10/16/2008 - purchased new 2008 Jeep Patriot 04/01/2009 - dome leak reported to dealership - no findings 11/03/2009 - dome leak reported to dealership - seal on sunroof glass was replaced and drains were unclogged 03/14/2009 - dome leak reported to dealership - drains were unclogged 11/18/2009 - dome leak reported to dealership - drains were unclogged 07/23/2014 - dome leak reported to dealership - out of warranty - referred to Chrysler - referred back to dealership. Evaluation and cost to repair this on going issue is on the customer. There are numerous reports via the internet and a law suit against Chrysler (findings unknown) for not notifying customers of the issue. As a consumer and owner, Chrysler, dealerships and the service departments have knowledge of the issue and have not found a permanent solution and I was told on 7/24/2014, by the service staff at the dealership not to purchase a vehicle with a sunroof. Chrysler should find a permanent solution and the cost should not be placed on the consumer for the repair and "maintenance" of a known design problem with a water leakage in the dome light, to the electrical parts of the vehicle.
