I ONLY OWNED THE CAR FOR ONE WEEK AND THERE WERE ONLY 156 MILES ON THE CAR. WHEN I GOT IN MY CAR AFTER WORK TODAY (THE FIRST RAINY DAY SINCE I PICKED UP THE VEHICLE A WEEK AGO) THERE WAS WATER ALL OVER THE RADIO, CONSOLE, GEAR SHIFT, DASHBOARD AND ALSO ON THE SEATS AND FLOOR. WATER WAS LEAKING INTO THE CAR FROM THE INTERIOR LIGHTS LOCATED RIGHT ABOVE THE DASHBOARD. THE CD PLAYER WAS MAKING A CLICKING NOISE AND SAYING LOAD CD OR EJECT CD AND WOULD JUST GO ON AND OFF SPORADICALLY AS I DROVE TO THE JEEP DEALER. THE MOST CONCERNING AND DANGEROUS PART WAS WATER WOULD CONTINUE TO POUR OUT FROM THE LIGHTS AS I DROVE EVERY TIME I MADE A TURN. WATER WOULD SPRAY ONTO ME, AS WELL AS, PARTS OF THE INTERIOR OF THE CAR WITHOUT NOTICE. *TR
