4 Body problem

Failure Date: 08/20/1999

My 99' Jeep has leaked water under the seats from the day I bought the car. I had 4 repair attempts where they replaced the door seals x 2, sanded the door frame, resealed the windshield, sealed the seams under the wheels and replaced the carpet 3 times. The car still leaked. I have sent a letter of defect to the manufacture and after the 5 and finial repair attempt the Jeep still leaked water under the seats. Chrysler even had an engineer fly down to the service shop and look at the Jeep. He told me the leak was fixed. Yesterday it rained and after driving through some puddles water still leaked under the seats.

5 Body problem

Failure Date: 06/08/1999

The floor leaked from the time of purchase, the carpet was ruined, the dealership has replaced the carpet and "fixed" the leak twice, I still do not know if it has been properly repaired as for it has not rained since the last repair was completed. The dealership also confirmed that they have seen several Jeeps with the same problem returned for repair. If the dealership is aware of this problem then why has there not been a recall issued by Chrysler ???.
