| Description of the problem | After a storm i got into my new 2014 jeep patriot which only has 8,000 miles on it and i noticed that my dome light above the cd player in the headliner was completely full of water. I was unable to take it out so i had to drive home like that and everytime i went around a curve water gushed out of my dome light all over me and my dash and cd player. Then another day it was raining and i was driving the jeep and water droplets kept falling from the headliner/light area. I took it to the dealership and they have had to take the headliner down and work on it for over 2 weeks to fix the problem. |
