Merrillville Police Chief Criticizes Stellantis Over Faulty Durango Pursuits​

Department Faces Financial Loss Due To Oil Cooler Failures...​


Merrillville, Indiana, Police Chief Konstantinos Nuses has publicly criticized Stellantis, the parent company of Dodge, after a series of engine failures with the department’s Dodge Durango Pursuit vehicles. The vehicles purchased to help the department navigate supply chain disruptions during the pandemic have been taken out of service due to a design flaw in their oil coolers. As a result, Nuses says the department has been forced to sell them at a “significant financial loss,” leaving taxpayers to bear the burden.

 
What a disgrace. Does this euro wizard company have anyone in public relations or marketing that would offer some input as to how bad this makes the company look in the public eye? Sometimes it’s better to just write it off and make it right with the customer but Stell anus obviously didn’t get that memo. Ask yourself- what do you think of when the Stellantis “brands” are mentioned today? Overpriced. Outdated. Spotty quality control. A follower, never an innovator, dealer body that is miserable to deal with. And I should consider these products- why???? Because I loved the cars from decades ago when they were still more than a “brand”?
