Marion reached out to Action 9 because at the time of the fire, the Jeep pick-up truck was under a recall for an issue that put it under the risk of fire. The Jeep Gladiator with manual transmission had been her dream truck. She said it was fun to drive on her time off and great for towing at work.

NHTSA documents show dealerships have pulled manual transmission versions of the Gladiator from their lots and right now there is no remedy for the recall.

I still see them listed for sale on dealer lots and in the jeep inventory. I really hope the 24s are redesigned as I initially wanted a manual and bought an auto after the 1st 2 recalls. I miss having one.

Edit: OK I used the inventory tracker and searched just for manual ones and it gave me several. But if you actually look at one they are all automatics. So I guess they did 'stop sell' them.

Her situation was talked about last month:

I think she was SOL getting anything from Stellantis directly to cover anything and had to file a insurance claim against her own insurance policy.
