Example complaints

“There is a horrible leak from the front dome light fixture when driving in the rain. Water pours out from the fixture as you are driving. Pours. Seems to be a very common issue with Jeep patriots, and Jeep refuses to acknowledge that there is a problem. I've seen many complaints for this exact problem on many web sites about this specific issue, and the common theme is that Jeep doesn't know how to repair the problem, and won't acknowledge that this is a common problem with this model.”
