I have a 2001 LXi sedan. I have had 7 water leaks. Chrysler and the Dealer are unresponsive. Never touch another Chrysler again. Keep looking. I am. It's tough but your not alone. Good Luck. http://www.autoweek.com/cat_content.mv?port_code=autoweek&cat- _code=carnews&loc_code=index&content_code=05361076 |

Thanks, David. The dealer washed the car before they gave to me. But I found they forgot to dry the floor. The floor before rear seats just like a pond. I already used vacuum to drain the water. But lots of water already penetrated under the floor. I'm afraid this will cause problem. Any circuits under the floor? Thanks. I'm so worried. |

I just recently bought my 98 JX Convertible. I live in western NC and due to Hurricane Frances, there has been several inches of rain dumped in a very short period of time. When I got up this morning, there was water standing in the drivers side floor boards (front and back) and the passenger side back floor board. Also, when I drive there is a "swish" noise from water, but I can't figure out where it is. Any clue why it's leaking and where from. It has rained since I bought, but never this hard. Has anyone else had this problem fixed? Is it expensive? Thanks for any help or advice.

Replying to: gande96 (Oct 17, 2004 3:11 pm) info. I, myself, just recently had this problem and when I went to the dealership, they wanted to charge me at least $170 to replace some "seals". I don't think that was necessary and I didn't want to waste $170 so I searched this site and saw responses from others like jam407, markdisalvo, and grnchrysler200. As the others said, you have to "unplug" the dirt that gets stuck and keeps water from draining. The trick is not only to find the plugged spots, but to know what they look like. They are not actual plugs that you remove. Once I finally found them last night and used a paper clip to clean them as jam407 said, water came out like a fountain. The plugged holes are located along the length of the bottom of the car. When I got a mirror and looked at them, the plugged spots reminded me of how the pen holder in your center console looks. It is a number of hill-like spots. You insert a paper clip inside (even though it may not look like there is a hole) and if you have any water in there, it will come out. Another way that I identified the spots was that they look like mini flared spots where I thought I had just hit the bottom of the car and caused the two metal plates to slightly separate and bend.
