NHTSA Complaint #10572828 — 2006 JEEP COMMANDER

1.THE VEHICLE LEAKS. I SUSPECTED IT WAS THE THE SUN ROOF AS THAT WOULD BE THE OBVIOUS CHOICE. AFTER COMPLETELY CLEANING AND TESTING THE DRAIN LINES. I NOW FEEL LIKE THIS IS THE ISSUE HTTP://XKJEEPS.COM/TSB/TSB_XK_2305005.PDF. MY VEHICLE HAS HAD ABOUT 3/4' OF WATER IN THE FLOORBOARD AND I HAVE TO KEEP 2 CONTAINERS OF DAMPRID IN THE VEHICLE AT ALL TIMES TO AVOID HAVING A MILDEW SMELL. NOT TO MENTION THAT IT CAN'T BE GOOD FOR THE ELECTRONICS THAT RUN AROUND THE BASE OF THE CAR. CONSIDERING THAT THEY HAVE A REPAIR SHEET ON IT. I FEEL LIKE THEY SHOULDN'T CHARGE THEIR CUSTOMERS TO REPAIR ANYTHING. 2. DOOR HANDLES. ALL OF THE DOOR HANDLES OF THE VEHICLE ARE BROKEN EXCEPT FOR THE DRIVERS SIDE WHICH CLEARLY HAS A AFTERMARKET FIX ON IT. THE CHEAP PLASTIC USED TO MOUNT THEM HAS CRACKED AND NOW THE DOOR HANDLES JUST HANG. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. IT POTENTIALLY COULD TRAP PEOPLE IN THE CAR. I HAVE READ ABOUT THE ISSUES ALL OVER THE INTERNET YET JEEP IS TRYING TO MAKE THE CUSTOMERS PAY $2000 FOR THE DOOR PANEL REPLACEMENTS. THAT IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE. *TR
