| No crash involved...noticed after a rainstorm here on the coast, that there was the sound of water rolling back and forth in the dash area when i was driving..not only that, but there was a significant(huge flood) of water coming into the passenger compartment from the dash area immediately in front of the passenger seat...enough water that my carpeting was completely soaked, and ruined. after this happened many times..i finally figured out what it was..there is some sort of drain hose to a water collection reservoir under the windshield...which can be disconnected to drain, but in the event of debris washing into it...would clog up and overflow..resulting in the described condition..this is very poor design in my opinion..some of folks i have had this to..did not have a clue what was going on...i have not said anything to chrysler about this...but think it is not just me who has the issue..and it also could be a contributor to some of the other issues i have read about..particularly the condensation issue and the airbag issue..i am concerned that the electronics will fail...please advise...i am picking a random date when it first happened...also..has occurred many times since unless i clean the drain hoses...never had this happen on any other vehicle...? *tr | |||
