| Description of the problem | Anytime rainfall is experienced, a huge leak occurs coming through the front dome light. It appears this leak is caused by a defect within the drainage tubes attached to the sunroof of the vehicle. Every time this happens, 8oz-12oz of water come splashing down onto the center console from the front dome light. This causes potential damage to the cars radio and power sockets below, as well as a huge visual interference while driving. Each time i am driving during rainfall or shortly after, i must hold a catching device (a cup, etc) to catch the water manually while it is falling from the ceiling, which impairs my ability to drive safely. This seems to be a consistent problem with jeep patriots 2007-2017 after doing some research online. This looks to be a manufacture defect. Jeep (chrysler) does not cover repairs or replacements for this problem. |
