ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER
MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING MY JEEP PATRIOT TODAY. SHE NOTICED SOME SMOKE IN THE CABIN & PULLED OVER TO THE SHOULDER & GOT OUT JUST IN TIME. BY THE TIME THE FIRE DEPT GOT THERE, 10 MIN OR SO, THE CAR WAS COMPLETELY ENGULFED & IT BURNED TO THE GROUND. IT WAS A 2007 WITH 12,000 MI ON IT & WAS IN PERFECT CONDITION WITH NO PROBLEMS AT ALL UP UNTIL TODAY. SHE SAID SHE SMELLED A LITTLE ELECTRICAL SMOKE ( LIKE BURNING PLASTIC)JUST BEFORE & THOUGHT IT WAS COMING FROM THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
OUR CAR IS SHUTTING OFF ON US WHILE WE ARE DRIVING IT. WE HAVE COME CLOSE TO SEVERAL ACCIDENTS BOTH ON THE HIGHWAY AND ON THE FREEWAY. THE CAR HAS BEEN TO A "CERTIFIED JEEP DEALER" SEVERAL TIMES. TO WHICH THEY TELL ME THERE IS NOTHING THAT THEY CAN DO. I DON 'T KNOW IF IT IS THIS NEW MODEL OR WHAT THE CAUSE IS. *TR

STRUCTURE
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. *CN

JUNE 26, 2007 PURCHASED NEW 2007 JEEP PATRIOT, AND ON JUNE 29, 2007 -WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID BEGAN SPRAYING ERRATICALLY . ALSO, WHEN NOT ENGAGED, HEADLIGHTS LIGHTS DIDN'T ALWAYS COME ON, AND SOMETIMES UNABLE TO DISENGAGE HIGH BEAMS. JULY 1 - TOOK IT TO DEALER FOR SERVICE JULY 2 - CONTACTED BY DEALER WHO SAID THAT THEY COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM, BUT WHEN WE PICKED IT UP THE WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID WOULD NOT WORK AT ALL AND THE LIGHTS ONLY CAME ON INTERMITTENTLY....LEFT AT DEALER JULY 3 - CONTACTED BY DEALER WHO SAID THAT THERE WAS A TSB THAT THEY WERE PREVIOUSLY UNAWARE OF AND THAT THEY FIXED THE PROBLEM BY "RESETTING A BUTTON"...WE PICKED UP CAR AND 3 MILES DOWN THE ROAD WASHER FLUID BEGAN TO SPRAY ERRATICALLY SO THAT WE COULD NOT SEE OUT OF THE WINDSHIELD...WASHER FLUID WOULD NOT TURN OFF UNTIL CAR WAS TURNED OFF...DEALER PICKED CAR UP AGAIN JULY 6 - CONTACTED BY DEALER WHO STATED THAT THEY HAD REPLACED THE MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH AND THAT THE CAR WAS READY TO BE PICKED UP...PICKED UP CAR AND CHECKED FUNCTION OF THE WASHER FLUID - DID NOT WORK AT ALL. THE VEHICLE IS STILL AT THE DEALER.

EQUIPMENT, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHISTLING SOUND WHEN AIR IS ON (NOT NECESARILY AC). HIGH PITCHED WHISTLING SOUND IS EVIDENT ANY TIME AIR IS BLOWING ON HIGHEST OR NEXT TO HIGHEST SETTING. A LITTLE ANNOYING... SOMETIMES ENOUGH TO MOVE IT TO A LOWER SETTING JUST TO REDUCE WHISTLING SOUND.
