Lol. You really sound so sure of yourself. You do understand insurance companies are notorious for finding ways to not pay claims, right? If you believe they are going to pay a claim on a fire that was caused by your negligence after not following a recall advisory, I got a bridge to sell you...

It's most likely another owner brought it to the attention of the HOA manager. Karens are everywhere. I don't know what it works out to as a percentage, but this is going to be a lot of 21-25 owners. A lot of us live in condos or rent apts. Also probably a lot of single family renters that are...

They are out there. I found a Facebook post of a guy in a similar situation but street parking is available. He has a townhouse in a "bad area" and is being forced out of his garage. He refuses to park on the street but I don't think he will have a choice. See option 2 and 3 from my previous...

Would be nice but it won't change anything.

Well, yeah... They do control my actions. They can have my vehicle towed...I'd rather avoid that and will be parking outside for the next 6 months I guess. I have 3 choices really: 1. Park outside 2. Sell it at a heavy loss 3. Move Don't like any of them but 1 is the least sucky... Thanks...

No one has them here...no ability to charge. I've heard about that 4xe recall but don't know the details of that one. Let me guess...another fab issue?

No paranoia here... As mentioned, I was good with doing a battery disconnect. My association was not. Not my choice.

Listen, I don't doubt you're an attorney. But my association has it's own and they are telling us we can't park in our garages. This isn't my choice. Maybe read my previous posts before assuming things. There is no enjoying long walks over here...

Yep... That is the one bonus in the midst of this mess. Our Jeeps now have leprosy. At least we'll have a lower chance of door dings for the foreseeable future.😁

Well, they get one shot with me personally. You are right that it may end up being a bad fix. I may just get rid of it once the initial fix is complete to avoid that. But you're going to take about a 20% hit on top of the low resale value because of the recent pricing adjustments on new ones if...

Yep... Exactly what I would do because I would be next. Let's face it... This is going into next year before they get everyone inspected and/or repaired and there ARE going to be a few more fires. If it's someone parking inside, they will be financially ruined unless they're wealthy. And let's...

It's up to you to do what is necessary. If I lived in a dense environment, I would find a safer place to park it until it gets inspected/fixed and get a loaner/rental in the meantime.

I wouldn't do it. Stellantis is no longer liable if you park in a structure. In fact, they aren't liable if the car next to you is destroyed as well. Whether they parked next to you or you parked next to them makes no difference. I would recommend parking well away from other vehicles in a...

That makes sense but I don't know how much stock I would put in what AI is saying. I've noticed several searches where AI is mixing up this recall and the 4xe battery recall. Some of the feedback was actually pretty hilarious.😆

No...definitely not! Lol! I'm sure the attorney told them to abide by the recall as currently stated. Everyone that has a JL that is part of this recall and lives in a condo or apt will be going through this. There is no way around it. I was actually thinking to myself last night as I was taking...

I'm not sure either as I didn't design it. But I know that has been an issue in my past experience.... Residual charge from capacitors. Depending on the size of a capacitor, discharging one can kill you!

This is actually my profession and what you are saying is correct on the surface. The only thing that I could see is a capacitor holding a charge that could still result in this high resistance fire, but I'm not sure where that would be. Maybe someone with some insight on the design of this...

Yep. And that's what they're doing. I was just forced outside by my condo association. They discussed it with several dealerships and were told by all that disconnecting the battery is not acceptable. Sun damage, hail damage, vandalism, break-ins... Here we go...

That is unnecessary. This is an electrical issue with a connector being manufactured out of tolerance. It is the high resistance condition that results in the fire, not the ambient heat in the engine compartment. The only way to 100% guarantee no fire is to disconnect the battery...no power, no...

If anyone decides to do the battery disconnect, make sure your doors are locked before disconnecting. They removed the tailgate locks on our models (w/ power locks) and there is no way to manually lock it. You will have to reconnect the battery to lock it if you forget. Now that I think of it...
