Stellantis Chief Executive Carlos Tavares resigned abruptly on Sunday, two months after a profit warning at the maker of Jeep, Fiat, and Peugeot cars that has lost around 40% of its value this year.

The company said it would seek to find a replacement CEO in the first half of 2025. Senior Independent Director Henri de Castries said in a statement that different views emerged in recent weeks among major shareholders, the board, and Tavares resulting in the CEO’s resignation.

Stellantis said in a statement on Sunday that its board, including Chairman John Elkann, accepted the CEO’s resignation “with immediate effect” and that a new interim executive committee, chaired by Elkann, would be established.

Previously regarded as one of the most respected executives in the auto industry, Tavares’ approach came under scrutiny after slumping sales in North America led the automaker in September to issue a profit warning on its 2024 results.

That included a forecast for a cash burn of up to 10 billion euros ($10.6 billion), mostly due to slow sales and bloating inventories in its North American market, the group’s profit powerhouse.

A Dad pulls his son to the side. He’s about to leave and his Dad asks, “Son, do you have protection?”  Son, daughter, wife, or even yourself, don’t go off-road without protection!

We’ve told you about rock sliders to protect the rockers and door bottoms of your Jeep, but it doesn’t end there.

Many Jeeps come with thin plastic front and rear bumpers.

I believe the first bumper to replace with a metal one is the front, and with the capacity to add a winch.

Jeep Talk Show Gladiator Update

My wife was driving home from her parents and she called to report an axle tramp.  What a great name for a 90’s band.

Google says…

“Axle tramp is a self-sustaining vibration in a vehicle’s driven axle that occurs when the right and left wheels hop out of phase. It’s often caused by heavy braking or acceleration, but can also be triggered by rough roads or tire failure.”

I’ve never experienced this before and certainly didn’t know it had a name.
