What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owns a 2011 jeep patriot. While driving approximately 35-40 MPH, the contact noticed boiling hot water coming from a clogged air conditioning drain tube, which overflowed between the engine compartment and the firewall. In addition, water dripped down onto the leg of the driver and caused a burn. Medical attention was not required.
My vehicle is having troubles starting. The vehicle does not want to even turn over. The horn goes off at random times. The moon roof opens and closes at random times. The brake lights do not work(even after new bulbs are put in). The turn signals do not always work.
