WOW – what information about my 2008 Outlook XR with Sun/Moon Roof – of course, after the fact of buying a used one from a very large GM dealership group – it happens to be the Cadillac division – one year ago today with 31,629 miles upon thus the factory warranty was still in force.

The issue started one week ago @ 50,853 miles – drove into my driveway from a short drive home – turned the car off & it kept running – got the car to stop – then noticed the check engine light was ablaze – time to visit the dealer service center the next morning. Twice – to my surprise – during the evening the radio turned on with the NCAA basketball games on!

The next morning nothing would start – therefore it was taken to the dealership on a flat bed tow truck. I was contacted later that day – it was a bad ECM which was replaced under an extended after care warranty (3 yrs / 36,000 miles) – then I asked to have them check for water coming down along the driver’s side. I was informed it was some bad seals along the cowl causing the leak into the passenger compartment – I had it repaired for ~$141. Once this was completed I picked it up 5 days after dropping it off – the ECM had to be ordered – thought to be a happy camper too.

Well, yesterday after many nice dry days the heavens let open & it rained on and off all day – drove it home noticing some wetness on the driver floor mats & a puddle of water in the sun roof tracks – UGH! – oh well maybe a fluke & need to have it checked out on Monday – then we decided to go out for desert – we went out to the Outlook & the radio was on with a basketball game playing again & the check engine light ablaze again – glad the blub did not burn out in the chaos.

We immediately proceeded to the dealership again that night & left it as a late night drop off – where the car remained outside – another torrent of rain passed by the area – oh no!

After not hearing from the dealership by 11A today – I headed there to get an update – needless to say it was not a pretty meeting – water everywhere inside the driver compartment including the electrical system – which was never before a bad issue unless the car sat heading down hill in rain storm – now I am stuck with “the water doctor” coming on Monday to check it out & find out how much I owe – oh my what a mess.

Probably the biggest issue is how come that much water entered the car this time after a water seal repair was made – what happened?

Who to contact in the state of Ohio?

Hello

I bought a 2007 Jeep Commander about 8 months ago and I have had it in the shop for the past 4 months with water puddles on the passenger side floor. I have had 3 windshields in the last 3 months and it is now back in the shop with the same problem. I live in Seattle, Washington. Is there someone local that can help?

Sadly Danika, due to the age, I am not sure anyone can do anything for you. I suggest reaching out to the California Attorney General’s office.

My dear husband bought me a 2008 Buick enclave for my anniversary present, not even one month after having it, I started smelling this funny odor in the car, I couldnt for the life of me figure it out, then another day it rained I saw the water leaking in, we called the dealership and we will not discuss the poor customer service that we have been receiving!! But the first time they stated they had to replace the end of the tubing bc it had become pinched when we were using the sunroof. The second time they stated they replaced the tubing and when it was ready it was raining so needless to say I didnt use it and there was still water leaking in my car that bc it was so cold turned to ice!! Which not to mention soaked a towel.
My bigger issue is ever since this issue, my son who rides in the back of my vehicle has been breathing very heavily lately (and he is NO WHERE near over weight) and I am very worried because I know the smell of an old umbrella that I have been previously smelling was probably mold and mildew that I am sure they have not addressed. On top of that I have been having these serious headaches that I thought were due to the change in weather but unfortunately the weather hasnt changed and the headaches havent gone away. Can someone please help us in North Carolina!!

2008 GMC Acadia. I starting hearing the gurgling of water above the headliner about two weeks ago and noticed that the passenger side floor was wet. It wouldn’t start today. I tried to jump it off but when it wouldn’t cooperate I hit the internet to see if the water in the roof could be a contributing factor. Boy was I surprised! The internet is littered with others going through the same ordeal. The GM dealership told me that the water leak shorted out the fuse box and that they could reduce the bill from $800 to $400 because they knew about the issue. When I complained that it was a design issue with GM they through up their hands. I contacted GM directly and they said that I didn’t have a design problem (me specifically) and there were not recall notices so I was SOL.
I am absolutely disgusted. This is going to continue to happen and it’s probably only going to get worse. Ridiculous. Have there been any cases in AL regarding this issue?

FYI: I’ve contacted Jeep Corp in regards to another ongoing Jeep Commander problem “Transmission Over Temp” and stalling. Jeep asked me to contact the NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION. I found a number of complaints on NHTSA’s website, a few in regards to water in Jeeps.

Here’s a list to view/add 2006 Jeep Commander complaints:

2006 Jeep Commander….leaked 1st on drivers side now on the passenger side.
service dept. air hosed the drains again…3rd time in for this problem…now waiting for rain to see what happens. anyway one of the service guys pulled the passenger side carpet up a little so that air could get in under the carpet to dry it…I looked at it further and it is disgusting….there is some thick rubber under the carpet itself and this is soaked and I doubt it will ever dry….this is where the mold is. anyone having this water leak with a 2010 ?

I bought a 2006 Mercedes Benz (M-B) S430 last September 2010. This past May in 2011 I noticed that the lights came on in the car, which was parked in the my garage after a car wash. Didn’t think much of it because I only drive the car on weekends and on trips. However, in July of 2011, I drove on a thousand mile round-trip, and as I was returning home the car wouldn’t start. Nothing! My nephew Googled the web and found that water could have leaked in and shorted out the SAM unit, under the passenger left rear seat. The rear tail lights came on and stayed on, so I disconnected the battery and waited until morning. It started and I made it back home safely and took it to the dealer for repair. I paid over $2k for the SAM unit and a front passenger seat SBS sensor, which was what the message in the dash was telling me. This being the SECOND sensor I had replaced.

Well, this September the car had been sitting in the garage and I took it to get washed. Got back home and the same situation occurred with the lights and no starting. Couldn’t turn the key FOB. Finally got it to the dealer again. The Dealer is now telling me that I will owe them again for the repair, and in addition, they will have to pull the entire dash out of the car to try to find out where the leak is located. And I have to pay for it. It only took them 3.5 weeks to come to this conclusion. I told them to hold on , and I would get back to them. But I want to talk to legal counsel first, and alert the Better Business Bureau about this Dealership in Lexington, KY. The only M-B Dealership in Lexington, KY.

What would you suggest i do in this situation!?!?!

After having my 2006 COMMANDER, for about month, it rained for the first time and the driver’s floor is soaked and water is dripping through the hand rail. I’ve came across several JEEP forums where hundreds of people are complaining about water in their jeeps. I have kids riding with me and would hate for them to miss school after getting sick from MOLD growing in the COMMANDER. What is JEEP doing to resolve this ongoing problem?

Same,same,same leaky problem. 2007 commander leaking through pillar handles and soaking up floor wells. Chrysler says they are not familiar with this leak problem,so they brought in a “leak specialist”. Now the specialist says the glass needs to be replaced at a cost of $355 (there’s nothing wrong with glass). Then, after that, the drains have to be flushed at extra charge. why not include with the charge of replacing glass??? Please help. What should we do?
