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.

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.

Water leaking under the dash which causes the gas and brake pedals to become very slippery. It is also a horrible distraction since it happens on every turn or hill. There is also a horrible clunking noise that is coming from the front end of the car that has been reported as the a arm bolts but they continue to ignore the service bulletin just because my VIN # is not included in the list of cars but my make and model as well as the year is included.

I have a 2008 jeep patriot, my jeep started leaking from the map light, dome light and cargo light the water ran into my A/C unit and my cd changer, gear shift, glove compartment and all over my carpet and seats, in sept. Of 2009 after a heavy rain we were in a drought until then. I got the car back and the dealership said the leak was fixed, they said they had to connect the drain tubes. Once I got my car back I noticed after another rain I had water standing in my tire well once again, after the last leak my car started stalling on take off. I was entering onto a very busy street and it stalled as I was pulling out and almost got hit by a dump truck. I once again took the jeep back to the dealer to have it fixed, they replaced the sun roof seal and the seals around the hatched, they said it was fixed. After another rain I noticed my jeep is leaking again, when I turned on the A/C water started coming out of the defrost vent and my carpet was wet, and a strong smell of mold coming out my vents with the air. I took it back into the dealership and told them about the leak,and the water and smell of mold coming out of my A/C vents. I looked over the car with the service manager and we noticed black mold growing in the head liner she also was able to smell the mold coming out of my A/C unit. I also noticed that my car was cutting out again while driving. I am very concerned about a fire or some other major electrical part going out due to the water leaks that have occured. I am also worried about safety issues concerning the car stalling; and am worried it is going to cause an accident or health issues due to the black mold.

Water leak, rear dome light, rear dome light fills up with water than leaks into spare tire wheel well. Fear short will occur in light. Leaks every time it rains or go through a car wash. I saw water in the back of the vehicle from almost first day I bought it, but thought it came from rear hatch when I opened it. But one day I saw water dripping from the rear dome light. My 08 patriot is at the dealers now and has been there for two weeks. This is the fifth time at the dealers. Dealer has no idea where it leaks. They even took it to a body shop. The dealer said they can make it leak but don't know how to fix it. I filed a complaint with chrysler . Still waiting and trying to get them to buy it back since it is still under warranty. I am passed the lemon law date in va. Anything older than 18 months is to late to file a lemon law claim.
