This. I watched a youtube video of a guy in Oregon who's nearly new 2019 Jeep self-ignited and would have burned down the entire forest if he hadn't trenched around it and kept his head. Total loss, and did not take long. Cause was electrical somewhere at the firewall/dash on the driver's side. He saw smoke, got out, and it was on. Channel is Coyote Works.
Glad everyone is safe. Now buy something safe.

Really bad advice:

Thanks. Until now I wasn't entirely sure what a boob was.

How'd you do on this test?

Was also curious if you were going to pursue anything with the dealership regarding the fire although it would be pretty tough to forensically sift through that mess.

Great memory! My Audi SQ8 was stolen, along with 10 other vehicles, from a hotel in Houston. Ironically, whoever stole it, burned it.

I saw a pulmanologist today and he said I have a moderate case of smoke inhalation. I have an inhaler and I'm taking a steroid. Back to the doc next week. Jeep is aware and they said they'll do "everything to make it right" for my daughter and me. We shall see!

Nice, as a favor, gramps goes out and eliminates the PIA Cherokee by lighting it on fire under the guise of a problematic electrical issue. Now your insurance can pay for it,

The inconvenience stinks and of course the effects of inhaling vapored plastics but the peace of mind knowing your daughter and grands weren’t affected is worth it all and then some ..

Glad you're okay.
Has the cough subsided?
Has Jeep stepped up to the plate or are they making excuses?

You can post pics of burning Teslas all you want but it won't change the fact that a Tesla has 1/10 of the chance of catching fire than a gas car.
Yes, Teslas can burn as well but the fire risk is 90% lower.

But 100% of the guys driving them are flaming

So sorry you have gone through that, glad you were not majorly injured.

I lemoned my 21 Jeep GCL last year. Electrical issues, faulty parts, and improper assembly of the suspension is what helped me in my lawsuit. I was sueing stelantis for that. They settled with me and I got some money back and traded out of the Jeep.

Was highly disappointed with Jeep and the new GCL. I've owned several Jeeps prior with 0 issues. The new ones were just awful.

What an absurd statement.

Beautiful family. Hope you recover quickly.

My wife’s Jeep Cherokee has been a great vehicle. She’s considering an upgrade to the Grand Cherokee but y’all are giving me reason to think about it.
