| 2007 jeep patriot. consumer states water poured into vehicle over dashboard during rain *tgw the consumer also stated the rain came through the light fixture and also the small seams on both sides of the ceiling. the vehicle was taken to a glass repair shop, but they were unable to find any leaks in the windshield. the consumer stated during another rainstorm, water began coming down on the her head. a year later, hot water began pouring onto the consumer's feet while driving. the dealer informed her, the channels were clogged. there was also a problem with a latch holding a speaker in the hatch. somehow, the latch snapped in half and every time, the consumer opened the hatch, it would come down extremely fast. the latch wasn't accessible unless the speaker was down. on one occasion, her son was being held by someone and when the hatch was lifted, the speaker came flying down into the child's face, which resulted in a bleeding gash on his forehead. *jb | |||

| This is a complaint about the fuel issue that i have seen on here already.when i go to put fuel into the gas tank, it will not stop at the end as it's filling up. it just overflows. i would say at least a few cups of fuel flows down the side of the jeep and down into the bottom of the vehicle and wheel well. i know that at some point it will lead to rust/corrosion among many other issues. i really wish this could be looked at and possibly fixed by manufacturer. it doesn't make sense that there are more than enough complaints about the same issue, with no help from the manufacturer. i also have the same problems as others with the windows. the regulator has a piece that breaks and then the whole regulator has to be replaced. this has happened 3 times already on different windows. lastly, i just recently had an issue where the jeep wouldn't start. the console lights and guages work fine and it acted like all was well, but the car wouldn't turn over when the key was turned. the result was the ignition switch actuator pin. it has a piece that breaks off and when that happens, the jeep wont be able start. it isn't an easy fix for someone who isn't mechanically capable. again, this is an issue that has happened to many people and honestly the manufacturer should do something about this. i could complain about more, but let's just leave it at that. | |||
