I purchased a 2009 jeep patriot in july of 2013 with 27,000 miles. From the very first hard rain fall the sunroof leaked. For the first few months, due to insufficient rainfall, I thought I had not properly closed the sunroof the few times it leaked. However, soon afterwards it became clear that it was leaking. The water enters my interior roof and trails to the lowest point, my dome lights and screw holes, where it exits onto my dash and radio. My radio has been damaged. I took it to a garage last week and they unstopped the drainage tubes for $224.00. It did not leak for about a week and then I went out this morning, after a heavy rainfall last night, and it was leaking again! I have found and contacted an attorney who has filed a class action lawsuit against chrysler for this problem.

During an overnight rain, water entered the vehicle from the sunroof, effecting the dome light, where water was dripping from. After researching google there is over 100 complaints about water leaking from the sun roof and jeep has done nothing to fix this.

During an overnight rain, water entered the vehicle from the sunroof, effecting the dome light, where water was dripping from. This has occurred several times throughout the years. Each time the dealer claims to have fixed it. It recurs about every 10 mos.,after a heavy rainfall. It causes mold and mildew on the roof liner, which is unhealthy, and water through the dome light, can easily cause a short and possible fire. This should be on the recall list, but as of yet no action has been taken. It is my understanding that many complaints on this issue have been filed, by owners of the patriot as well as other jeep vehicles.

The vehicle leaks during rain storms and the water enters the cabin through the forward and aft dome lights. Multiple trips to the dealer have not resolved this problem. The vehicle has a sun roof and I suspect the roof is out of alignment allowing water to enter the cab.
