Florida man’s Jeep goes up in flames because of Note7
Another case has been documented for the
Note7's exploding batteries. Samsung Galaxy Note7 owner Nathan Dornacher lost
the family Jeep to a defective Note7 unit.
The St. Petersburg, Florida resident was
enjoying his day off this Labor Day. While unloading some recently purchased
furniture with his wife and daughter, Nathan left his Note7 charging in the
center console. Perhaps not the best place to charge any phone, on a Florida
Summer day.
The family was only stopping at home to drop
off a desk and get back in the car to run more errands. As soon as Nathan
looked back at his car, he realized it was on fire. Thankfully St. Petersburg’s
Fire Department was able to put the flames out before the flames caught on
anything else.
Nathan’s car insurance will cover the cost of
the car, but the Jeep owner’s insurance won’t cover the thousands of dollars
spent on aftermarket modifications made to his car.
Nathan says he switched from iPhone back when
the first Galaxy Note came out and that he’s upgraded to the newest Note every
year since then. Now he says he’ll never allow any Samsung product into his
house.
As a reminder, if you currently have a Note7
which has been recalled, you should return it as soon as possible. No phone is
worth even a tiny risk of it catching fire.
