We can have different opinions and still have good conversations.
I typically don’t follow much “news” these days because it’s all fear driven or political and I’d rather go on about my life without worrying about that stuff.

But by the sounds of it I’d say it’s probably owner negligence unless for some reason the alternator is located at the very bottom of the engine, which is unlikely. Judging by a wrangler I found on YouTube it’s at the very top of the engine bay

Should be pretty easy to prove how far the vehicle was submerged and I’m sure they have some sort of disclaimer about how high the vehicle can be submerged safely.
