2 Side/rear Glass problem

Failure Date: 08/19/2009

In August 2009 a truck dropped a rock from its load a broke (cracked) my windshield on my 2007 Jeep Commander. We had the windshield replaced and with in weeks a crack appeared on the top of driver"s side. The windshield was not struck by anything. That cracked windshield was replaced and in November that windshield cracked on the top side of the driver's side. Again nothing struck the windshield. On Dec. 1, 2009 third windshield was installed. Late in December, 2009 that windshield developed a crack on the bottom of the driver's side. Again nothing struck the windshield to cause the crack. The auto glass company states that this is unusual but nothing they are doing during the installation would cause this problem to occur three consecutive times. We drove the car for two years, 2007 to 2009 without problems with the windshield. Only after a replacement was installed did the cracks start appearing. The cracks in the replacement windows on the driver's side do cause visibility and safety issues.

3 Side/rear Glass problem

Failure Date: 07/04/2007

I just leased a 2007 Jeep cherokee in March of '07. And, it drives wonderfully! however, I've noticed a few (glitches) concerns lately with this vehicle. I have major leaks in my side rails right above the dashboard when it rains. I believe this is because of how the insulation was done on the actual roof as well as the doors. I've also noticed my passenger window sticking while lowering the window or raising the window. And, my windshield seems to be glistening now -- I'm thinking that those glistening small cracks will truly turn into major problems long-term! I am currently leasing and was seriously deciding to purchase this vehicle. But, with my concerns listed I'm not sure how long this Jeep Commander will last me financially. Hopefully these problems will be recalled and maybe my decision to purchase will change. I'm sure that these problems are not just affecting me. We'll see what happens. Hopefully you can help! have a nice day!!.
