Water was first noticed in my vehicle when I first came out of work to go home. My vehicle was parked in a fire station parking lot overnight as I work 24 hours as a firefighter. I noticed a strong mildew odor and checked the floors and both rear passenger and driver side carpeting was soaking wet. I the pulled up the carpets and let the water drain onto the floor once this was complete I then pulled both drain plugs and let the water drain out. The total accumulation was approximately 1 1/2 inches of water. This was after a moderate rain no heavy gusts or anything of the sorts. I then called the dealership who then replaced all the door seals. They claimed they could not repeat the problem. Again on another morning after another rain I came out from work and yet again more water in the same location. I also went home that morning and water began to leak on me from the outside and also began leaking onto the dashboard as well as from both a and b posts this water then leaked onto my wife who was sitting in passengers front seat, the water also began to leak onto my son's arm who was sitting behind me in his car seat . On the 2 most recent occasions the same thing occurred now I have water on the floor boards as well as under the front driver side carpeting that is completely saturated with rain water. Both seatbelts are wet as well. I am now bringing in the vehicle for a third time for the same problem however, I did not pull the drain plugs as to allow the dealership to witness the alarming amount of water that leaks inside. Anytime it rains this vehicle is getting saturated inside. Now the interior smells like a wet dirty dog due to the water accumulating on the carpeting. The weather stripping on the doors has been replaced twice and each time with no success. This vehicle thankfully is garage kept with the exception of work. The vehicle has never been off-road and the roof is on securely and fastened correctly.
Purchased a '07 wrangler, leaks around pillars and rear view mirror when it rains, soaks carpet in floorboard, took vehicle to dealership and was informed that there was nothing they could do. A previous solution had been faulty and nothing new had become available.
2007 jeep unlimited 4 door 4x4 with 3 piece freedom hardtop. Hardtop roof has leaked since vehicle was purchased new in april 2007. Leak occurs at several locations at the two front panels above the driver and passenger. Vehicle has been into dealer five times for repair however roof still leaks, actually worse than before. Water is leaking on dash, into electronics and on vehicle occupants. This is very distracting while driving and may damage dash electronics if allowed to continue.
1-bought 2007 jeep wrangler brand new 2-soft top was leaking over seat belts, the floor behind the driver and passenger seats are wet after rains. 3-dealer said that the salesman put the top on wrong and it was fixed. Top still leaks, dealership said that all the soft tops leak and it is just that way. Now I always park my jeep in the garage, but sometimes I happen to be at work during a rain storm. I do not think it is right that dealerships can get away with this. There should be a recall on all the tops leaking. The manufacturer should pay for these to be fixed.
