Sun- Jeep urges 194,000 plug-in hybrid SUV owners to stop charging and park outdoors due to fire risk
Jeep is recalling more than 194,000 plug-in hybrid SUVs worldwide because they can catch fire with the ignition turned off. In addition, Jeep is urging owners not to charge the SUVs and to park them outdoors and away from structures until they are repaired.
Time to give one to Gibeault and see where he parks it?
Those jeeps are really nice. Neighbor paid a premium for one a year and a half ago. They’re down to $60k and falling fast. I think he paid over $80,000.
Waiting to see if he parks in the street tonight.
Bright side: if the power grid goes down during a Canadian winter, exploding hybrids can provide cooking fires for weeks on end.
Sure. Go ahead with toxic fumes. BROILING EVs cant be green…
Many on line car experts are saying that Ram, Dodge, Jeep will soon be bankrupt and gone…some are saying on purpose by stilantis or however you spell that stupid car conglomerate.
Another old and cherished American icon, Chrysler will now be a thing of the past.
At GM, Buick and GMC are apparently also going the way of the dodo bird, leaving only Chevrolet and Cadillac.
Ford is thinking of reviving the Edsel name, so to move all their EV’s under one dying umbrella…lol
Some auto market watchers have said Stellantis numbers are now approaching critical… in July they had a 5 months supply of unsold vehicles on the lots.
To me, that sounds like a bailout is near, either by the gov’t or by those holding their trading stocks…

No Buicks? What are blind old ladies going to drive?
Walter Chrysler was a up from nowhere Master mechanic and organizational genius in many fields. The Elon Musk of his day. Chrysler in its first 50 years was known for advanced engineering. Rubber body and engine mounts, airflow designs, fast, powerful, electric ignition, unibody.
Then as so many times a applied company is taken over by MBA forms and layers of oxygen thieving bean counters.
Pity
“…repaired.”
