ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STRUCTURE
THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER AND CORPORATE HAS BEEN NOTIFIED. THE SITUATION STARTS WHEN THE WEATHER IS BELOW FREEZING OR SNOWING THEN TURNS TO RAIN. THE SUNROOF DRAIN DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY CAUSING WATER TO POUR OUT OF THE CENTER CEILING MAP LIGHTS,THE GARAGE DOOR CONTROL PANEL, THE DRIVER SIDE COLUMN, AND THE HANDLE TO GET INTO THE VEHICLE. THIS CAUSES A MAJOR DISTRACTION WHILE DRIVING AND ALSO CAN CAUSE SEVERE ELECTRICAL DAMAGE, WATER DAMAGE TO THE INTERIOR AND MOLD/MILDEW BUILD UP. . CORPORATE CLAIMS THEY KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THIS SITUATION HOWEVER CURRENTLY THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT VS CHRYSLER CORPORATION REGARDING THIS ISSUE WITH MANY DIFFERENT MODELS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. THIS SITUATION ONLY OCCURS DURING THE EXTREME COLD WEATHER CHANGE AND PRECIPITATION. THE DEALER AND JEEP HAVE NO ANSWER TO RECTIFY THIS PROBLEM. *TR
