| Description of the problem | Since i have had the jeep the top has leaked and this happened before i had ever taken the top off. In doing my research this has happened to 100s of other people. One was able to successfully initiate the lemon law and after that succeeded she found crysler manipulated the vin records. I have gotten no help bringing the jeep back it happens i dry it out. If not the carpet gets moldy and smells. My neighbor has the same year and make same issue we have both given up and just have to deal with it. I cannot keep taking time out of my day to bring it back to the dealer as i had 5 times prior. I love the jeep but having rain pour in if its coming down hard enough or coming into puddles is frustrating and for a new vehicle it's unacceptable. The only response i have gotten from jeep is bring it in again there is no design flaw yet the deales will admits there is. I have ahead left on my lease and so frustrated. I will be on vacation starting thursday but needed to fill this out after another discussion with customer service and they said oh well essentially it's a jeep they leak :( sure moldy floors, and what other safety issues are there? This forum u can find wealth of other complaints or by doing a simple google search on jk leaky tops. |
