“The sunroof leaks. I take it to the dealer, they say they can 'fix' it. They blow out the drain lines. That does not fix it, within a few months it is blocked/kinked again. Why does the water drip through the window seal anyway? Seems that is what needs fixing. I have had to replace the radio-$550.00-and every time they blow out the drain lines, it is $35.00. This is my 5th and last Jeep product. It is parked in a garage all day at work and all night at home. What would the problem be like if I parked it under trees? …”
