Body problem #1

I have a 2018 Jeep Renegade, when it rains water leaks from my roof/ceiling down to my dashboard soaking all the electrical equipment. My vehicle doesn’t have a sunroof and I can’t find where the leaking is coming from.

Body problem #2

As we were headed onto the interstate via the on ramp I-44 west in st. Robert mo we had the from passenger and driver side windows down and we heard a loud pop as the front tempered glass panel of our panoramic sunroof/moonrise shattered above us cutting my arm and back. Sunny day no vehicles in front or behind us to kick up a rock or anything. This is clearly a defect in the design of the 2018 panoramic glass panels as later models top glass have a different style and design.

Body problem #3

My mom was parking the vehicle in a parking lot, when it accelerated unexpectedly causing her to jump a curb and a tree branch struck the windshield and roof. A witness in a car nearby said she heard the vehicle rev up before jumping the curb.

Body problem #4

Constant engine stalling at highway speeds and normal speeds causing all engine power to cease in my vehicle leaving it to the mercy of my brakes which lock up upon power loss and makes it extremely difficult to stop. Brought vehicle to dealership multiple times just to be told that they could not duplicate the problem. It continues to happed and I have already had one small collision and have almost been forced off of a cliff 2 times since these problems have started.

Body problem #5

In the event of my frontal collision, my patellar tendon on my right leg was ruptured after my knee impacted the plastic steering column cover which houses the windsheild wiper switch, igntion switch (push-to-start), and turn signal multifunction lever. My injury required surgery to repair my ruptured tendon. This trim piece did not shatter nor did it protect my knee during impact which caused my trauma and now debilitating condition. For reference I am 5'9 225lbs at the time of incident on feburary 21, 2020.
