Consumer Description

I BOUGHT THIS JEEP USED AND THE FIRST TIME IT RAINED, WATER CAME IN FROM THE SUNROOF INTO THE CAR, THERE WAS WATER IN THE DOME LIGHTS, RUNNING OUT OF THE HEADLINER, RUNNING THROUGH THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS. NOW I SEE THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL BUT CHRYSLER HAS NOT RECALLED OR DONE ANYTHING TO CORRECT IN THE CURRENT MODEL YEAR. I AM AFRAID FO RMY SAFETY DRIVING THIS VEHICLE WITH WATER COMING IN CONTACT WITH ELECTRONICS OR WATER COMING INTO MY FACE, ON MY STEERING WHEEL WHILE DRIVING CAUSING A DISTRACTION. I HOPE THE NHTSA WILL HELP AND FORCE THE MFR TO FIX THIS FOR ALL OF US JEEP OWNERS. *TR
