“For the past 2 years, whenever it rains, water flows in from the top left corner of both front doors. Also, if my vehicle is parked and it rains, next time I drive it water absolutely pours in all over me and the passenger seat, or my passenger.”

“I was delivering mail, and while stopped at a box I noticed smoke coming from the passenger side of the hood. I pulled into the nearest driveway, and got out of the vehicle just before the engine compartment went up in flames.”

“On an inclined boat ramp w/pontoon and emerg brake engaged discovered loose disengaged shifter. Google search LED to discovery deteriorated shifter bushing. Same as recall v34. Manually maneuvered shifter on transmission in order to drive home. In google search for remedy, saw countless posts from jeeps with same issue which could easily be safety related. Was excited when I saw v34, but wasn't showing up for my Jeep. What constitutes a recall for one vehicle and not another when the issue is identicle?”
