2008 Jeep Patriot Exterior lighting Problems

“Bought a used Jeep Patriot 2008. My Jeep is garage kept, but when I am at work, and it rains, the sunroof leaks. I did some research online and I see that is a common problem. Just wanted my vehicle added to let them know my sunroof leaks.”

“My 2008 Jeep Patriot was parked on my driveway (no trees around to cause a clog) for a month, while on vacation. When I came back, the trunk and the back seat floors were full of mold due to water leaking thru the back dome light. Then after doing some research I learned that the leaking dome light is a common problem on the 2007 and 2008 Jeep patriots. Unfortunately for me it has become a bigger problem than just a leak because my Jeep is now full of mold and cannot not be driven for the meantime as it is a hazard for my children health.”

“Less than a year from buying the Patriot a severe wayer leakage started from the sunroof, sides and interior light of the Jeep. I literally need an umbrella inside the Jeep in order to protect me from not getting all wet. This happened continuously and can happen with the Jeep parked or running. This make me have to stop driving everytime it start to rain because of my reaction and reflects when it happens driving had made me loose the control of the vehicle and being very close to cause an accident. …”

“I bought this Jeep used and the first time it rained, water came in from the sunroof into the car, there was water in the dome lights, running out of the headliner, running through the electrical components. Now I see that this is a known issue with this model but chrysler has not recalled or done anything to correct in the current model year. I am afraid fo rmy safety driving this vehicle with water coming in contact with electronics or water coming into my face, on my steering wheel while driving causing a distraction. …”

“My 2008 Jeep Patriot is leaking from the dome light after heavy rain this past weekend. The seats in my car, the rug and dash were so wet I'm still airing out my car and I'm so paranoid about mold and rust, or even worse the car creating a short circuit while my kids are in the car. My radio went out as well as a result of all the water leaking through, this is so upsetting. I was so disgusted to find out that there were so many people with this same exact problem and Jeep not recalling these cars or at least sending a voucher for whatever the expenses are to fix it. …”
