| Description of the problem | The roof on my brand 2008 jeep wrangler sahara limited is leaking badly on the inside of the vehicle. The water leaking inside from the hardtop in front is causing the electrical system to short out. It has already leaked down into the radio and has caused a short in the radio system. Everyday since purchase when it rains , snows or when i wash the vehicle the roof leaks into the inside and leaks down into the front dash and also down onto the gear selector. There is always large puddles of water on the dashboard. What is to happen if the water leak short out the electrical system further in the vehicle and causes the vehicle to catch fire or short the electrical system out while vehicle is in operation.*cn |
