Group 2: Market Performance - Stellantis' Jeep Wrangler 4xe has been a top-selling PHEV in the U.S. since its launch in 2021, ranking first in the plug-in hybrid market last year [4]. - The company previously held a 22% market share in the U.S. PHEV segment, but this has changed significantly as it pivots away from PHEVs [5].

Group 4: Quality Concerns - Stellantis has a history of quality issues, including recalls due to fire risks associated with its PHEV models, which have not influenced the decision to discontinue these vehicles [10].
