Narrative

Wife took Jeep to dealership for recalls. Dropped it off, got a rental car. A short while later, dealership called to say Jeep had an electrical fire while on the charger at the dealership. Fire Dept called and Jeep was sent to salvage yard to "burn out." Total loss of vehicle. 2024 Jeep Wrangler 4xe High Altitude. Leased the vehicle new on 9/23/24. Just over 35K miles. Using a level 2 charger at home and no issues prior to this. Jeep Customer Care promised an investigation within 3-4 business days. Today is the 6th business day and still no contact from them. Multiple attempts to call them for update and no one will return our call. Ally financial says they can't do anything until investigation is complete. Personal insurance will cover, but should not have to, as this is a known issue and was at the Jeep dealership on their charger.
