Chrysler recalls 320,000 Jeep plug-in hybrids due to faulty battery that can catch fire

I don’t usually comment but... I think this is super concerning . I mean, 320k vehicles are a lot and if there’s even a small chance of fires, it's huge. I've got a friend who owns a Jeep Wrangler and they were thinking of buying another one because of how much he loves the brand, but now that I know about this recall...

I don’t know what Samsung SDI America is doing to fix this, but it seems like they need to step up their game . And what's up with NHTSA not notifying owners sooner? December 2nd is gonna be a busy day for customer service calls I imagine...

Anyway, gotta say, I hope the fixes come soon and that no one gets hurt in these fires . Chrysler needs to do better than this

A car that can catch on fire from a battery fail - what's next? A toaster that can launch bread into orbit?! ️ [Image of a toaster blasting off into space]

omg, like what?! faulty batteries in jeep plug-in hybrids?! that's so not good at all... i mean, i get it, cars can be finicky, but a fire hazard? that's major . and to think they're gonna have to go through this whole process again for owners who've already had issues before... ugh, just the thought of it is giving me headaches . anyway, hope chrysler gets this sorted out ASAP . and can we talk about how confusing the language is? like, "interim notification letters" ? what even is that supposed to mean?
