| Description of the problem | The complaint is on 2007 jeep compass with sunroof option. The sunroof is not installed appropriately and when it rains, and the sunroof drains get clogged, the water leaks into the car through the map lights and as well through the floorboards of the car. The water damage can cause long term mold and rust on the frame of the car that would be unknown to the owner. The leaks also can cause mechanical failure to the car. I have already had my speakers fail and cannot imagine what else may fail. I have also seen numerous complaints regarding this problem on other jeeps and chrysler models with sunroof options. |
