Description of the problem	Bottom line: battery was sitting in a pool of water 4 inches away from the neg/pos battery terminal. Potential electrical fire ? A newly acquired 2014 jeep laredo with less than 1000 driven miles from the date of delivery. We were hearing a water sloshing sound that was profound upon starting from a dead stop and then coming to a stop sign. Once the vehicle was stopped fluid was heard sloshing around similar to a cooler of ice water. After doing an internet search there were similar problems found with this vehicle in the past. Since this was a brand new vehicle, i took it to the dealer as i wanted to know if this was safe to drive. The service dealer of course said he never heard of this and that i would have to make an appointment. "i will not leave until someone either drives this car or looks at it and say it is safe". The counter guy was annoyed at my request and he went and got his chief service manager. To my surprise the service manager said to me as he was walking from across the service bay that he knew exactly what the problem was. We walked to the vehicle and he opened the passenger door and moved the passenger seat all the way forward. Then he opened the rear passenger side door, took out the floor mats and opened the battery compartment that is located "inside" the vehicle under the passenger seat. There was water pooled around the battery and 4 inches from reaching the + and - terminals. The service manager went under the vehicle and removed the plastic plug the size of a quarter. Water gushed out of the drain plug for at least 5 min then it turned into a trickle. The service manager schedule the vehicle to be fixed by a company that deals with water leaks. My complaint is that this posed an potential disaster from an electrical short caused by water pooling. Now is there going to be a mold problem in the future?
