It's a bug. Why should a software bug have an effect on a manufacturer's stock price? It's not like the update caused brake failures or something.

Learning that Stellantis pushes bugs that cause power and engine failure while driving should decrease demand for their cars.

Maybe do some research into the problem you're confidently asserting was trivial / read the article you're commenting on:

"...others claim to have experienced a powertrain failure at highway speeds."

lol, if being one of the least reliable car companies for decades didn't hurt their sales, why would this? They are also stupid overpriced for what they offer.

There's a reason their slogan is "(you don't understand), It's a jeep thing"

They're a lifestyle product and have been for decades. Most of Stellantis is.

Well, given that the article says it caused powertrain failures on the highway, I'd say it's severe enough that it should absolutely cause the manufacturer's stock to drop.
