Some Jeep Patriot owners report experiencing water accumulation issues on the floor, particularly in models from 2008 to 2016. These owners have noted that water leaks often occur through the sunroof or dome light, resulting in puddles on the cabin floor that can damage the interior, radio, and electrical systems. Additionally, some owners have identified door window seal problems as a potential cause of water on the passenger floorboards, especially if the water is localized and not affecting the interior firewall carpet. Blocked drain tubes are another common issue, where water collects in the cowl and overflows into the air intake, leading to wet floors in the passenger compartment. Furthermore, if owners suspect a heater core leak, they may notice water on the floor or mist inside the vehicle when using the heat or AC, prompting a need for inspection. It is crucial for owners to address these issues promptly to prevent further damage and maintain a comfortable driving experience.
