Jeep parent company Stellantis has acknowledged the issue. MSN reports, “They attributed the persistent nature of the ad to a temporary software glitch that affected the opt-out functionality in certain cases. The company assured that the glitch had been identified and corrected, and they are reaching out to affected customers to resolve the matter.”

Ya know, software can’t just make shit up. If there’s no ad to begin with it can’t suddenly create one and display it. Hey Stellantis, why the fuck are the any sort of ads at all loaded into the infotainment system?
