| Description of the problem | We purchased a 2007 jeep commander limited in september, 2007. After the first rains in october, 2007 the jeep cabin was flooded with rain water entering the cabin via the front driver and passenger front pillars. The dealer claimed they could not reproduce the leaking and sent us away. The cabin flooded again following the next rain storm. This time dealer replaced moon roof gutter/drain on passenger side. Next rain storm flooding again and dealer replaced moon roof gutter/drain on the driver side. Upon return from the dealer electronic components began malfunctioning such as interior dome lights, automatic headlamps, intermittent wiper functions, etc. I suspect the deluge of water from the cabin flooding is now affecting the electronics in the dash, headliner, center console and doors. We have petitioned daimlerchrysler corporation under the california lemon laws, but we no have no response as of yet. |
