So much for sold orders getting taken care of first! All the stories on allocation is B.S. Dodge is only building as they please. They just tell us what we want to here, but no actions follow to show they are implementing anything.

Ironside should email his story to Tim K and ask how things are fixed.

Not necessarily.....
We have Dodge/FCA peeps poking around in here all of the time. If it's posted on the forums, I'm sure they're aware. Just give them a chance to do something with the information they're collecting!

Here is an idea,
Dodge should pull the cars away from dealers if there sitting on the lot as stock units for more than 5 days and give it to people waiting. That would help the overcharging prices too! I am sure they rather give it away at msrp price then risk losing the car.

Good idea, but no way to enforce it. Dodge is doing the best they can with the tools they have.

Why can't Dodge pull the car. Dodge usually holds the finance of stock units on dealer lots if I am not mistaken. That's way dodge sends out auditor to do inventory checks to make sure cars are accounted for.

No, a bank will set up a "floor plan" for dealers. When the car arrives at the dealership, the bank is notified/invoiced by the manufacturer and issues payment to the manufacturer. Then the bank adds the amount to the dealerships' line of credit (floorplan) and it begins accruing interest until it's sold to a customer. Everything is computerized, and the car is removed from inventory when the customer takes delivery and removes it from the dealerships' inventory.
This is why the dealerships are actually Dodge's customers, not us.
