Stellantis is apparently at war with its own quality problems. The automaker has set up nearly 50 so-called “quality war rooms” and hired thousands of engineers to address lingering issues, with CEO Antonio Filosa promising the problems are being fixed “very, very, very quickly.” That is certainly one way of doing quality control.
Speaking at the Automotive News Congress in Detroit, Filosa acknowledged that Stellantis has had quality problems and said the company is attacking them with an unusually large-scale effort. Rather than letting issues work their way through the usual corporate machinery, the company has created dedicated war rooms to identify and fix problems.
