Description of the problem	This issue may have started way earlier, since the patriot electrical system on the dash board would sometimes come on and then go off intermittently. I reported it during the first year, 2008 and a few times during 2009 and 2010. I had not have this problem again until earlier this year. Checks by dealership came back, "nothing is wrong". That's it!! This year the problem got worst, intermittently, my headlights, turn signal, wipers would not work. Hazard lights will not work. One day it rained and i realized the wipers did not work, i had to pull over for safety. This is a serious safety issue. The dealership spend all day trying to figure out what was wrong, unplug the computer, rebooted and then everything worked. Five hours later, the same problem happened again. I got charge 100 dollars for that, now i had to pay total of 317 dollars before tax for the parts and labor to put in wi fi body module. This equipment should be recalled, this is a serious safety issue. Also, i had to replace the ball bearing and arm three times!! This is ridiculous. I do not go off road, i don't go over pot holes.
