Chrysler Confirms Jeep Cherokee Is Facing Production Delays

Chrysler confirmed Thursday that the 2014 Jeep Cherokee production launch has been delayed about one month, but assured dealers they will have ample inventory of the midsize SUV by fall.

“We did start with an initial scheduled plan of the third week in May, and now we are into mid-June,” Mark Chernoby, Chrysler’s senior vice president of engineering, told the Free Press. “That is just due to a wide range of issues.”

A face only a Mother could love. What were they thinking and what genius approved this? Too bad. Cherokee was a great model within the Jeep franchise.

The production delays are because the UAW autoworkers are probably still out in the park smoking their pot, drinking beer for lunch. Otherwise, it's because they are talking with their shop foreman about not working if they don't get their vending machines with pot dispensed from them.Either way - I would run from the second coming of the next Pontiac Aztec. Rebates galore!!

Whether it's a joke or not, that's just not a fair thing to say. While there are bad apples in every org, I am sure there are a ton of good, hardworking folks at Chrysler Group's facilities.
