Description of the problem	I purchased my 2008 jeep patriot in summer 2010. In spring 2011 (when it actually rains in texas) i noticed a puddle of water inside the floorboard of my car. I ignored it, but the next time it rained and i was in my car i learned how the mysterious puddle of water got into my car, through the dome light that was full of water. I took it to a mechanic and they could not figure out how the water got in. When i tried explaining to them my witness of the water leaking through the dome light, they could not find a leak anywhere. Since then, i have had multiple leaks in my car coming from the light inside my car and the piece to the left side of the windshield. Anytime i try to explain it to a jeep dealership/take it to a mechanic to look at it, they "can't find a problem". Honestly, after spending hundreds of dollars for people to tell me they cannot find anything i have given up. Over time, lights in the buttons of my radio have burned out, lights in my ac have burned out, but today i am letting my voice be heard... We had a downpour last thursday in north texas and i turned my car on friday to once again the dome light leaking water (not a shocker for me anymore because unfortunately this is the norm) and my radio completely burned out. I cannot turn it on, see the time, nothing. It's gone. I called the jeep dealership friday morning and he mentioned he just got off the phone with 2 others who are having the exact same issues with their jeeps. It's now monday and it has rained all night. I got into my jeep this morning to go to work and my car wont even turn on now. It was working fine yesterday before the rain and now i am pretty sure it has completely shorted my cars electrical out. This needs to be recalled and fixed. There is no reason i should be paying hundreds of dollars for someone to tell me there is not a problem when there clearly is.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
