Water leaking from a pillars onto the floor. Wet carpet/mats causing foot to involuntarily slip when switching pedals. Happens in rainy weather, which is already dangerous without this issue. Major safety and health hazard (if mold begin to form).

I have a 2011 jeep wrangler. I have had my jeep into the dealership four times so far for a leaking roof. Each time I get it back it is supposed to be fixed and the problem is worse. I pd them $1500. On the first visit. They even sent it back to me wet once. It has had so much water in it so many times I wonder if it has mold. I have had it detailed and dried several times, but what about what I can't see, in the vents...every time I turn on the AC or heater or defrost am I blowing mold spores all over and then breathing them in? It has been so wet inside after a bad rain I had condensation on the roof...inside my jeep. Everything in my jeep gets wet, coats, towels, mail or any paper, damp and soft. It seems to me that they've known about this problem, but refuse to take responsibility for their manufacturing error. However they have discontinued the freedom style top. It seems like a way to get out of actually recalling the style, they'll just call it discontinued. I am so disappointed in my experiences w/this, in total they've had my car for at least a month, working on a water leak. Seems like quite a bit of time, my jeep must have leaks everywhere. I have never removed any of the pieces on my top, so it can't be that I'm not properly putting them back on. Jeep has continued to make money by charging customers to replace seals, and sending people home w/a leak worse than when they took it in. I've asked them to clean the inside of the vehicle and the vents, I don't know if those things will happen as it is in the dealership now 9 days this time and don't know when I'll get it back. The first year I had my jeep the passenger door popped open while I was driving. I took it to the dealership and they replaced the seal free of charge because it was defective.

The front two doors of my jeep leak water. If it rains over night the passenger floor board will have 3/4 inch of standing water, the door leaks more when driving while raining. The driver side door leaks, but only when driving and not enough to fill the floor board. I shop vacuum the passenger floor board every time it rains to get the standing water out, then put towels down to soak up what is left. The carpet now smells moldy, this is a safety issue concerning my health. Jeep has a service bulletin of 23-010-13 (formally 23-001-12) out, so they know about the issue. Why can they not do a recall on the issue?

1.top intermittently leaks on/near the passenger door, and when there is snow the top acts like a sponge and saturates leaking water everywhere inside the jeep. I have driven and been in soft tops most of my life and I have never seen a soft top saturate that badly that it soaks the inside of the jeep. Originally the top leaked terrible anytime it rained along the top of the windshield and passenger side, 4 times I called to complain 3 times they told me it was my fault for putting the top on wrong in winter the 4th time they acted surprised and said oh btw there is a service bulletin 2.the engine makes a terrible high pitch whistle/siren noise from the engine intermittently. It last anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours. I have this on video 2 times and dan's jeep has heard it also along with many coworkers friends and family. 3.the steering wheel makes a terrible noise when cold initially and recently is making the noise in lesser severity even when warmed up. The noise is like dragging a nail across a spring. 4.twice now my jeep has had a serious idle/RPM problem I do not know what to call the problem. Saturday the 22nd of october 2011 I started the jeep, it idled fine. I popped the hood open with a friend to see if we could hear the squealing noise when I gave it gas. When I gave it gas the jeep dropped in RPM and acted as if it was going to stall out. Experimenting with the amount of gas no matter how far I pressed the gas pedal it continued to sound like it was dying. Friday the 28th of october after driving for well over an hour the jeep was making the high pitch squealing/whistle/siren noise. Again and at a stop light I went to give it gas as the light went green and the jeep dropped in RPM and began to stall out it seemed. About 10 seconds later the jeep started acting normal and accelerated.

This hardtop vehicle is experiencing significant water leakage so much so that when it rains, the entire front passenger carpet gets soaked and the water flows to the back passenger seat carpet seat as well. My concern is not only potential electrical outages/failure but also, mold and mildew. Certainly not something a consumer would expect for a new vehicle with less than 500 miles!
