Description of the problem	I have a 2008 jeep patriot, my jeep started leaking from the map light, dome light and cargo light the water ran into my a/c unit and my cd changer, gear shift, glove compartment and all over my carpet and seats, in sept. Of 2009 after a heavy rain we were in a drought until then. I got the car back and the dealership said the leak was fixed, they said they had to connect the drain tubes. Once i got my car back i noticed after another rain i had water standing in my tire well once again, after the last leak my car started stalling on take off. I was entering onto a very busy street and it stalled as i was pulling out and almost got hit by a dump truck. I once again took the jeep back to the dealer to have it fixed, they replaced the sun roof seal and the seals around the hatched, they said it was fixed. After another rain i noticed my jeep is leaking again, when i turned on the a/c water started coming out of the defrost vent and my carpet was wet, and a strong smell of mold coming out my vents with the air. I took it back into the dealership and told them about the leak,and the water and smell of mold coming out of my a/c vents. I looked over the car with the service manager and we noticed black mold growing in the head liner she also was able to smell the mold coming out of my a/c unit. I also noticed that my car was cutting out again while driving. I am very concerned about a fire or some other major electrical part going out due to the water leaks that have occured. I am also worried about safety issues concerning the car stalling; and am worried it is going to cause an accident or health issues due to the black mold.
