2008 Jeep Commander Body & structure Problems

The sunroof on my 2008 Jeep Commander leaks profusely, even in mundane conditions like a rain sprinkle or carwash. Throughout the year, whenever there is a rain downpour, water leaks through the sunroof and side posts to the point that water is sloshing and splashing around as I drive, and splashes up on me when I stop. Through online research, I've learned that Chrysler refuses to address and correct the faulty drainage tubes causing the leaky sunroofs, nor does Chrysler honor warranty claims for these sunroofs despite issuing at least 7 Technical Service Bulletins about its vehicles’ faulty drainage tubes and leaking sunroofs between 1999 and 2010, the class action lawsuit says. I am now having to spend hundreds, if not thousands, to have the sunroof and side post drainage channels repaired. Thousands of other Jeep owners have had this same issue. I implore you to please hold Jeep/Chrysler accountable, and force them to rectify this faulty, defective, and poorly manufactured product that they call a "sunroof", which is actually just an open portal for water to soak us both literally and monetarily. Because of recent hail storms locally, no repair shop is even able to look at my Jeep's sunroof until November. So that means I'll have to continue arriving to work and other destinations soaking wet. Looking forward to your response and action on this matter.

LEAKING WATER THROUGH SIDE DRIVER HANDLE ALSO CARPETS SOAKED WHEN RAINS. HAS BEEN HAPPENING THROUGH THE YEARS. SAFETY ISSUE NOW I BELIEVE IS AFFECTING MY ELECTICAL IN DOOR PANEL. PASSENGER DOOR WINDOW WILL NOT WORK FROM DRIVERS SIDE.NOW LEAKING FROM LIGHT FIXTURE. WILL IT AFFECT ANY OTHER ELECTRICAL IN THE FUTURE? WHEN JEEP WAS NEW DOOR HINGE WAS REPLACED RUSTED OUT. NEED IT DONE AGAIN. THIS IS NOT NORMAL MAINTENANCE TO REPLACE HINGES. THE DOOR SOUNDS LIKE ITS GOING TO CRACK IN HALF WHEN OPENING AND CLOSING. WOULDNT BE SUPRISED IF IT FELL OFF. ITS THE SAME SIDE AS THE LEAKS. IM PUTTING TODAYS DATE BECAUSE ITS ALL THE TIME. ALSO IVE READ THERE IS A CLASS ACTION SUIT FOR THE SUNROOF. BUT NOT VEHICLES BEFORE 2009? ALL RECALLS AND SUITS MATCH MY SITUATIONS BUT MY VIN # DOESNT COME UP?? NOT RIGHT AT ALL. THERE ARE SO MANY FLAWS IN THIS JEEP BUT WHAT IM COMPLAINING ABOUT IS SERIOUS.

THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT OR OTHER NECESSARY EMERGENCY EXIT SCENARIO. *TR

WE HAD A VERY HARD RAIN AND WHEN I WENT TO MY JEEP THE DRIVER SIDE FLOOR WAS FULL OF WATER. I STARTED MY JEEP UP AND MY RADIO SPEAKERS STOPPED WORKING. BEFORE I PURCHASED THE JEEP CHRYSLER HAD TO FIX A WATER PROBLEM BECAUSE IT WAS FLOODING THE PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR AND THEY HAD TO FIX THE SPEAKERS BECAUSE THE BACK SPEAKERS WERE NOT WORKING. NOW I'M HAVING THE SAME ISSUES BUT NOW THEY WANT ME TO PAY. PLEASE HELP. *TR

I'VE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH MY '08 COMMANDER FOR SEVERAL MONTHS NOW. THE SUNROOF LEAKED AND WATER GOT INTO THE DASHBOARD, SHORTING THE RADIO OUT. DEALER FIXED SUNROOF SEAL AND RADIO. ON THE DRIVE HOME FROM THE DEALER, DASHBOARD LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING. RETURNED TO DEALER THE NEXT DAY, BUT THEY COULD NOT LOCATE A PROBLEM. THREE DAYS LATER, CAR WOULD SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING AND ALL DASHBOARD LIGHTS WOULD FLASH. RETURNED TO DEALER, THEY WERE UNABLE TO "DUPLICATE" ISSUE. TECH FROM DEALER DROVE CAR FOR 1 DAY AND HE COULD NOT FIND AN ISSUE. ONE WEEK LATER, CAR SMELLED HORRIBLE OF FUEL AND CAR WOULD SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. RETURNED TO DEALER AND DEALER REPLACED O2 SENSOR. PICKED UP CAR AND ON MY WAY HOME, LIGHTS FLASHED, CAR STALLED AND SMELLED WORSE OF FUEL. IMMEDIATELY RETURNED TO DEALER, DEALER REPLACED A SECOND O2 SENSOR. PICKED UP CAR, 5 MILES FROM DEALER, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. CALLED DEALER AND HE SAID TO DRIVE CAR UNTIL THE ENGINE "RESET"(ABOUT 10 MILES) OR UNTIL LIGHT BEGAN FLASHING, THEN BRING IT IN SINCE THEY CAN NOT FIND A REAL PROBLEM. ISSUE SEEMED TO RESOLVE FOR A COUPLE WEEKS OF NOT DRIVING CAR MUCH, BUT THEN THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS BEGAN FLASHING AGAIN, CAR SMELLED OF FUEL AND CAR SEEMED BOGGED DOWN. TODAY, CAR BARELY STARTED AND WAS VERY BOGGED DOWN. ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE, BUT CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND FLASHED REPEATEDLY. CAR WOULD NOT GO OVER 40MPH, SHOOK HORRIBLY AND FINALLY SHUT OFF. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR WITH MY CHILD INSIDE. I AM A DISABLED SINGLE MOTHER AND I NEED A DEPENDABLE CAR AND DEFINITELY NOT ONE THATS GOING TO KEEP COSTING ME MONEY. I HAVE A WARRANTY THAT I PURCHASED WITH THE CAR, BUT IT SEEMS TO STILL COST AN ARM AND A LEG TO GET THIS CAR RUNNING FOR A FEW DAYS BEFORE IT CHOKES UP AGAIN. THIS CAR HAS SUCKED UP ALL MY SAVINGS AND STILL NO RESOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM. *TR
