Latest Commander visibility complaints
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.

This is a safety hazard due to the size of the vehicle. I contacted the dealership and the manufacturer. I was told the part was discontinued and not covered by my lifetime warranty. The dealer and body shops have told me they experienced several complaints with this issue. The mirror has defrost and electrical movement. I feel this part is...

defective and there should be a recall for safety issues. My jeep only has approximately 69,500 miles and is in excellent condition other than this mirror. The side mirror and not been damaged in any way physically for this to have happened. The glass is smooth and does reflect light, however, I cannot see clearly at all from the driver seat. The bronzing does not allow a reflection in the mirror of what is beside me.

A couple nights ago I started my vehicle and the lights were dim at the dashboard.

This all happened at the same time. I thought maybe a cluster relay was bad. The more I look into it, it may be the tipm is faulty. In the past year I have replaced the battery twice, alternater is good and the vehicle stalled at random times.

The front module is corrupt. It causing various electrical issue. Lights, blinkers, radio, speakers, dashboard displays, heating/cooling, are all inoperable. Jeep is claiming that this is not their responsibility. This part is not mechanical. I can understand wear and tear but this issue would be a faulty part not an issue of maintenance or the lack of. Without a recall, I am subject to expense that could end up costing me $1000 to $3000. I find this to be situation where jeep is taking advantage of their...
