Jeep Commander 2007 Complaint

Complaint about ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING

CASTROVILLE, TX

Consumer Complaint:
WE PURCHASED A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER ON FEB.10. IT HAS 2,000 MILES ON IT. LAST WEEK, THE ENGINE "THREW A ROD" THROUGH THE SIDE OF THE ENGINE REQUIRING A NEW ENGINE TO BE INSTALLED. IT WAS THE RESULT OF ROAD RAINWATER BEING TAKEN INTO THE ENGINE THROUGH THE AIR INTAKE. I AM HAVING TO FILE A CLAIM WITH MY INSURANCE COMPANY TO REPLACE THE ENGINE. THE WATER ON THER ROAD WAS MINIMAL. I CONTINUE TO SEE JEEP ADVERTISEMENTS ON TELEVISION SHOWING THE JEEP COMMANDER DRIVING THRU WATER... THE CONSUMER NEEDS TO BE AWARE THAT THE VEHICLE CANNOT BE DRIVEN THRU WATER...
