No but I notice it drips a lot underneath leaving a puddle. Is that normal?

 

If you are talking about under the Jeep onto the ground, yes.
Air conditioning not only cools the air but also takes out the humidity (water vapor condenses to water). The water droplets collect on the evaporator coil (sometimes called the cooling coil) and then falls into the drain and out onto the ground.


packof50, has it been extremely humid where you are lately? I have not experienced anything out the ordinary in the Patriot, but my old Dakota's air used to get really cold and water vapor in the cabin would condense around the vents.

 

Here's the pic of where the droplets come from:

(please don't mind the floor mat brand)

By the way, my Patriot is a 2008 North model.

 

I would say the condensation drain is blocked. Take it to the dealer for them to fix. Like JoeBecker I also had a Dakota and it's drain blocked up twice on me. I had the extended warranty so the dealer repaired it both times.

 

Yes, take it to the dealer.

My Dakota's drain never got blocked up. The condensation that was happening to me was the plastic right below the dash air vents getting cold enough for cabin air to condense on it (like a "sweating" glass of ice water). The A/C on that pickup was exceptionally cold, just how I like it.
