Bought 17 Jeep Cherokee used w/ 50k+ miles. After a few months noticed a mildew smell. Found floor under front passenger seat was soaked. Long story short, I placed towels under the carpet and had to change them daily as they were soaked with water. Took to dealer and asked about recalls or bulletins...apparently the service advisor had all recalls and bulletins committed to memory, he said none for this model without even looking anything up. But for $150, they would diagnose and tell me how much additional a fix would cost. I passed. Tried a few things that did not work. Did some research and found a Jeep service bulletin for this problem (23-15-16a). Called the ‘Jeep Cares’ hotline to inquire...they are USELESS, sent an email to Jeep cares...no response. More research on the service bulletin and I found the recommended repair procedure. Apparently the factory applied sealer on the firewall is prone to leaving gaps between the sealer and firewall that leads to water intrusion. I removed the front fender liner and found 1-2mm gap between sealer and metal. I sealed the gaps with silicon caulk. Been a few days and floor seems to stay dry. Here is a link to the repair

Hope it helps. FYI...â€Jeep Cares†is useless
