2008 JEEP PATRIOT 4X4 Structure Problems

AFTER SNOW HAS MELTED, THE MAPLIGHT LEAKS WATER ALL OVER THE INSIDE. I'M CONCERNED THAT THERE WILL BE WIRING ISSUES FOR THE SUNROOF AND THE LIGHT AS WELL AS ANYTHING IN THE DASH DUE TO THE WATER GOING EVERYWHERE. PRIOR ISSUES W/WATER LEAKING IN THE FIREWALL AND LEAVING AN INCH OF WATER ON THE DRIVERS FLOOR (3 ATTEMPTS TO GET IT FIXED) RESULTED IN CHRYSLER PAYING A PORTION DUE TO BEING OUT OF WARRANTY. WATER SHORTED OUT WIRES RUNNING UNDER THE FLOOR FOR DASH LIGHTS, ANTI LOCK BRAKES WANTED TO KICK IN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, 4WHEEL DRIVE WOUDL NOT WORK AND THE CRUISE CONTROL WOULD NOT WORK. NOW BACK TO DEALING W/WATER AGAIN LEAKING OUT THE MAP LIGHT, VERY FRUSTRATED AND ANGRY! *TR

AT ABOUT 15,000 MILES WE STARTED TO HERE "CLUNKING" WHEN DRIVING THE CAR, HAD IT IN SEVERAL TIMES FOR SUN ROOF LEAKS AND HAD THE DEALER TAKE A LOOK, BUT THEY COULD NEVER FIND ANYTHING. THIS WEEK HAD IT IN FOR THE 5-YEAR CHECK UP AND IN THE NOTES IT STATED THAT THE FRONT CONTROL ARMS ARE BAD. DID A SEARCH TO FIND OUT MORE DETAILS AND CAME ACROSS ALL THESE POSTS FROM OTHER USERS. LOOKS LIKE I'M NOW STUCK WITH A LARGE REPAIR, SIMILAR TO OTHER USERS, FOR SOMETHING THAT WAS AN ISSUE EARLY ON. ALL THE MILES HAVE BEEN HIGHWAY MILES. NOT AT ALL HAPPY RIGHT NOW. IF THEY WERE AWARE OF THE ISSUE EARLY ON, WHY WAS IT NOT FOUND AND REPAIRED DURING THAT WARRANTY PERIOD? *TR

WATER LEAKS THROUGH DOME LIGHTS, SHORTING OUT ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. *TR

REAR LIGHT/FLASHLIGHT LEAKS WHEN IT RAINS! I HAVE HAD IT FIXED 5 TIMES AND IT HAS NEVER BEEN FIXED! I'M GETTING VERY ANNOYED OVER THIS PROBLEM. I LOOKED ONLINE AND I SEE THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT HAS HAD AND IS STILL HAVING THIS PROBLEM. I'M NOT A HAPPY CUSTOMER OF THIS MODEL NOW. VERY POOR WHEN NO ONE CAN FIX THE PROBLEM! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP PATRIOT 4X4. THE CONTACT FELL ASLEEP WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED AND LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS FLIPPED THIRTEEN TIMES AS THE ENTIRE ROOF SEPARATED FROM THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT WAS REPORTED INURED AND A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS DECLARED DESTROYED AND TOWED TO A SALVAGE LOT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ROOF SEPARATION WAS A SEVERE SAFETY RISK. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP PATRIOT 4X4. WHILE DRIVING GREATER THAN 40 MPH WITH BOTH REAR WINDOWS OPENED, THE UNDERCARRIAGE OF THE VEHICLE SHAKES VIOLENTLY. THE CONTACT IS UNABLE TO SEE ONCOMING TRAFFIC THROUGH THE SIDE MIRROR AND THE NOISE IS UNBEARABLE. THE MANUFACTURER TOOK A REPORT AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS DESIGNED IN THAT MANNER; THEREFORE, THEY WOULD NOT ASSIST. THE DEALER AGREED WITH THE MANUFACTURER AND FOUND NO FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,506 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 5,622. UPDATED 09/25/08 *BF UPDATED 09/26/08. *JB

HEADLINER IS LOOSE IN MY 2008 JEEP PATRIOT. SLAPS VIOLENTLY AGAINST ROOF. NOISE IS SO LOUD, IT SOUNDS LIKE A HELICOPTER (NO EXAGGERATION). THIS HAPPENS WHEN A WINDOW IS DOWN WHILE DRIVING. TO AN UNSUSPECTING DRIVER, THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. IT SCARED ME THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED. MY SIX YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS IN THE BACK SEAT AS I WAS TAKING HER FOR HER FIRST RIDE IN MY BRAND NEW CAR, SHE PUT THE BACK WINDOW DOWN AND THIS LOUD HELICOPTER NOISE CAME OUT OF NOWHERE. I LITERALLY JUMP IN MY SEAT AS I WAS DRIVING. I COULD HAVE VERY EASILY WRECKED THE CAR FROM THE SCARE OF THE SUDDEN NOISE OVERHEAD. THIS IS ALSO POTENTIALLY DAMAGING TO YOUR EARS (IT IS THAT LOUD). CHRYSLER / JEEP REFUSES TO FIX IT BECAUSE ALL 2008 JEEP PATRIOTS HAVE THE "SAME DESIGN FLAW" (YES THEY ADMIT IT). I HAVE COMPLAINED TO...
