| Description of the problem | The sunroof leaks. I take it to the dealer, they say they can 'fix' it. They blow out the drain lines. That does not fix it, within a few months it is blocked/kinked again. Why does the water drip through the window seal anyway? Seems that is what needs fixing. I have had to replace the radio-$550. 00-and every time they blow out the drain lines, it is $35. 00. This is my 5th and last jeep product. It is parked in a garage all day at work and all night at home. What would the problem be like if i parked it under trees? Now the map lights don't work from the water damage, and yes, i know, it is past warranty-in the beginning, you think you left it open a crack, or it is cold and something is frozen, and then the dealer says they can 'fix' the problem. And now, finally, i am realizing this is a design flaw-i googled it, and i am among thousands of people with this problem. Chrysler needs to fix this issue. |
