Ma Mopar has not been a good mommy for a long time now!
That's because it's now Father Fiat.
I believe it started long before Fiat
I got my first parts counterman job in 1978, at Kay Chrysler Plymouth Imperial. The Direct Connection program was already dysfunctional. The mostly vendor based items were usually available, but the corporate items were always weeks to months out. I retired last year, and it is neither worse or better, than 1978. 40 years of bs.
