#1 of 3 2006 water in dashboard by fiveinerie Dec 10, 2008 (3:51 pm)
Our 2006 Commander has been in the shop several times for water that collects in the dashboard. The water overflows into the interior and soaks the floor. It creates moisture and when driving you can feel a cold draft. It has been repaired three times and we are going to the shop again in the morning. Has anyone else had this problem?

Replying to: fiveinerie (Dec 10, 2008 3:51 pm) Yes, my Jeep had about 4 inches of water in the floor board. I took to dealer and they had to re-route the drainage system around the Sun Roof to stop the water coming in. They said they had several Jeeps in for the same thing just that week. It was a factory issue but because all the tubes were not installed the same on all jeeps, no recall and I had to pay to repair. They said "one of those thing", that maybe cars built on a certain day has that issue. Poor service is what I call it. I mean it it was a factory flaw than it should be recall. I am sure there are many Jeeps having the same problem. One Jeep there, they had to pull out all the carpet and replace it, I am sure this factory flaw is costing Jeep owners lots of money.

I have taken my Jeep in for the windshield whistling and for the water on the floor board on the driver side. They have attempted twice to repair the water problem with no luck. I myself took apart the side panel over the hood release lever to find a blue tube running from the drainage system up top down through the floor board. I found that the tube was too short which explains why the water was not draining properly because it wasn't shoved into the floor outlet far enough. I have to go find a tube or hose that will extended it so that it will drain properly. Of course the car is out of warranty but I don't think it would have mattered.
