French owned, Portuguese driven, Stellantis is killing Jeep etc...

Perhaps we are fortunate there was enough tradition within Jeep to produce the current iconic and unequaled off-road vehicles we all enjoy. Unfortunately those of us who crave that appear to be a minority. How much longer can this continue when unit sales and shareholder return determine future models.
 
“The cause of the fire was determined to be related to the vehicle’s lithium-ion battery charging system.”

I expect to see a recall since this is not an isolated case.
I thought there was a recall on these and they told the owners to NOT charge them until they were fixed. Unless the fix didn’t fix anything. BTW the article says the burned up Jeep caused around 275K dollars damage because it torched the cars around it and the charging station as well I presume. Thats a pretty major aww shit.
 
A recall implies that there is a solution. But almost all batteries are made in China. With a sole source it is difficult to provide an alternate solution.
Uhhhhh not really. A recall states there’s a problem. Usually safety but sometimes something else. When they recalled the tecata airbags there was no solution other than to tell people not to drive their vehicles. The 4xe solution was to not charge the battery
 
As most know, I currently own 9 Jeeps and have always been a HUGE fan of them. However, all their woke advertising and push for products that nobody is asking for is making it hard for me to still like the brand. If they continue down this path, I don't know if I'll buy any more new Jeeps in the future and that really bums me out.
Ditto...this will be next IF I purchase another vehicle.

Obviously, I’m a fan of Jeep but can’t stand the current leadership. They literally couldn’t give two shits about their base and are just focused on stupid shit. It’s almost like they’ve been trying to get rid of guys like me.

Yep, pissing off the base is not the best idea. And their leadership has no grip on what that base is - they need a US native to understand it.
Be like hiring a Jeep guy from Toledo to run Maserati.
