NHTSA Complaint #11565692 — 2021 JEEP WRANGLER

Owners are advised not to recharge their vehicles and to park outside and away from structures until they are repaired. There are a few reasons why this should be a NON-Driveable recall. 1. The recall involves risk of fire and injury to those in or near the car or property. 2. It is a significant hardship to have to continuously park a car outside of the garage due to extreme cold. Often times homes/apartment buildings simply do not have outdoor parking. 3. It is also extremely challenging to find a place to park the car away from others when driving about town. How does one do that in busy parking lots and parking structures? This would be difficult in any state but far more pronounced in states with cold climates where the vast majority of parking areas are busy and often covered or enclosed. 4.If something catastrophic happened to the Hybrid battery system where the Hybrid system didn't work, you would essentially be stranded. This seems counterintuitive with a separate gas powertrain and separate Hybrid powertrain. 0% is still about 15% general operating condition for the electric assist. There is always some type of regen working to maintain that SOC. That is unacceptable for a dealership to treat this as it is and not notified the customers when or what could be done.
