The worst* make of cars is now hoping to fuck over their consumers even more.
* can't change the fucking battery unless you take half the fucking engine area apart.
Really? My battery is under my spare in the trunk.
My lithium batteries on the other hand I think you have to remove the back seats to access, but I honestly hope I can afford to trade it in before I need it.
I mean, you low key proving OPs point. That is a pain in the ass to get to. For basically, forever it's been under the hood in the front, and the easiest thing to get to.
A pain in the ass was Chrysler's brilliant idea to put the battery in the wheel well. You have to take the tire off, remove the fender liner then pray the hold down bolts don't break (they will) then deal with trying to get the cables off with hardly any room.
Wow. Brilliant minds from Stellantis hard at work
