I live in Dallas, TX and I have owned my Jeep Commander since June of 2007. About a 1 1/2 years after I purchased it and during days of heavy rain, I always have lots of water that collects in the drivers side footwell in my Commander. At first, I thought it might be coming from its sunroof and perhaps had a faulty installation. I can’t see any visible dripping into the footwell – it almost appears as if it is coming from UNDER the carpet!!! About 2 years ofter its purchase, and while I was servicing it at Frank Parra Jeep/Chrysler; I told the service Mgr of the problem, his comment was… “Ah, it’s the sunroof…!” and that it would cost me $250.00 dlls just to check it! This doesn’t include materials nor replacement parts.
Anyone seen something like this before?
Thx!

Yes, I live in Boston Ma. It just rained here for 4 days and a large puddle accumulated on the drivers side floor. The water just keeps coming through the carpet. The dealer says its our problem and won’t cover under warranty. I have searched the internet and it seems that this is a big problem with the commander.
