Three problems related to structure have been reported for the 2007 Jeep Patriot. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
2007 Jeep Patriot interior water leak from map lights and a posts after rain or washing. Evidently a major problem with Jeep Patriot and other Jeep models. So far, no recall, but dealers can not fix it. Once there is enough water inside on the floor boards and in head liner the mold problems begin. When moving the water comes through the map lights and a post like a waterfall, splashing on dash and seats, etc.
Rain water leaks into the interior of the vehicle and finds its way down to the spare tire well which fills with several inches of water. Mold and mildew form in that area.
When parked in my driveway, at a slight incline, in the rain, the car leaks rain. The water fills the rear ceiling lamp and then spills out into the back of the vehicle. When significant rainfall occurs, the well for the spare tire has filled with several inches of water. This has created a situation for mold to grow, a mildewy smell, and I have concern about the water in the lamp. Vehicle was brought to dealership after first occurance and was "fixed", but during the next storm, it happened again. It's currently at the dealership awaiting repair for the second time. First occurance: 12/18/07 second occurance: 1/5/08.
