Stellantis on the Brink: Sales Collapse as Jeep, Ram, and Chrysler Struggle to Survive

Disaster Strikes at Stellantis! In a shocking revelation, Stellantis has reported a catastrophic 20% drop in shipments for the third quarter of 2024, sending shockwaves through the automotive industry. The conglomerate, home to some of the biggest names in the car world—Jeep, Ram, Dodge, and Chrysler—is watching its empire crumble as sales nosedive across almost every brand.

In the latest quarter, Stellantis shipped only 305,294 vehicles, a significant drop from last year’s figures. The most surprising part? Even their powerhouse brand, Jeep, known for rugged reliability, couldn’t escape the bloodbath. Jeep’s sales were down 6% to 144,963 units in Q3, marking an overall 8% decline for the year. But Jeep isn’t alone in its struggles. Ram’s once-iconic trucks plummeted by 19% in Q3, with year-to-date sales dropping a jaw-dropping 24% to just 309,718 units.

Even Chrysler, once a titan in the industry, has been reduced to a single model—the Pacifica minivan—as the demise of the 300C left the brand in tatters. Chrysler’s sales fell by a staggering 47%, raising serious concerns about the brand’s future. And Dodge? It sold a Dart, yes—a single Dart—but overall, Dodge’s demand crashed 43% in Q3.

Alfa Romeo, despite adding the new Tonale to its lineup, is also in deep trouble, seeing its sales nosedive by 29% this quarter. All in all, Stellantis has now fallen below the one-million-unit mark for the year in the U.S., a near-unthinkable position for one of the world’s largest automakers.

“Mounting Chaos Behind the Scenes”

This dire state of affairs hasn’t gone unnoticed by the U.S. Stellantis National Dealer Council, which fired off a scathing letter to CEO Carlos Tavares, accusing him of presiding over the “rapid degradation” of the company. The letter was blunt, stating that market share had been “slashed nearly in half,” plants were closing, key executives were fleeing, and layoffs were rampant.

“Your own distribution network, your dealer body, has been left in an anemic and diminished state,” the letter blasted, pointing fingers squarely at Tavares for the company’s collapse. Lawsuits from investors, suppliers, and employee strikes are piling up, painting a grim picture for the automaker’s future.

“A Company in Crisis”

Stellantis recently admitted it has too many unsold cars sitting idle in the U.S. and aims to reduce that stock to 330,000 vehicles by the end of the year. This comes on the heels of CEO Tavares acknowledging a quality problem plaguing the company, especially with Ram trucks, many of which need repairs right after leaving the assembly line.

As the company crumbles, rumors swirl about Tavares’ future. While Stellantis Chairman John Elkann has confirmed the search for a replacement is underway, insiders claim that Tavares will stay until 2026—or possibly even longer, despite the crisis engulfing his tenure.

With collapsing sales, unsold cars stacking up, and lawsuits mounting, Stellantis is in uncharted waters. Can the company weather the storm and stage a comeback, or are its glory days fading into history? Only time will tell if Stellantis can pull off a miracle to prevent further decline.
