| Description of the problem | While driving down the interstate in the rain, water started pouring through the interior lights, both front and back, water was even coming in through the air bag points. Water got into the radio/cd player/vents everywhere. I was scared, it was hard to see and after several minutes was able to get to the side of the road (extremely hazardous), i was very lucky i did not crash, as it was very hard to see. Upon inspection at the dealership it was discovered a bulletin was out on the car for front/rear sunroof drain system failure and the gasket/seal on the sunroof failed. I have only had the jeep for 8-9 months. |
