2001: “I recently got my car and love it except for the fact that water is building up on the driver side floor board in the front. I do not know if its the drain holes or the condensation hose. Either way I am attempting to fix these myself, but there seems to be a large amount of Chrysler owners on several models having the same problem. We need to get this resolved for all the thousands of Chrysler owners having this same issue.”
