| Description of the problem | Purchased this jeep in march. It is now just a little over a month later and already this jeep has been in the shop twice for water leaking into the rear dome light, filling the light fixture with water, and when you make a turn the water will leak out of the dome light and onto the rear of the vehicle all over the carpeted area where items are stored. Both times i have noticed the water it has been in the morning after it has rained at night and i am opening the hatch to put my belongings inside. Twice already in the shop for this same issue and i my first car payment isn't even due! |
