| Description of the problem | My 2008 jeep wrangler unlimited x 4dr, has major water leaking issues. I got this jeep used with 17,560miles on it. It runs great. However every time it rains, it leaks. My driver side seatbelt gets so wet that you can wring it out. The floor underneath the backseat gets soaked. I had to use a shampooer in the jeep because i couldn't soak up all the water from the carpet, and it smelled like mildew. I pulled up the carpet to be sure that the plugs are in correctly, which they are, and noticed what looked like rust. The area where my seatbelt adjusts, and around the bolts for the seats is rusting. My jeep only has 49,226 miles on it. My biggest complaint is that you have hundreds if not thousands of people complaining about the unlimited x 4dr leaking water. Why hasn't anything been done with this issue? I don't need my floor boards or seatbelt rusting out, in my opinion something needs done before something serious happens. |
