Description of the problem	2009 jeep patriot water collects in the rear inside dome light and leaks out onto the interior floor. Occurs when it rains and when having the vehicle washed. Somehow water gets into the interior rear light. Dealer has no clue as to why this is happening. Vehicle is now at dealer for investigation and hopefully at solution. Previous returns to the dealer resulted in applying silicone around the small hose and opening surrounding it in the ridge above the tailgate opening. Lifting the tailgate exposes the area where the gate meets or overlaps the vehicle. While this may not be considered a "safety" hazard, it is very disheartening to buy a brand new vehicle only to find it leaks when it rains. Worse yet, no one seems to know why or where the water is coming from. It could pose a safety issue if the water gets to the electrical system... As already seems to have taken place... The light belongs to the electrical system. One of my fears leaving it to be investigated is that the parts removed to find the leak may not go back as good as new.
