Jeep Water Leaks: Problems with Jeeps since 2008
Ben Franklin once wrote that the only two guarantees in life are death and taxes. Well, we would like to add a third guarantee to that list: there will be Jeeps on the road with water leak problems.
Since 2008, we have been flooded with calls from Jeep owners like Janae with leaking windows, sunroofs, soft top convertibles, hard top convertibles, dome lights, doors, and door handles. We’ve seen leaking Jeep Wranglers, leaking Jeep Patriots, leaking Jeep Grand Cherokees, and leaking Jeep Commanders. We’ve seen more than one leaking Jeep Liberty and a leaking Jeep Compass or two as well.
We’ve helped hundreds of Jeep owners with water damage to upholstery and electrical shorts from water leaks. Many of these cases have been wrapped up quickly and many of our clients have been awarded new vehicles or complete buybacks.
Nobody wants pools of water on the floor of their Jeep Commander or water damage to the seats of their Jeep Wrangler. But the Jeep leak problems have also led to a particularly troubling mold problem – it makes the vehicle unhealthy to drive and it brings about a terrible odor. Here are some problems our commenters have reported:
Do not wait until the seventh repair to seek legal help. Most states require three or four visits to a repair shop before the vehicle owner can take legal action.
Another tip: do not wait until your car’s warranty has expired to address the problem or you may be left out to dry without any legal leverage:
If you are dealing with mold or any other problems related to a water leak in your vehicle, make a service appointment with your dealership immediately. If you have an odor problem, try to locate where it is originating from – this will allow the dealer to help you more quickly.
Make sure the shop gives you a repair invoice for each trip you make regarding your Jeep leak. Keep them somewhere handy – you’ll need them if you have to open up a legal claim. And remember…
If the first repair doesn’t solve the problem and your Jeep leak returns, take your vehicle back to an authorized Jeep dealership – it doesn’t have to be the dealer you bought it from.
If continuous repairs do nothing to stop the leaks from happening and you repeatedly have to bring your vehicle back to the shop while it’s under warranty, you can take legal recourse under State Lemon Laws and Federal Warranty Laws and assert your rights.
If you are dealing with Jeep water leaks, fill out our Get Rid of Your Lemon form. We will review your situation and determine if/how we can help. You can also call us at 1 800 LEMON LAW (1-800-536-6652).

2011 wrangler unlimited 3 time being repaired for water leaks from floorboards
July 27th, 2013 at 4:40 pm
You want action? park your Jeep in front to the dealer where you bought it, WHERE PROSPECTIVE JEEP BUYERS WILL SEE IT. Fill it up with lemons or maybe put a big inflatable lemon on the roof. When you hurt their business, THEN you will get help.

I am on to buying my 4th seat belt for my 2005 Jeep Liberty. They don’t retrack and when they get caught in the door the nylon strap gets cut which makes it weaker and potentially unsafe. Jeep Chrysler will not stand behind their equipment. Still waiting for the recall repair for this car which has a gasoline tank that may explode in a rear collision.
January 3rd, 2014 at 12:46 am
I came back from a 4 day trip and when I got inside my 2008 Jeep Liberty I noticed that the floor mat of the passenger side was wet, it had been raining the past days and nobody had access to the car since I took the keys with me, I don’t know what to do, help?
April 18th, 2014 at 10:47 pm
I have a 2011 Jeep Wrangler. I have been dealing with a wet floor board on the driver’s side. I have had it to the dealer 2x. This last time the body shop manager said I must have lost a torx screw taking the whole top off and it was my fault. I have a 3 piece Freedom top and the only part I have removed are the panels above the driver and passenger, but never the whole thing. I believe the cause is coming from underneath the Jeep and not the door or panel seals. Has anyone every found out any correct info?

My 2008 jeep liberty leaks every time it rains. Leaks on the driver and passenger side inner roof and passenger side floor is drentched
April 16th, 2015 at 5:55 am
I have a 2012 wrangler unlimited. I had a leak, had it fixed early on. Took up floor mats after all winter, my floors are soaked. What can I do.

2009 jeep liberty leak center winshield – above drivers head —— bought it new!!!!!!! need person above dealer !!
August 18th, 2015 at 11:46 am
I have a 2007 Jeep Patriot. It has been brought back to the dealership twice under warranty for water coming in through the dome lights. Unfortunately, for me, the sunroof did not leak again until well after my warranty was up because my father cleaned out the drainage tubes. Now, however, it leaks almost every time it rains and it’s not only from the dome lights anymore. Rain comes through the panels on doors and yesterday it came through the windshield in front of my passenger side! A few weeks ago, there was about two inches of water on the foorboard behind my passenger side seat and getting the smell of mold out has been a challenge. My radio has also gone out twice because of the rain falling into it. Chrysler should be ashamed to produce products like these.
September 24th, 2015 at 12:34 pm
I have a 2012 Wrangler Sahara. With every rain, comes soggy floors. It smells so damp in the vehicle all of the time…I’m just waiting for the mold to appear. I cannot imagine this is good on the electrical wires that are housed under the plastic cover at the bottom of the doors either. I had my heart set on a Wrangler and now I am so disappointed….
October 6th, 2015 at 6:05 pm
Hi, I have a 2015 Jeep Wrangler Sahara unlimited, it only has 8000kms on it, I’ve have the freedom top seals changed 4 times since new. It’s leaked from day 1. I live in Canada. Is there anything I can do about this?
October 7th, 2015 at 2:01 pm
@Tony: Sadly, we only handle Lemon Law in the States. Google Canada Lemon Law.
October 14th, 2015 at 10:21 am
I have a 2014 Jeep Wrangler Sport and noticed wet floor boards on driver and passenger side. Noticed wet spots early on, but thought it was something I was doing or bad weather. Didn’t rain this weekend but floorboards still wet, now the carpet is starting to smell. Making an appointment to have it checked, fingers crossed!!!
November 2nd, 2015 at 3:39 pm
I bought a 2011 Jeep Wrangler last month. I bought it from a dealer. Rained, leaked! Horribly. It even held water in the back until we pulled the plug. Called dealer, they say we will have to pay for the replacement. I have mopar insurance on it. Supposed to cover any and everything! Can anyone relate or respond?
November 13th, 2015 at 12:48 pm
2015 Jeep Patriot purchased Sept. 2015. I’ve owned the Jeep for 52 days and today is day #22 in the shop for a leak in the floorboards. It has less then 500 miles on it and many of those miles have been on driving back and forth to the dealership trying to deal with the water. It’s on it’s 3rd stay in the service department and they can’t figure out the source of the leak. Dealership is finally calling Chrysler to see if they have any information to help them find the leak. I love the Jeep but paid way too much to have a water leak in a brand new vehicle. Gave up a dependable 98 Cherokee that stayed dry for a new “portable swimming pool”. I see a battle coming with Chrysler. Dealership is doing all they can and I don’t fault them. They are just trying to fix the product they are selling.

Hello,
I bought a 2013 Jeep Wrangler in July 2013. Within a month or so I discovered that my driver side floorboard was soaked. I took it to the dealer and they came up with a solution. However, fast forward to about 3 weeks ago and I discovered my driver and passenger side floorboards soaked. It’s in the dealer for the 3rd time now and has yet to be fixed. Anything I can do at this point or am I stuck?

I just bought a used 2012 wrangler. It leaked water on to the passenger floor. Dealer attempted repair and now have three leaks instead of one. No factory warranty will cover a vehicle with 50k miles. My extended would take cover either. Fed up.
December 1st, 2015 at 12:50 pm
Purchased a 2014 Jeep Compass Sport. I have noticed two instances where it leaks inside the car under the dash. The first time, it was raining very hard and I was driving on the freeway. When I would turn right, I would hear a sloshing noise and it would drip hot water down on my foot on the gas pedal. When I would turn left, same sloshing noise, but it would drip on the passenger’s side. The second time it happened, it had rained some, but the A/C defrost was also on for a bit. Same issue, turning and dripping hot liquid. It’s in the shop right now. They said they couldn’t find anything and couldn’t recreate the problem. I’m making them keep it until they find something. Still under warranty thankfully.

I bought a 2015 jeep wrangler Oscar mike freedom edition and i had it in the shop right before thanks giving for all three door leaking at the seals, i got it back 2 days ago. This morning after a heavy rain i came out to my jeep and what do you know the passenger door leaked and the floor board is saturated with water. I’m so tired of this and i just bought the jeep.
December 27th, 2015 at 12:10 pm
I have an 02 jeep liberty, with no sunroof. Everytime it rains my front floorboards fill with water.i wish I could attach a picture. My passenger seat is also soaked. I CAN’T HANDLE IT ANYMORE! I will never buy another Chrysler! Also I just noticed while looking for the leak, all of my stuff in my glove box is wet also
December 28th, 2015 at 11:52 pm
I have had my 2008 Jeep Patriot in and out of the shop in the last year. It leaks like mad when it rains in South Texas. The last time I went to the shop they told me don’t bring it back here ever again. We shouldn’t be working on it since you didn’t buy it here. Now Jeep is saying they won’t pay for the repairs or the rental. I have to pay out of pocket and they may reimburse me later.
December 29th, 2015 at 9:08 am
I bought a 2014 Jeep Comass.. only had it for a year.. i took it to the shop since the front & Back floor boards were leaking.. had it back for about a week and noticed it’s drenched all over again. Taking it back to the shop on Monday. I think these need a re-call or some sort. Something isnt connecting right. I’m so disappointed i want to get rid of this car.
December 31st, 2015 at 5:04 pm
I just bought 3 months ago a used 2008 jeep patriot. No warranty. We had a big rain. First really big rain since I bought it. Leaked into tirewell and behind passenger and drivers a eat in the floor. Dealership where I bought it doesnt seem to have a clue and wants to check again at expense.. I dont feel I should be responsible. The areas will.be ruined and stinky from the moisture. .suggestions? ?
January 31st, 2016 at 4:41 pm
2016 Jeep Cherokee with 1,800 miles on it. The rear floor behind the drivers seat is soaked. The water transferred to the front divers side. There must be something going with the floor pan. I noticed it today when I was cleaning the jeep. Waiting on the dealer to respond back.
Thanks,

I have a 2009 Jeep Patriot that I bought from a previous owner in 2011. Since 2011, I have taken my car to a few different Jeep dealerships to address the leaking sunroof, dome lights, and subsequent water damage to the radio (in addition to the sopping wet seats and floors). Each time, the dealership “blows out” the tubes and each time I come back for the same issue, months later. This past summer, I was told that the tubes were no longer able to be “blown out” due to the severe corrosion caused by previous water damage. They quoted $800+ for new tubes…WHAT?! I can’t afford that. Today, I got into my car, drove 200 yards and had to slam on my breaks because water was pouring out of my dome lights again. I covered my dash and console with a towel to temporarily remedy the issue on my way to work. Of course, minutes later, the sunroof began leaking onto my shoulder and back seats….this is becoming a serious distraction and safety issue at this point; not to mention the distractingly foul odor and mold that has now engulfed the car’s interior. I’ve read up on a couple of class action suits against Chrysler…I’d love to get involved. Anyone have any guidance?!
June 3rd, 2016 at 9:19 am
I have a 2012 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited never remove the tops we had terrible rain here in South Texas and my jeep got soaked inside from the freedom tops it’s a hardtop had to get the insurance to cover at least the dried out which they did but I can’t get no one to touch the tops no one wants to do it so today I’ll go pick it up after it’s been dried out and paid a pretty penny and hope we don’t get wet again but if it rains it’s going to come through thank you
June 5th, 2016 at 9:39 am
After reading about all the leaks, I have changed my mind about getting a jeep wrangler. I had my heart set on having one. I have been to a lot of dealer’s and no one has told me that they may or they do leak. So sad to hear this. Thank you to everyone that posted.
June 18th, 2016 at 1:22 pm
I bought a used Jeep at a Jeep dealer. I had to search the premises for a sales person, which seems to be common at all jeep dealers. I bought a Jeep that I was told and given a slip that it was A type. After they submitted paperwork to motorvechicles they pencilled in B type.on the title. Which means the vehicle was worth much less. Then they filed bankrupcy so I couldn’t do anything about this.
August 4th, 2016 at 4:32 pm
We just discovered two leaks in our 2006 Jeep Liberty Renegade, one in the cargo area and the other above the dashboard. We have had this car for 10 years and it only has about 60,000 miles. I hope we will be able to get it fixed somewhere. The jeep runs really well and has been reliable.
October 26th, 2016 at 4:34 pm
I have a 2011 Jeep Wrangler that I bought used from a dealership just over 2 years ago. It was kept in a garage while I lived in NY. Moved to OR to an apartment (no garage) and, with the rain, have discovered puddles in floor areas of both driver and passenger side. The local dealership’s auto services department won’t look into it. I just left a message with their body shop. If the Jeep is past warranty and/or not qualified under the lemon law, would you recommend turning it in early? I don’t want to battling with the leaks living in a state where it rains 9 months out of the year…
October 27th, 2016 at 2:05 pm
@Danielle: You cannot return a car. That’s voluntary repossession and that will kill your credit. If you are outside of warranty, you may want to consider trading it in.
October 31st, 2016 at 4:28 am
My husband and I purchased a 2008 Jeep Liberty and it is back the dealership for the 7th time since we bought it in June of 2016 for the roof leaking. The dealership is telling g us that they can fix it however as of this time they yet to have fix it. They are telling us there is no lemon law in NYS. At my wit’s ends with this.
January 9th, 2017 at 12:41 pm
Why doesn’t Jeep stand behind their vehicles?? Im changing towels every time it rains in my wife’s Jeep. It only leaks in the back tailgate area but regardless!! I want to keep it being an American and the history with the Jeep name. So Jeep take a little criticism and fix your shit, then we all can move on…..
February 7th, 2017 at 5:29 pm
bought a jeep compass in june 2016. the compass is a 2007 and it leaks to from sunroof and dome light . took it back to used car dealer to have fixed but that didn’t work. now the dealer wont answer or return my phone calls. what do I do ?
February 20th, 2017 at 12:48 pm
@Joe: Do you have a warranty? If so, you need to look into filing a claim with the warranty company and finding another place to take the car.
February 24th, 2017 at 12:45 pm
I bought a 2016 jeep compass on October 30, 2016. Once the rain came, all of my floor beds are socked with water. Momentum Jeep Chyster is not being responsive. Need advise. I have went back down to them. I have called several times.

So basically, if the warranty has expired, as it’s a 2009 Jeep Commander, there’s nothing I can do. Every time it rains, the floor boards are soaked. It leaks through the hand rails. It smells moldy and musty. Its horrible. The engine stalls now. Is there anything I can do under the lemon law? I bought this car a year ago, but shouldn’t the manufacturer defect in the way it was designed be covered under the lemon law. Chrysler WILL NOT fix their mistake. Only wanting to charge $100 to clean the drain tubes. I’m tired of this. I work and my kid goes to school. What can I do?
October 9th, 2017 at 9:44 pm
I have a 2008 Jeep Commander. This is our second Commander we have owned. We love this vehicle. Just recently we noticed the drivers side and passengers side carpet on the floor getting soaking wet. Then we realized some water flushing around in the sunroof after it rained and while turning corners water was pouring from the side handles by the dashboard. When turning on the air conditioning now it smells like musty moldy air. Now my car in the 90 degree heat smells awful! It’s embarrassing! A straight mildew smell. I’m concerned about over time how much worse this will get and the fact my family and 3 children ride inside this vehicle. My CD player is not working properly and their seems to be some recent electrical issues happening. I have done a ton of research on this problem and it appears to me to be an issue with the drain tube. Seems like poor engineering and a faulty factory defect.
As much as I love this vehicle and love Jeeps I am so disappointed that their has not been a recall for this after reading so many cases with the same problem. Having had a recall for this and having it fixed would have prevented this.
We cleaned the drain tube out today and have fans blowing inside to try to dry it out. I’m going to clean the carpets and hope the smell goes away. I hope something can eventually be done to please your buyers. My vehicle is not paid off yet and only has 83,000 miles.
Please Help!
Thank You
November 1st, 2017 at 12:43 am
I think that EVERYONE having trouble with the jeeps should return them to place of purchase and DEMAND for the full purchase price returned to them. TO W IT MY CONCERN I BELIEVE YOU DON’T WANT ME TELLING PEOPLE WHAT I THINK ABOUT YOUR WAR. OR YOUR JEEP. WORD OF MOUTH IS your worst enemy
November 8th, 2017 at 6:05 pm
2017 Jeep Cherokee Latitude – bought brand new, only 11 months old. 10/22/17 found carpet soaked passenger side back seat after going through car wash day before. Initially thought a bottle of water spilled. Today, 11/0817, carpet wet passenger side front and back. Really soaked in back. We had a rain storm yesterday. Just took it back to dealer. They said, this was not a problem in their 2017 models. Apparently, it is. Going to fix it. Will find out where leak is coming from. We will see. If this keeps happening, what are my rights? How many chances do they get to make it right? So annoyed. Phila., PA

I have a 2016 Jeep Patriot. I found water in the wheel hub under the back storage area. After a freeze I found ice on the inside and now 1 week later I have a puddle on the back passenger side floor. No visible leaking from and lights on the ceiling. My warranty is over of course. what can I do to resolve this problem , before mold starts growing inside my car. It’s not likely to dry out in Seattle.

i went to buy a used jeep renegade latitude 2016 my husband noticed water condensation on rear tail lights, so dident buy. does any one have this problem?
May 12th, 2018 at 12:03 pm
I bought a Jeep Compass less than 2 years ago used with only 20,000 miles and has the same water leaking problems descried by others and the dealership says that I’m responsible for the charges because once they finally opened the dash they said that there was a small rubber cap lodged in the drain system. But like a few others listed above, I have the same issue with scalding hot water coming leaking from under the dash onto the gas pedal and on the passenger’s side as well. When I turn you hear the water sloshing and almost sounds like a sauna when you pour water onto the heater. I’ve taken it to the shop twice already in the past year and they are charging me thousands of dollars saying it’s my responsibility.
June 16th, 2018 at 9:03 pm
2017 Jeep Cherokee Latitude leaks like crazy. My whole drivers side front and back floors keep getting soaked and are covered in mold. The vehicle WAS brand new now it’s a disaster after only having it a few months. Last time I EVER get ANY kind of Jeep after reading all these posts and comments seeing as they have yet to fix this issue even still as of 2018!
June 30th, 2018 at 11:09 pm

In 2013 I financed a used 2007 jeep liberty. In 2017 I took it off the road because the dealership sold me a lemon and gave me a bunch of run around 30 days after I purchased it. Stuck with the vehicle, that same issue resurfaced in 2017 would not pass inspection because of faulty valves. So I was stuck finishing my payments on a parked lemon. The vehicle has been locked and sealed, no sun roof but the vehicle is wet inside and molded all on the interior and the gear shift from what I can see. What can I do please? I was getting ready to get it fixed because I had it diagnosed before I parked it. The estimate was over $2,000. I paid over $12,000 for it at 60,000 miles. I’m sick about this.

I just bought a 2013 jeep wrangler 7 months ago. And since the day I bought it it has leaked every time it rains. I’m sick of it. Thought about buying a carport but why should i the jeep shouldn’t leak and I’m tired of buying weather strip and sticking it all over my doors. I stop it in one spot it leaks in another sick of the puddles and I don’t want to have to take back my jeep but it’s looking that way
February 7th, 2019 at 12:30 pm
I own a 2014 jeep wrangler and it only has 35000 miles on it and it is leaking water on my front and rear drivers side floor. it has been leaking for 3 months now. I contacted jeep about the issue and they said that they haven’t had complaints about water leaks. Really????
They said they would have done a recall if there were complaints about this issue. They have me by the balls because my car just ran out of the warranty. I really believe they are well aware of the problem but this is a good way for them to stick it to the consumer. Someone needs to do something about this! I have always owned a jeep and now its time to get something else! People need to file as many complaints as they can.
February 28th, 2019 at 7:55 pm

2017 Cherokee trail hawk 37500 miles so imagine that just out of warranty. Went out this morning only to find driver’s side front and rear floor boards soaked. We’ve had it a couple years. Has anyone with this problem had it fixed? If so what was the fix?
March 13th, 2019 at 11:49 am
Purchased my Jeep Cherokee July 2016 from Elk Grove Dodge/Chrysler/Jeep. 2 years later, my car started retaining a large amount of water on the passenger front and back floors. I took my car into the service department where I purchase my Jeep from to get the problem fixed, just to be told that my warranty expired and I would have to pay for the repairs. After doing a little digging, I came across a service bulletin dated April 13, 2016 regarding Jeeps that were built between 2015 and 2016 regarding this very same issue. This bulletin was sent prior to me purchasing my vehicle in July of 2016. The dealership new prior to me purchasing this vehicle that this leaking issue could be a problem down the road, but I was never informed about it. Why is it okay for these companies to get away with screwing the customer. So now, I am stuck with a defective vehicle and no funds to get fixed a problem that I did not create.
March 15th, 2019 at 9:26 am
Have a 2008 Jeep liberty limited yearly water leaks in front headliner area..repeatedly told roof drain tubes needed blowed out, had that done each time for almost Year then same thing,it became a yearly issue. This last fall leak again , blew out tubes, two months later leaked again told sunroof seal had shrunk ,glass and seal one unit and would have to be replaced cost 699.00 Asked to show me exactly where it was leaking was showed one little corner..doubted answer made some calls found out after a while end of roof drainage tubing actually will come off by itself from drain port..took it to my body shop instead of dealer again..body shop dropped whole headliner and found at every drain port tubing had came off..body shop put them back on but also put little hose clamps on them at same time to stop it from reoccurring..after around 6 months, several really heavy rains and several 5″+ snowfalls laying on roof melting off not even a drop of liquid leaking in..before this fix I would have had headliner soaked and stained, water dripping into drivers door widow/door lock controls, water getting in dome light and down on center console, as well as the wiring for electric seats laying in water and any wiring in headliner, possible dash and console getting wet. Fortunately each time it had gotten wet the water was immediately and completely remove and area dried out…keeping fingers crossed hopefully no mold issue..the leakage started around 2014 with only around 45,000 miles on jeep
March 15th, 2019 at 9:59 am
All of you with water in interior when it rains take it somewhere besides dealership have them drop full headliner and check to see if tubing has came loose from drain ports, have them put tubes back on with little hose clamps,, I had same issue with my 2008 Jeep liberty starting around 2013 finally found this out in fall if 2018 by talking to glass replace company when discussing with them about replace sunroof glass and seal which I was told by dealership supposedly due to sunroof glass seal shrinking was where it was leaking..sunroof seal was not problem it was tubing off of drain ports..I took mine to a body shop that I use and trust and they did the problem find and fix..6 months later after several heavy rains and several 5″+ snowfalls laying on roof melting not one drop of liquid inside care..without this fix it would have had water inside each time. Hate to think of money I wasted getting tubing blowed out(clogged tubing was cause dealership gave as cause of leaking each time until the last leakage) and water removal and dry out. Could have used it to pay for the now rusting and falling apart of the gas tank skid plate and straps that is a safety issue if it is in crash, object hitting it or gas tank drops off as it also holds gas tank in place..hope this helps with leakage and take a good look at your skid plates for rusting just found mine accidentally a couple months ago..it has never been off road and has had excellent care from top to bottom since I bought it new in 2008

I have a 2014 Jeep Compass. Got the last few years, I cannot open the solid slider that covers the sun roof. The mold smell is unbearable. It goes away during winter and comes back during the warmer months. Of course my daughter and I are allergic to mold. One more year in this piece of crap….

Just bought a 2012 Liberty from a dealership in Ohio. Has been 32 days since I’ve bought it. Had to have it towed to my house the same night I bought it. Has 52,xxx miles.
Did I already talk to someone here? I feel like I did. Can you look up my info?
