Jeep sales hit record high in July - WNWO NBC 24
July was a record-setting month for Jeep sales -- up 22. 9 percent from July of 2014. Jake Mallett, a sales manager for Yark Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram, says the trend is especially true in Northwest Ohio. It's also a four-wheel drive vehicle for the wintertime. They're both great Toledo-made vehicles," he said. Michael Glynn just leased a new Jeep last month. Glynn says he's been driving Jeep vehicles for several years. It's a trend many are taking part in despite recent negative publicity for Jeep's parent company Fiat Chrysler. news of recalls, which include some Jeeps, and a recent Wired Magazine story showing how a Jeep Cherokee can be hacked remotely. A separate sales representative at Yark said they receive plenty of questions about the hack, and to an extent the recalls, but says most customers are satisfied with what Fiat Chrysler is doing about the issues. As a result, they do not believe any of the negative publicity will break Jeep's streak of 22 consecutive months of increased sales. Fiat Chrysler has said fixing the remote hack issue is relatively simple.
