My 2012 jeep patriot has wet carpets on the driver side front and rear. The headliner is also leaking every time I go though the car wash or it rains heavily. This is a extremely common jeep patriot problem and it needs to be recalled. These jeeps are leaking constantly. I am tired of my jeep having wet carpets and water leaking from the roof. This will happen if I am moving or just parked. Water constantly comes in. This has happened ever since I bought my car.

The back passenger floor board is consistently soaking wet, with a standing puddle of water. Well dry it up as much as we can and the next morning if its rained the back passenger floor board will be completely wet again. The inside of the windows get extremely wet and dewy to were there is water dripping from them including the inside of the sunroof window. We again soak it all up, as much as we can. But the upholstery on the seats, sunroof cover and the headliner stay very dewy and moist to were your butt/pants and tail end of your shirt are both damp from sitting in it. We took it to the dealer and they stated the obvious that the carpet and the upholstery needed to be replaced and the jeep need to be completely dried out thoroughly, but that they couldn't find the issue as to what could be causing the leak. Needless to say that wasn't much help. Were very concerned and don't know what else to do, worried all the water is shorting out the electrical. The driver side seat heater hasn't been working since the leak issue.
