To the engineers who put the batteries under the seats.

I hope you wake up every morning and stub your toe.

This is for a 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee L

I would truly like to know the thought process behind this. It’s bad enough Jeep only put a keyed lock on the driver door but with a completely dead battery how are you supposed to move your power seat all the way forward to remove the battery?

Just getting the plastic panel off was hard enough, I managed to get it off along with getting the terminals disconnected which took longer than it should have. I have a charger on it now so hopefully it’ll take a charge. If not I’ll have to crawl through the back, unload everything that’s currently in the back so I can open the lift gate because no power means no way to unlock the lift gate so I need to open from the inside, just so I can go under the floorboard and get my jump pack (in hindsight not the best place to store it). With that I hopefully can jumpstart the car so I can move my front seat forward enough to remove the battery.

Am I missing something or is this truly the best that Jeep could come up with?
