1996 Jeep Cherokee: water leaks into the cabin

Filed Apr 2, 2004 · Body · 5,740 miles · MD

This is the 3rd time I am complaining about a water leak in my 96 cherokee driver side floor. The problem started 1 year ago and I have spent a over $900 to have it fixed by the dealer (antwerpen, baltimore, md 21228). Since this is the 3rd occurrence in one year, I think the problem is a structural defect and that chrysler should stand behind it and fix it. It goes back to antwerpen on 4/5 for another go around. I concept is they are staling and waiting for the warranty on the 1st repair to run out, but sorry this isn't going to happen, even it I have to take it there weekly until somebody fixes it properly.

In 2003 I experience leaking water from under the dash on both the passenger side and driver's side in pouring rain. Vehicle was taken to dealer and fixed for $766. Now in march 2004, just before the original warranty on the first fix runs out the leak is back. Vehicle went to dealer, they say it is now leaking some where else (around the driver's door,doesn't explain why I am getting water on the passenger side) fix gaskets for $220. Waiting for next leak, which I am will come. Chrysler refused to fix the second leak under the first warranty.

This is the second time I have had water leakage from under the dash onto the driver's side floor soaking everything. The occurence was 5/2/03, problem fixed at dealer (antwerpen, baltimore) for $766. Now less than a year later the same problem is occuring. I am due to take iit in next week, how much do you want to bet the problem will be diagnoised as leaking in a different place so they won't have to honor the orginial repair warranty. This is almost a given. First of all this problem should not be happening at all. There obviously is a structural problem with the truck when it was made. I have also read several compliants from other owners and jeep/chrysler refuses to fix the problem. I do not call this customer service at all expecially when it is the second time around.

Rain water leaks in under dash on driver's side soaking floorboard. Feet become wet making brake and gas pedals slippery. Dealer attempted to fix two times under warranty, but dealer and chrysler corp. Refuse to fix problem now the vehicle is not under warranty. The leak is most severe when vehicle is parked during heavy rain.

During winter weather water gets into wheels, behind the spokes. The water freezes to ice, causing strain on vehicle when driving until ice melts.
