“The contact owns a 2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that her husband was running an errand. The contact stated that he had parked the vehicle and had turned it off. When the contact's husband returned to the vehicle, he observed that smoke had filled the passenger cabin and smoke was being emitted from under the driver's side wheel well and from under the hood on the driver's side. The contact stated that her husband had not observed any warning or indication when he had parked the vehicle that it was overheating. The contact stated that he had opened the driver's side front door to retrieve personal items, and then the vehicle burst into flames on the driver's side front. The contact stated that the fire department had been called and used a chemical foam to extinguish the fire. The vehicle was towed to an impound lot and had not been repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure and requested that the contact leave the vehicle at the impound lot and that they would send an investigator to examine the vehicle.
