Jeep vehicles have begun displaying pop-up commercials on the infotainment screen.<ref>https://www.carscoops.com/2025/02/jeep-owners-complain-about-pop-up-ads-on-their-screens/ ([http://web.archive.org/web/20250510155921/https://www.carscoops.com/2025/02/jeep-owners-complain-about-pop-up-ads-on-their-screens/ Archived])</ref> This occurs each time the vehicle come to a full stop, and they cannot be disabled. This is a safety issue since such advertisements are highly distracting, and pose as a risk while driving.<ref>https://ackodrive.com/news/jeep-shows-pop-up-ads-to-users-in-the-infotainment-system/ ([http://web.archive.org/web/20251022135011/https://ackodrive.com/news/jeep-shows-pop-up-ads-to-users-in-the-infotainment-system/ Archived])</ref><ref name=":0" /> | |||

Automotive news outlet [https://www.thedrive.com/ TheDrive] reached out to Jeep regarding the on-screen pop-up ads and were provided the following response: | |||
https://www. | " This was an in-vehicle message designed to inform Jeep customers about Mopar extended vehicle care options. A temporary software glitch affected the ability to instantly opt out in a few isolated cases, though instant opt-out is the standard for all our in-vehicle messages. Our team had already identified and corrected the error, and we are following up directly with the customer to ensure the matter is fully resolved." <ref>{{Cite web |last=Jacobs |first=Caleb |date=2025-02-07 |title=Jeep Is Spamming Drivers With Extended Warranty Ads Through Uconnect Infotainment |url=https://www.thedrive.com/news/jeep-owners-say-pop-up-ads-for-extended-warranties-keep-blocking-their-touchscreens |website=TheDrive |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20260218081252/https://www.thedrive.com/ |archive-date=18 Feb 2026}}</ref>[[File:Jeep-ads-reddit.jpeg|alt=Jeep AD at stop|thumb|Jeep puts an ad covering entire screen <ref name=":0">{{Cite web |date=2025-02-05 |title=Jeep puts an ad covering my entire screen, and it comes back every time you stop even if you hit ok. |url=https://www.reddit.com/r/assholedesign/comments/1iij34r/jeep_puts_an_ad_covering_my_entire_screen_and_it/ |url-status=live |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20250206075610/https://old.reddit.com/r/assholedesign/comments/1iij34r/jeep_puts_an_ad_covering_my_entire_screen_and_it/ |archive-date=6 Feb 2025}}</ref>]] | ||
