The incident happened after Nathan Dornacher left his four-day-old Galaxy Note 7 charging in his Jeep Grand Cherokee’s center console. Moments later, he saw his car up in flames.
Samsung said in a statement “We are aware of the incident and we are working with Mr. Dornacher to investigate his case and ensure we do everything we can for him. Consumer safety is Samsung’s highest priority. With regard to the Galaxy Note7, we are asking owners to take advantage of the Product Exchange Program. The program offers Note7 owners the opportunity to exchange the phone for a new one”.

Re: Samsung Galaxy Note 7 Explodes and Burns JEEP

Yes. Note 7 is dangerous, which is why civil aviation authorities have banned it around the world. The battery is made by one of Samsung subsidiary, so Samsung has no one else to blame. Will Samsung pick up the tab for the burnt car ? Technically, it should or the owner should sue Samsung. Thankfully the owner and family escaped a fiery end.

Re: Samsung Galaxy Note 7 Explodes and Burns JEEP

Instead of buying Note 7 in this price,buying 2 One Plus 3 mobiles makes sense.

Recently,a Note 2 got exploded at Chennai airport.

Samsung Galaxy Note 7 problem persists, now replaced phone reportedly caught fire

samsung-1.jpg

It seems like Samsung's Galaxy Note 7 nightmare is not going to end soon as a report now has claimed that a replaced unit of the phone, which Samsung deemed to be safe, caught fire on Southwest Airlines flight. Thankfully, all passengers and crew members of the plane, which is travelling from Louisville to Baltimore, were evacuated and there has been no injuries due to the incident.

As mentioned before, the phone was a replaced safe model as claimed by the owner of the phone, Brian Green. Green confirmed that he picked up the new replaced phone from an AT&T store on September 21, 2016. Moreover, a photograph of the box has also been revealed which shows a black square symbol and Green also claimed that it had green battery icon indicating the phone was a replaced unit.
