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.

150,000mi on my Jeep and my heat has gone completely out. I live in a cold climate area in the North East.. the heat stopped working when the car was moving down the highway causing my windows to fog up dramatically reducing visibility. This fogging has continued and I can no longer drive the vehicle without the windows being partially cracked down.

Wipers turn on by themselves, sometimes won't work when driving. Radio constantly reprogramming itself. Headlights sometimes come on without turning them on yet occasionally won't work when driving. While driving I've had the radio shut off, trip odometer reset, mileage reset, it's almost like the cpu resets in the middle of driving. Lastly, ive had the entire Jeep stall while stopped at intersections. Most times it takes 2-3 cranks to get it started. Nothing lights up on the dash when I try to start it. These things have happened approximately 30-40 times in the last year. The radio reprogramming itself happens daily.

The wipers keep turning on by themselves and sometimes won't shut off. They also sometimes come on when the turn signals are used, and again sometimes won't turn off. They sometimes won't turn on. Also, bulbs, such as headlight, markers, and fog lights keep blowing out on an extremely frequent basis. All these thing happen when the Jeep is both in motion and idling both on city streets and highway driving.....going foreword and during mid turn. While accelerating and braking. All occurrences have happened during all 4 New York seasons. And at no specific time of day. We have no photos but this happens at various times and has happened many times since the Jeep was bought new in 2010 and this was brought to the attention of the dealership which informed me that they did not physically "see" it happen therefore could not diagnose. I will put a date in the "when did this happen box" below as a start point...but know it has happened many times and continues to happen to this day.

Driver's side (left) exterior side mirror fell off while driving on a city street. Mirror fell into road way posing a hazard for other drivers. Upon recovering mirror I found that the structural base that attached the mirror to the body was severely corroded away and it broke where an attaching bolt affixed the mirror to the mount not at the point the mount attached to the vehicle. My selling dealer covered this under our Chrysler extended warranty with a $100 deductible. But this is a common defect and poses a safety hazard both to the owner and others around the vehicle or other drivers.
