Just don't get the Pentastar engine if you do go that route. Bad juju there.

Daughter has a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee - Hemi, that car has had more expensive repairs in the shortest time period of any other car I've ever heard of....seems we've finally thrown enough money down its gullet that its been behaving recently. She loves the car or I would have set fire to it myself. Glad you are OK, I had one car fire in the garage in 2016 and haven't unpuckered yet.

My wife had a 2018 Grand Cherokee Limited that was absolutely flawless for about 30k miles before she traded it for a 2021 Lincoln Aviator. That's why my daughter decided to buy the Jeep, even though it was the first year of the complete redesign. Run away! |

Does Jeep still use the organic wire coverings that mice like the eat? Seems like a real bad electrical short.

Also, as an automotive guy, I would not recommend any Jeep product unless you lease it or get rid of it in about 3 years or 30k miles. They are basically a poorly finished version of an Audi or BMW with the same problems attached. Nice for the very short term, with good seats, power, ergonomics, etc. But very expensive past the 3 year, 30-40k mile mark. |

@jw38 most of my problems with My grand cherokee L was the telemetics module within the uconnect system. I was constantly fighting that system. My Jeep was in shop 10 timesin first 6 months. You certainly have a case against Jeep if you want to pursue. The Facebook group for Jeeps Grand cherokee Ls also provides lots of evidence for how shitty the new ones are.

Not at all, backed up by studies..
One study is by miles driven and the other one is by vehicles sold. In BOTH studies, EV's showed a significantly lower fire risk. Both studies were in scale using different scales (fires by vehicles sold and the other one by miles driven). https://www.torquenews.com/14335/tes...often-gas-cars https://auto.hindustantimes.com/auto...163361677.html https://www.drive.com.au/news/tesla-...atives-report/ https://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/enviro...0%2C000%20sold. https://www.autoinsuranceez.com/gas-...ric-car-fires/ Now please, post up any studies that show otherwise.. |

Tell that to the 8 year old kid in Africa mining cobalt. Guess you'll find something on the internet to prove it's not true because, you know, everything is real on the internet. I forgot. I have you on ignore on CF. Bye-Bye IDIOT! |

I'm not going to shut up. My posts are based on facts, not emotion. I get it, many people dislike EV's and many or most of them oppose them because they think that they are "LIBERAL" which is total BS. If you are so worried about Cobalt use, why don't you throw away your smartphone and don't buy one again.. There is just as much cobalt in consumer electronics than in EVs. |

They will suggest that every single study that doesn't represent their view is not trustworthy and biased, yet don't have any study from any source they like that shows otherwise..

Furthermore, studies wouldn't be conducted if a)nobody was willing to financially back it, b) no scientist identifies a need to study such information c) that the math of the topic doesn't support such ridiculous studies. Ask yourself how many more HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS of gas/diesel cars are there in existence compared to EVs, and then ask yourself how the numbers your so called "studies" use are in any way representative of actual data...and them get back to me. |
