| Description of the problem | Upholstery fabric is highly susceptible to staining!!! It does not clean when shampooed. Even rain drops stain the fabric. I have shampooed and even had the fabric scotch-guarded on 4 separate occasions, yet it still stains, even by rain drops. I have complained to the dealers service department but to no avail. I won't purchase another jeep due to this frustration. I take pride in keeping my vehicle clean and like new. I am very embarrassed to have passengers ride in my jeep. It gives them a bad impression of me as well as chrysler! I really regret purchasing this jeep. |
