Shortly, after returning home, I was cleaning out my jeep, including my glove box. There is no catch behind the glove box and things fall out the back of the glovebox to the floor particularly get stuck underneath the center dashboard console directly adjacent to the glove box. I had some face masks from Covid that fell out the back of the glove box, and landed underneath the hidden in area of the console between the steering column in the glove box. I reached behind the plastic cover to retrieve the masks and burned my hand on some very hot metal. It was so hot. If I would not have found the masks that fell in there, they would’ve surely started an interior fire in the jeep while I was driving or in my garage. This is very dangerous, my husband also burned himself when he checked on another day when I showed him. This is a serious fire hazard and they need to either completely close off that gap at the glove box or close it off directly below the dashboard where all the controls are for heating and cooling and radio.
