On 10/10/2024, my Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe (hybrid) had a battery fire at my home. Luckily, the fire department got it controlled before any additional property or any people were harmed, but under slightly different circumstances (middle of the night or parked in the garage) the house would have burned and my entire family could have been killed. After this incident, I read that Jeep/Stallantis issued a recall for this issue 10/1, but no timely attempt to contact owners was made.
The contact rented a 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that while driving 60 MPH, smoke was emitting from under the hood and entered the vehicle through the A/C vents. Other drivers were also waving down the contact attempting to notify there was smoke. The contact pulled over to the side of and immediately exited the vehicle. Shortly after there was an explosion and the vehicle caught on fire. No warning lights were illuminated. The contact and his daughter did not sustain any injuries.
