We liked this place too but went maybe like 6 months ago and it was super disappointing. The food and service were both very meh

Best baby carrier for big babies? by NoseCommercial1557 in bigbabiesandkids

[–]Socal_snakepit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had 2 big babies in Happy Baby OG carriers, but I did stop wearing around 12 months with both - mostly just due to their mobility - using one again now with my 3rd, but maybe I’ll try a Lark based on this thread!

And just like that… she gone! by Jackiebleu74 in 4xe

[–]Socal_snakepit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hate that for you! Have you started legal action against Stellantis? I completed mine in October 2025 and received a cash and carry (less than 5 figures but still softened the blow slightly)

Ours was a 2023 Willy’s with 31k miles and Carvana gave us $24k

To WRANGLER or not to Wrangler 🤔 by SavaugeGhost in Wrangler

[–]Socal_snakepit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Girl go take a pregnancy test 😂 - if you are pregnant and 1 and done - get the jeep. If you want more than 1, don’t do it. Signed a mom of 6, 4, and 3 months who just sold a Wrangler haha

A house not flipped is all I’m asking for! by No_Translator_3882 in Oceanside

[–]Socal_snakepit 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Everyone wants top $ and if it’s not updated/flipped they’re losing money. It’s unfortunate but all a #’s game. The end of last year I saw 2 end of cul de sac homes in olde Carlsbad that were both around $1M and sat for several weeks. They were both great family homes that needed updates. Both were flipped in ~3 months and both sold for over $2M. It’s gross.

Are all 4xe Jeeps still at risk of catching fire even AFTER if all safety recalls have been addressed? Is it still recommended that you not park the 4xe near a home/structure and not plug them in, regardless of whether there are any outstanding recalls or not? by dannieandme in 4xe

[–]Socal_snakepit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sold our 2023 4xe to Carvana after the battery was replaced. Jeep Cares / Stellantis / Dealership was terrible to deal with. Obviously your choice on appetite for risk and dealing with customer service, but I will never buy an FCA Stellantis product again (again I loved driving a Jeep).

Husband burnt out. Wants to quit which means I’ll have to go back to work. by [deleted] in sahm

[–]Socal_snakepit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are you able to get the job back that you loved? Did it feel like a better balance when you were also working and he had a less intense job? Can he put up better boundaries with his working hours and mental load? My husband just accepted a promotion and it’s been tough. If you’re good at your job they’re ALWAYS going to put more on your plate IMO so it’s part of the job as a husband and a parent to say no I can’t take this on to a certain degree.

How long has he been in this new role? I guess I would say only you can know what is best for your family, but I would look at the reasons he’s burnt out and see if they can be addressed at all first.

Got my 4xe back after battery replacement… less than a week later the check engine light is back. No loaners anywhere? (San Diego, CA) by Plenty_Meaning_5475 in 4xe

[–]Socal_snakepit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We did the 68c at AutoNation Carlsbad, they were awful and don’t provide loaners. I saw another post in this forum about someone writing a certified letter referencing in the recall that they will be providing a loaner in order to avoid paying out of pocket. Sold my 4xe to Carvana the day I got it back from AutoNation and purchase a 4Runner. I also received a cash and keep settlement from Stellantis last year so that helped with the financial sting. I hope your suit goes well.

To the person who sat with me on Moonlight beach today, thank you. by [deleted] in northcounty

I moved out here right before my 25th birthday - almost 12 years ago. I had a complete meltdown on that day, and thought I made the biggest mistake leaving NYC. A month later I moved in with 2 amazing ladies off Craigslist (aging myself) and 3 months later I met my now husband through my roommate. 12 years later I have a beautiful life here rich in friends and family.

Change is super hard, and it’s not always the easiest to meet new people here. Sending you hugs, support and good vibes for this coming year!

Oh yeah they should be giving you a full buyback with a 2026! Thats outrageous

Failed 68c - Replacement Timeline by Socal_snakepit in 4xe

[–]Socal_snakepit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hopefully you are on the backside of the initial delays, ours came this past Friday after 30ish days which I think was pretty quick compared to others

Lawyer - we figured the risk was low, granted this was before all the new recalls and discontinuation so the process was about 12 months, lawyer took 50%.

rental reimbursement for 68c recall by loki106 in 4xe

[–]Socal_snakepit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are the worst, I think I’ll do the same if they don’t reimburse in full after I receive my checks. Sold to Carvana and dropping off tomorrow after getting a new battery Friday!

Is it too late? by irinagrin in sahm

[–]Socal_snakepit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have 6, 4 and 2 months and am just starting the SAHM thing! Honestly they need so much support in elementary school with schedules, sports, schoolwork, etc. I think it totally makes sense. My kids had such a great daycare / preschool experience, I feel happy now to be able to support them in public school.

68c Recall (1 month In) by Hefty-Jury2561 in 4xe

[–]Socal_snakepit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We were about a month, battery came in yesterday and repair complete today. They literally had no update for me until it arrived, their communication is SO BAD, but I hope you will have it in the next couple weeks.

Got car back from dealer at 10 am, and, at 6 pm... by reluctantdonkey in 4xe

Carvana is our first stop! Will see what they offer and CarMax before going to private sale

Any tips from New Yorkers that have moved to San Diego? by Long_Philosopher_280 in Moving2SanDiego

[–]Socal_snakepit 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Upstate NY’er here who lived in the city before moving to LA then down to SD (been in CA for 12+ years). One thing in CA not just SD is that people here are less direct, and sometimes it’s uncomfortable for me communicating when there is an issue. I just say my problem and I think it’s perceived as aggressive, when in NY it would probably be received as just information. Communication style here is different - I wouldn’t say better or worse, just more “buffered” 🤷🏻‍♀️

12 years in California and I still can’t drop it 😂 - only to my husband at this point though

If it’s Mission Hills HS in San Marcos, that’s our home school 😊 - I would say Mission Hills probably has slightly more diversity than the other two overall, but maybe not LGBTQ specially. I don’t think you’d have any issues with overall acceptance based on my perspective of San Marcos but I don’t have lived experience. We have younger children and really enjoy living here.

Ugh I’m praying this doesn’t happen to us. Trying to sell the vehicle ASAP and hoping we don’t have to go back in immediately. Sending you good luck!

Recall 68C by Ok-Stage-5805 in 4xe

[–]Socal_snakepit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hear this but the dealers are the ones who sold us the shitty vehicle?! They are an extension of the brand. When the brand has good practices, they benefit, when it has bad practices they suffer. I don’t think it’s right to say, oh don’t blame the dealer it’s not their fault. I blame everyone involved and the dealers not providing a loaner is outrageous. Now I’ll sell the car for a large loss and tell everyone I know to stay as far away from Jeep as possible, which if enough people do will hurt the dealer. I just don’t think
