Are you kidding me?
I can no longer bite my tongue. If this were an issue of a fellow member in need I would support it unconditionally. However, this is an issue of someone who intentionally and irresponsibly caused this damage.
Every time I read a post, the guy appears to be begging for someone else to fix his Jeep or for free parts.
Why don't he sell his Nack for $80 to get his Jeep back.

Are you laid off right now or something? Argue with them about he $80 bucks. Haven't they done work for you in the past? Call Jeep customer service direct and tell them you aren't getting help. It's a jeep it's supposed to be muddy.
You nee to get mad at this dealership an make them work for YOU. Go to jeep.com and call the customer service line.
You can get out of the $80. They don't want it sitting there anymore than you do. It's a liability to them without a top and doors on it also they have to keep it indoors. Trust me. They'll let 80 bucks slide if you get right with them an show them that you're a long ime ustomer whoasked for their help. Don't lay down to these guys it didn't cost them a dime to look at it.

Secondly yes Jeeps can be wheeled and in mud. However they are not covered or DESIGNED to be submerged in over 3' of muddy water. Read you owners manual and warranty guide. It's spelled out clear as day how deep of water it designed to go through.
The dealer has no reason to warranty any of this....the owner was clearly negligent

Re-read your warranty and what it says about water fording depths!

Second, I have asked for no one to fix the jeep for me (except for taking it to the dealer)
I addressed the charity donations idea earlier in this thread and pointed out that I specifically wasn't asking for money.
All I've asked for is repair advice, and welcomed company if anyone wanted to hang out while I work on it.
Begging?
Never.
Intentional damage?
Never.
Irresponsible?
Sure. And I've addressed this.
Most everyone on here has accidentally damaged their vehicle while offroad. If they were being responsible, you'd see them following you around the parking lot, playing it safe.
I don't see how a water related accident is different than a crawling/climbing accident. If I had snapped an axle or popped a spring, or thrashed a driveshaft, or had a boulder tear down the side of the jeep, I'd be hardcore. ...but water makes it intentional?

In response to the other posts, I'm not asking that they waive the $80.
They took the time to work on it and look at it, they deserve to get paid for it.
I understand not covering the shifter area, it was underwater.
The column wasn't.
I would never expect them to cover something they weren't supposed to, but I'm not going to stop them if they choose to.
I took it up there to have the key transponder reprogrammed, not have everything torn apart.

Hang in there, Crash. Right now, I wouldn't make any decisions until you get the list. Then you'll be able to see what you need them to fix and what you can do yourself. The only thing I'd be concerned about is some fine print somewhere setting a time limit on how long you can leave your Jeep there until they can auction it or something. Might want to ask the old sales manager.

My financial situation was not this severe when the accident occured. Now, however we are in more of a bind, and I am without any money. That just means I need to sell more of my stuff.
As for taking it in,
They've never charged me for anything before, even replacing parts soaked with mud, and they said nothing of the charge when I dropped it off.
I'm gathering some things to take to the pawn shop.
I'll get the money.
My Insurance company doesn't cover offroad.
Thanks.
