| Description of the problem | The sunroof leak has been an ongoing problem since we bought the jeep, new. It's been "repaired" several times. They blow out the drain lines and tell us not to park near any trees. Then i take it to the carwash and it leaks again. They tell us not to spray the water to direct at the roof. Water gushing through my dome light has washed down through the dash console and now my hands free (u-connect) is malfunctioning. The service dept, charged me to look at it and supposedly fixed it. It's still does not work properly. All the console buttons are sticking. This problem started when the jeep had a warranty package. Now that it's no longer under warranty, they charge me to "put a bandaid" on it and tell me stay out of the woods... With my jeep!!!! When is chrysler going to take responsibility for this? |
