Sometimes, a company breaks an arcane rule preventing businesses from annoying consumers over the phone, and one of the people on its call list happens to be a tenacious law a student.According to court documents, the dogged student, Miriam Grigorian, received a voicemail from FCA U.S. (which now belongs to the Stellantis empire) in 2018 about a hot deal on the Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid.
