do bust ass, plus they gotta deal with all the crap the other shops let go through on top of what they gotta deal with. In this instance, I would shut that line down and notify every damn media outlet that would listen. Then if Stellantis wants to fire me, they can explain all of that in the media.
Working with overseas engineers is a massive pain, just a constant misunderstanding and the resulting work is a mismash of work that doesn't integrate well without a lot of redoing. Amazing how all this extra headache and revisions to make it right can still be cheaper?
For the thousandth time Stellantis is Liquidating Chrysler Corp to get the Jeep Brand. Just like Chrysler did to American Motors Corp to what get the 4 wheel drive technology and the Jeep Brand. Tell me I'm wrong.
Wish they would just sell off Dodge and Chrysler rather than wreck the brand.
@@tellucas this is how competitor company's steel patented technologies and Brands.
@@Jon-O. Sad the employees and consumers have to suffer that ride.
Dodge will survive....RAM will be reintigrated into Dodge, or become a vestige of Jeep.
I have equated this deal (Fca to Stellantis )to similarities in sears/Kmart where the music needs to play long enough until whatever perceived value can be extracted. It's entirely possible Stellantis has no intention of pulling back on purpose from US market, but products definitely moving towards European feel with typical high prices. The natural consequence will be less sales, less dealers, less north American manufacturing and this might be the end plan.
One thing is for certain: if any fatal accidents happen, you’re gonna have a bunch of whistleblowers from the UAW come forward and point their fingers at Carlos Tavares.
Let’s see if he has the resources that “Boeing” does
Is the 2022 Ram 1500 3.6 L is gonna have in issue?
I neither trust Stellantis or the UAW. They can both kick rocks.
Did you catch that.. when he said the whole company is demonic. I'm not surprised that they treat their employees like garbage, when they have names like Hell Cat, Demon, Warlock, Alchemy..
Found the religious nutjob 😂
"Never attribute to malice what can properly be attributed to stupidity"
Butter, the harness issue is an engineering problem, not a management problem. Well, OK, it is a management problem in that the management didn't ask if the harnesses had sufficient service loops and extra lengths, so the management had allocated insufficient design review oversight, but the engineering team relied on a Computer Aided Design (CAD) tool to determine harness lengths and never checked a real cable's build on an actual piece of real car in prototype form to verify the harness lengths determined by the CAD were correct.
This was the exact issue that caused the Airbus A380 to see a 24 month service delivery delay because the harnesses of the infotainment systems in the cabin were a few millimeters too short, so the harness plugs never connected to their respective jacks on the avionics. The entire set of cables had to be redesigned and it set them back 24 months.
Sounds like Stellantis is re-inventing the engineering wheel . . . . . . .
You missed the part at the end when he said lets talk about that tornado. That day was insane
I call Bulls--t on this wire harness problem. If the security lock tab on the connectors are intact it won't come apart Period ! If you are pulling wire from the connector end It's not Connectors Not Being Attached properly.
No way I’d purchase a new vehicle from Stellantis. It’s becoming quite clear what their agenda is. No matter what’s said about “brotherhood”. That’s all marketing fluff. Adding DLC for overpriced vehicles, getting rid of V8s. Hope Pontiac comes back because I’d take a firebird 🐦🔥 or GTO
Pontiac will NEVER EVER come back. GM promised the government, before taking billions in taxpayer money, that Pontiac is dead, buried and part of history. They don't want any would be Pontiac sales taking sales away from Chevrolet, Buick, or Cadillac. Oh by the way, people aren't even buying the Camaros anymore. Chevrolet canceled it, again. Buy a Mustang.
I mean all I’m gonna say is “American Built” doesn’t mean what it used to anyways.
Has not for the past 10 years.
Made in China/Mexico assembled in America……what could go wrong
A nation's key businesses should not be given to foreign interests...simple
Kinda funny that all the sudden All of the major auto companies are having reliability issues just saying
Last 3 times I took my bronco to the dealership something was wrong with it
Just wanted to get the oil changed
I will never go back to a dealership ever again
Boycott All dealerships All of them
It's time for them to go belly up
I'll never buy another new Dodge vehicle again. Keep my Challenger RT and that's it. RIP DODGE ☠️
Same. I've been daily driving my '15 Challenger R/T since new. Best car I've ever owned and I'll miss it dearly when I have to sell it someday. I doubt I'll buy another Mopar to replace it. That might not even be an option soon. Sad state of affairs.
Same here, I traded my 2017 F-150 (great truck, not a thing wrong with it) for a 2022 R/T, because I wanted one last Hemi, but after this, I'll go back to Ford.
Ram is separate from Dodge.
@@samourlian2801it is but it isn’t at the same time. It’s all under the Stelantis umbrella.

I ain’t buy dodge anytime soon . And no Hemi no deal . I just rebuild my magnum motor for the second time . And I’m looking to buy a low mileage SRT8 Magnum . As I rebuild my RT to new .
Those harness connections don't actually pull apart, the shortest wires in the connector will rip out of the connector. We called those TPOs (terminal push outs), and if you have short wiring in a harness you will have issues, some in plant, some later in the field.
We didn't know it at the time but CDJR died on July 25th 2018; the same day Sergio Marchionne passed. It's been all downhill since then. Dead man walking.
Stellantis is loaded with issues with the jeep wrangler and gladiator line with paint corrosion. Jeeps having to have all new paint jobs because of it. My 21 gladiator is just starting it. The 3.6l engine needing new cams and lifters with less than 20k miles.
With competition so tough you got to deliver quality vehicles. My 23 Ram been trouble free. It’s sad but not surprising that Ram looking to outsource for cheaper labor.
Stalantis , Not RAM, Stalantis- the European corporation is looking to outsource for cheap labor-
They’re out to destroy our American brands- I believe the UAW, why would they sabotage their own jobs- those across the pond are out to destroy these Mopar brands
Ive had my 2025 ram 1500 bighorn almost a week. and so far i haven't any issue...love the power and comfort and im getting 23mpg compared to the 17mpg i was getting in my 2022 hemi challenger.
That’s cool. I seen they already discounted the 25. I got a 23 hemi been wonderful.
My 2017 has averaged over 30 mpg for 172,000 miles. Had to replace a glow plug recently, thats it. Keeping it.
As a Quality Engineer on the 787, same stuff, different day. There is a procedure to address quality issues as they arise. READ THE DOCUMENT AND START FOLLOWING IT.
I’ve seen this coming based on the things I’ve read, seen in the auto news and been told by worker I know here in metro Detroit! It’s going to be a sad day coming soon! I recalled seeing an early review and test run on YT of the Dodge hornet, in a situation which was to test the AWD feature, a module/ computer through a type of code basically froze up. Now, that’s a strong indicator of the trouble the Stellantis vehicles are in.
Great broadcast and breakdown, with conversations from the actual workers, thanks 🙏🏽 sir salute!
That was TFL and they came back with all their higher ups to prove the situation is impossible to ever happen again. LOL.
Yeah its over for all the Dodge, Jeep, Ram, Chrysler brands. Dodge and Chrysler will be the first ones to fall and then Ram and Jeep are next. Stellantis ruined these companies.
Butter Da Insider Friend keep up the great work on this information 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💪💪💪💪
I currently have a Toyota Tundra which isn't available in HD. I've been eyeing the 2500 Rebel V8. This truck would have been perfect for my needs. However, I don't need all of the possible problems associated with Ram.
I would have loved to see them make a V8 hybrid to compete with 2500s/250s, but Nissan tried with the 5.0 Cummins Titan XD but there was no market for a 5/8th Ton pick up lol
I have a 2023 Ram Rebel and my rear defroster was unplugged/not plugged in. I also work for a company the supplies jeep rear seats and the JL/electric jeep rear seat has been pulled from our company
STALLANTIS SUCKS!!!!
If I could give Stallantis 10B thumbs down I would. Stallantis is going to end all of the American brands, long live Belvedere!
"Stellantis".
@@k.c.marshall921 It's a fake made up word, like the cars they over charge us for.
Think about this.... Fired a bunch of engineers and their fucking over employees... Shame on them
Considering people dont want EV's and are not buying them maybe Elon should buy Chrysler back! Then build what Americans want V8's not EV
elon gets money from a tax on ice engine companies that dont meet the government mpg standards they are fined and elon gets part of that money its all a scam by the democrat party wake up!
Iconic American auto brands being stripped and sold to euros is starting to seem a bit treas0nous as the years go on
Tesla has garbage QC and hates unions
Chrysler should replace Buick at GM, Dodge can replace Pontiac, Rams can be sold side-by-side with Silverados, and Jeep could fill in what Hummer left behind.
@@jamesmcallen3354Nah , Tesla have become the best Ev maker for sure after Toyota evs , and unions are a little problematic for free market
They are doing the same thing with the Jeep grand Cherokee and the PHEV (Electric) models at the DACM... Our IStatus is 3300+ at the moment and our build is ½ SHAP's
2018 Ram 3500 Laramie, 2021 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon and 2022 Ram 1500 limited owner. Only issue I had was with the DEF injection nozzle crystallized from not using the diesel truck enough. Never will have that issue again!
I was thinking about trading the 22 Ram for a 25 model with the HO Hurricane-Not anymore!
They should be able to do something as far as a union goes if they're trying to protect them some antitrust laws some unfair trade practices cuz the union is for United States workers not from workers in France
