| Description of the problem | Water leak, rear dome light, rear dome light fills up with water than leaks into spare tire wheel well. Fear short will occur in light. Leaks every time it rains or go through a car wash. I saw water in the back of the vehicle from almost first day i bought it, but thought it came from rear hatch when i opened it. But one day i saw water dripping from the rear dome light. My 08 patriot is at the dealers now and has been there for two weeks. This is the fifth time at the dealers. Dealer has no idea where it leaks. They even took it to a body shop. The dealer said they can make it leak but don't know how to fix it. I filed a complaint with chrysler . Still waiting and trying to get them to buy it back since it is still under warranty. I am passed the lemon law date in va. Anything older than 18 months is to late to file a lemon law claim. *tw |
