2009 Jeep Patriot Fwd

THE SUNROOF LEAKS. I TAKE IT TO THE DEALER, THEY SAY THEY CAN 'FIX' IT. THEY BLOW OUT THE DRAIN LINES. THAT DOES NOT FIX IT, WITHIN A FEW MONTHS IT IS BLOCKED/KINKED AGAIN. WHY DOES THE WATER DRIP THROUGH THE WINDOW SEAL ANYWAY? SEEMS THAT IS WHAT NEEDS FIXING. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE RADIO-$550.00-AND EVERY TIME THEY BLOW OUT THE DRAIN LINES, IT IS $35.00. THIS IS MY 5TH AND LAST JEEP PRODUCT. IT IS PARKED IN A GARAGE ALL DAY AT WORK AND ALL NIGHT AT HOME. WHAT WOULD THE PROBLEM BE LIKE IF I PARKED IT UNDER TREES? NOW THE MAP LIGHTS DON'T WORK FROM THE WATER DAMAGE, AND YES, I KNOW, IT IS PAST WARRANTY-IN THE BEGINNING, YOU THINK YOU LEFT IT OPEN A CRACK, OR IT IS COLD AND SOMETHING IS FROZEN, AND THEN THE DEALER SAYS THEY CAN 'FIX' THE PROBLEM. AND NOW, FINALLY, I AM REALIZING THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW-I GOOGLED IT, AND I AM AMONG THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WITH THIS PROBLEM. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO FIX THIS ISSUE. *TR

JEEP IS LEAKING WATER THROUGH THE FRONT MAP LIGHT, SUNROOF, "A" PILLARS, AND REAR INTERIOR HATCH LIGHT. SERVICE WAS PERFORMED ON 10-8-2013 AND THE WATER LEAK STARTED AGAIN ON 03-24-2014. CHRYSLER DID ISSUE A SERVICE BULLETIN #23-016-10 ON SEPTEMBER 10, 2010 BUT NO RECALL WAS ISSUED. THERE IS WATER ACCUMULATING INSIDE THE PILLAR'S AND I CONCERNED WITH THE SAFETY AIR BAGS AND MOLD ISSUES. *TR

IMMEDIATELY AFTER PURCHASING THE 2009 JEEP PATRIOT AN INTERIOR WATER LEAK WAS DISCOVERED. THE FIRST VISIT TO DEALER WAS 11/3/09 WITH 2282 MILES ON IT. NEXT VISIT WAS 11/17/2009. ANOTHER VISIT ON 1/6/10 WITH 5790 MILES ON IT. ANOTHER VISIT ON 9/14/10 AT 12170 MILES. YET ANOTHER VISIT ON 9/24/10 AT 12435 MILES. AGAIN ON 12/7/10 AT 14897. IT HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER OVER 7 TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM. EVERYTIME THEY SAY IT IS FIXED ONLY TO DISCOVER IT IS STILL LEAKING. WATER COMES INTO THE OVERHEAD ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AND RUNS OUT OF THE OVERHEAD LIGHTS LIKE A FAUCET OR WATERFALL. WATER PONDS ON THE REAR CARGO AREA AND THIS AREA IS COMPLETELY SOAKED. WATER IS EVEN DONE IN SPARE WHEEL STORAGE. WATER COMES FROM ALL OVERHEAD LIGHTS DEPENDING ON PITCH OF VEHICLE. UNKNOWN IF WATER IS RUNNING DOWN INTERIOR SIDES OF VEHICLE OR WHERE ELSE WATER IS POOLING. CONCERNED ABOUT MOLD, RUST, WATER DAMAGE, ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS, ETC., THAT ARE BEING CAUSED BY WATER ENTERING VEHICLE. DEALERSHIP HAS "FIXED" IT NUMEROUS TIMES ONLY TO NOT HAVE IT FIXED. VEHICLE IS SCHEDULED FOR RETURN VISIT TO DEALER FOR ANOTHER ATTEMPT AT FIXING THIS PROBLEM. VEHICLE REPAIRS HAVE BEEN COVERED BY WARRANTY BUT I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE LONGTERM DAMAGE AND REPAIRS NEEDED AFTER WARRANTY EXPIRES AND THE DAMAGE THE WATER IS CAUSING TO MY VEHICLE. *TR

1. RAINED OUTSIDE 2. FAILURE IS OF CHRYSLER'S NONEXISTENT CUSTOMER SUPPORT, POOR PRODUCT, AND ENGINEERING. PROBLEM IS WELL DOCUMENTED, PLEASE GO TO WWW.JEEPPATRIOT.COM, SEARCH FORUM FOR "WATER LEAK." OR SIMPLY GOOGLE "WATER LEAK JEEP PATRIOT." THIS IS MY PARTICULAR THREAD. AS YOU CAN SEE...WATER IS FALLING OUT LIKE A WATERFALL. HTTP://WWW.JEEPPATRIOT.COM/FORUM/SHOWTHREAD.PHP?T=22477 3. DEALER HAS FIXED THIS PROBLEM TWICE, AND I DOUBT IT IS TRULY FIXED. FIRST TIME OCCURRED IN FEB. 09, AND THEN 2ND TIME IN JULY 09. IT WILL OCCUR AGAIN, IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME. SUNROOF DRAIN TUBES "CLEANED" SAID BY DEALERSHIP, BUT I HAVE USED MY SUNROOF MAYBE 3 TIMES IN MY 9 + MONTHS OF OWNING THIS CAR, AND THIS PROBLEM IS WELL DOCUMENTED AND PERSISTENT. THERE IS NO REASON, ABSOLUTELY ZERO WHY DRAIN TUBES SHOULD BE CLOGGED. ITS NEVER OPEN... *TR
