What Is the Lawsuit Involving the Jeep Wrangler 4xe?
The class action lawsuit filed against Jeep and its parent company, Stellantis, centers on allegations that defects in the Jeep Wrangler 4xe can cause fires and explosions. Plaintiffs claim that the vehicle’s battery pack is prone to overheating, resulting in dangerous and potentially life-threatening situations. The lawsuit argues that Jeep failed to warn consumers about these risks adequately and did not take sufficient action to remedy the defects.
