SUNROOF OF 2008 DODGE NITRO SXT LEAKS AFTER IT RAINS. THE PROBLEM STARTED ONE MONTH AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED (MARCH 2009). DEALERSHIP COULD NOT FIND SOURCE OF THE LEAK ON FIRST OCCURENCE SO SUNROOF GLASS WAS ADJUSTED. SECOND OCCURENCE WAS IN APRIL OF 2009. LEAK WAS FINALLY DISCOVERED BY DEALERSHIP'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND ALL COMPONENTS DEALING WITH THE SUNROOF WAS "REPLACED". THIRD OCCURENCE OF SAME PROBLEM OCCURED IN EARLY JANUARY 2010. WATER THAT LEAKS INTO THE VEHICLE NOT ONLY WILL EVENTUALLY RUIN THE INTERIOR BUT THE WATER LEAKS IN AROUND A SET OF MAP LIGHTS LOCATED JUST ABOVE THE REAR VIEW MIRROR. THIS COMBINATION OF WATER AND ELECTRICITY COULD RESULT IN SOMEONE BEING ELECTROCUTED OR THE VEHICLE CATCHING ON FIRE AS A RESULT OF A SHORTAGE. *CN
