Stellantis, the maker of Jeep, will start policing dealers' ads from October 1. The new policy aims to curb online discount ads, pushing consumers to call dealers for prices.

This change comes as the company seeks to stop dealers from advertising rock-bottom prices. Stellantis' decision is part of a broader effort by US automakers to regulate online pricing.
