water leaking

[jmart21]

Guys,
See if you can help me. I bought a 2004 GC 1 month ago and every time a hard rain comes in my driver side floorboard is flooded. Any suggestions are welcome.

Have taken it in 3 times and not solved yet.
1. Steering column cowling
2. Firewall leak followed by new carpeting
3. sitting at dealership as we speak

Thanks for any help

Demand they fix it, if they cant, tell them you want another Jeep.

Thay will fix it

I agree, but I have no clue what would be causing something like that, thats pretty crazy.

[MrKill]

yea, it shouldnt leak at all, there was a defect in manufacturing somewhere

Warranty will take care of that its probably a faulty door seal or the cowl is leaking.

are u running a/c when it rains? could be leaking condensation from plugged drain. more common on early models

But it's a brand new GC, so it shouldnt do that.

Iam not running the A/C but it would drain on the other side not the driver side

I have the exact same problem on my 2002 GC. We thought it was the sunroof, but after having 3 of them replaced I still have the issue. Any ideas?

I just read a thread about a leak under the luggage rack, here what this jeeper had to say

"Val, if your vehicle is a Grand Cehrokee (new body style) the water is more than likely coming from the upper body joint in the windshield or from the body seam under the luggage rack. The water will run down the inside of the winshield pillar trim, through the bakside of the dash and leak on the floor. A simple check would be to take it to an auto car wash and have them stop the vehicle in the middle and spray the #$%^ out of the windshield and luggage rack. This is a know problem with the new body style Cherokees and actually both sides leak."
