To my knowledge it seems like an issue on the drain of the AC system.... My dealer unclogged my vent system when I had a my charger... it turns out that debris and leaf where obstructing the drain passage.......

| Post subject: | Passenger side leak underneath glove box |
This is an interesting one, which might not be apparent until after a LOT of rain. I had been noticing a damp carpet whilst vacuuming out my Jeep some time ago. Then we got hit with a week of bad rain. Last Sunday I noticed a nice (?) puddle on the floor of the passenger side foot area. The floor mat was soaked, the carpet also. I removed the plastic trim that runs along the passenger door sill and onto the right "wall" of the foot area to find no apprent source of a leak. I was headed out of town so left the detailed inspection for later. I just mopped up the water as best I could and hit the road. A couple of days later, I removed the trim again and found a drip coming from a "knob" of pink foam protruding from the steel on the right side of the foot area. I pressed on the foam to find a large amount of water seeping from it - the filler foam in behind the steel seems to be saturated. I popped the hood this evening to see a potential entry point for the water - you can see the pink foam, which I'm guessing is for noise prevention, but I don't see a way to seal up the area around the hood to prevent future flooding. Right now I'm drying out the floor material with a ceramic heater. Digger, do you happen to know of a TSB for this issue? Has anyone else had this happen, that knows about it? I might be wrong, but it might be worth checking into. I'm going to the dealership with it in the next week or so. |

OK great thanks, at least that's something I can suggest to the dealership. Would that still cause saturation of the pink foam though? EDIT: I should add that we had an immense amount of rain too... possibly that has soaked the foam. I will still have them look at the a/c drain though. |
