| Description of the problem | 1. Rained outside 2. Failure is of chrysler's nonexistent customer support, poor product, and engineering. Problem is well documented, please go to www. Jeeppatriot. Com, search forum for "water leak." or simply google "water leak jeep patriot." this is my particular thread. As you can see... Water is falling out like a waterfall. Http://www. Jeeppatriot. Com/forum/showthread. Php? T=22477 3. Dealer has fixed this problem twice, and i doubt it is truly fixed. First time occurred in feb. 09, and then 2nd time in july 09. It will occur again, it is only a matter of time. Sunroof drain tubes "cleaned" said by dealership, but i have used my sunroof maybe 3 times in my 9 + months of owning this car, and this problem is well documented and persistent. There is no reason, absolutely zero why drain tubes should be clogged. Its never open... |
