Anyone else have issues with AC leaking water on passenger floor? Just picked up Factory Order today and on way home heard whining noise and water swooshing sound going around turns.. get home and passenger floor all wet with water dripping from motor behind glove box.

Most vehicles have a drain hose or port that drips out under the car. That maybe blocked. If you can find it and have access to air compressor blow some air in that drip line. I have never done this on a Jeep but have on a couple other cars and it has cleared the problem.of dripping and creates better cooling. Of course if brand new take it back to dealer and have them address it.

Thanks, I am at the dealer already this morning and hoping they can get it looked at.. I already mentioned drain line to them, wish I knew where it was though.

Definitely find that hose. Had the same problem from my wifes Fiat 500 and the tosser at the factory didn't connect the hose at the floor drain. It was just pouring on the passenger floor.

Did you have any rust proofing on your new Jeep? The condensate hose can literally get stuck closed with undecoating....
Several possibilities.. this is just one issue I've seen over the years...

On a brand-new car, definitely need the dealer to address. But my old Cherokee, it was the drain hose. Blow some compressed air into it and the leak stopped.

I brought it back to the dealer the next day.. during manufacturing they forgot to remove a rubber plug in the drain line.. water got into PCM as well so they dried everything out. Ended up putting an extra 130 miles on brand new car going back to the dealer but at least it is fixed

To be clear, water did not get into the PCM. Not even close.
