problem #4

Sep 152009

Patriot Sport 4 cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 40,000 miles

For the past week there has been standing water on the floor behind the drivers seat. I haven't taken it to a dealership yet and after reviewing the other complaint, not sure I want to pay them for something they can't fix. Considering enacting my lemon law rights.

Patriot ES V4

  • Automatic transmission
  • 33,000 miles

After a hard rain I noticed that my windows on my patriot were fogging up. My husband said I had a leak and water was inside somewhere. So I looked inside to see if there was water standing and did not see anything. The next morning I pulled out of my driveway and water gushed out of my front dome light and ran into my a/c vent and into my radio. Took it to the dealer THAT DAY(Sept.9,2009) and they told me to come back the next day, and they were rude about it. So, they next (Sept.10,2009) day I brought it in at 9am and at 3:30 they had it ready. I will be picking it up today and I am sure It will still have the same moldy smell now and water standing in the tire well. I did tell them were the water was and they needed to make sure to take care of that. But, I doubt they did.

problem #1

Patriot 4WD 4.0L cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 7,000 miles

For the third time I have noticed standing water on the floor behind the drivers seat. For a third time I took to the dealership. Not surprising they were unable to fix. Vowed to never even think about buying a Jeep again. Considering enacting my lemon law rights
