| I have a 2008 jeep patriot, my jeep started leaking from the map light, dome light and cargo light the water ran into my a/c unit and my cd changer, gear shift, glove compartment and all over my carpet and seats, in sept. of 2009 after a heavy rain we were in a drought until then. i got the car back and the dealership said the leak was fixed, they said they had to connect the drain tubes. once i got my car back i noticed after another rain i had water standing in my tire well once again, after the last leak my car started stalling on take off. i was entering onto a very busy street and it stalled as i was pulling out and almost got hit by a dump truck. i once again took the jeep back to the dealer to have it fixed, they replaced the sun roof seal and the seals around the hatched, they said it was fixed. after another rain i noticed my jeep is leaking again, when i turned on the a/c water started coming out of the defrost vent and my carpet was wet, and a strong smell of mold coming out my vents with the air. i took it back into the dealership and told them about the leak,and the water and smell of mold coming out of my a/c vents. i looked over the car with the service manager and we noticed black mold growing in the head liner she also was able to smell the mold coming out of my a/c unit. i also noticed that my car was cutting out again while driving. i am very concerned about a fire or some other major electrical part going out due to the water leaks that have occured. i am also worried about safety issues concerning the car stalling; and am worried it is going to cause an accident or health issues due to the black mold. *tr | |||

| Please see odi #'s 10262168 and 10268295 for history. this has been an ongoing issue for approximately 5000 miles / 4 months. vehicle intermittently stalls at various speeds, no mil or codes being stored. vehicle complaint mirrors issue listed below nhtsa campaign id number: 07v291000 nhtsa action number: pe07027 scheduled appointment for issue again approximately 1 month ago, at time of drop off vehicle was running fine. i was instructed by the service writer to try a higher quality of fuel such as chevron or shell, i had been using costco. after the 3rd fill-up of chevron fuel the vehicle began stalling again. i informed the dealer that i want to leave the vehicle for a few days to allow a tech to drive home in hopes that they witness the issue. while traveling on 07/05/09 i attempted to pass a slower vehicle on a 2 lane road, approximately 1/2 to 3/4 through passing the slower vehicle my vehicle began to stutter/stall, i had to slow abruptly and pull back into the lane behind the slower vehicle in order to avoid a head on collision with oncoming traffic. my wife refuses to drive the vehicle due to the threat of an accident. if the dealer is unable to diagnose and repair the issue on this attempt i will have to start a lemon law claim. *tr | |||

| Most of the lights on the dashboard lit up upon starting one day. car seemed to run fine, though. problem did not go away over 24-hrs so booked appt. with dealer repair shop. took the dealer more than 1 week to determine the problem. then took another week+ to repair and get the part in. they determined it was the abs module and replaced it. seems okay now. car was only few months old and it was inconvenient for me to arrange transportation to work while it was in the shop. *tr | |||
