| Description of the problem | Less than a year from buying the patriot a severe wayer leakage started from the sunroof, sides and interior light of the jeep. I literally need an umbrella inside the jeep in order to protect me from not getting all wet. This happened continuously and can happen with the jeep parked or running. This make me have to stop driving everytime it start to rain because of my reaction and reflects when it happens driving had made me loose the control of the vehicle and being very close to cause an accident. I've made multiple claims to the dealer and the central offices of the company here in pr and left my jeep multiple times in the dealer in order to solve the problem. They left me without any other car in order to transport myself for more than a week no matter the jeep was in warranty. I also was being mistreating by the manager employees and customer service personnel. I got tired of this situation and decided to a temporary solution made but my personal mechanic. If by any chance i have an accident and get injured or injured someone else i fully responsible jeep and all their co many for this and will take legal actions. I ve been doing research and there are multiple complaints regarding this and there are no solution or recall at all. Im just asking myself if they are waiting to have someone to get severe injured or dead in order to do something including all the safety agencies ??? I have multiple photos that can give faith of that im describing its true. |
