My 2008 patriot (24,000 mi) just started having water in the floorboards. We have husky liners so it is all being caught by them. I assume this is AC condensation. You can hear it sloshing around in the dash board. When you turn left it hits the heater core and you can hear it boil. When you turn right, boiling hot water pours down on your right foot(I made the mistake of wearing crocs today and the hot water burned me). Anyone else have this happen yet? And if so, is it a warranty deal? I haven't had it in yet, wife only told me about the problem yesterday.

This post just helped me out. Whenever i would make a left turn i could hear water hitting the fan blades and when i would brake i would hear water sloshing around behind the dash. And the padding under the blower was wet and there was water on my rubber floormat as well. So i pulled the drain hose from behinf the gas pedal and took some small steel wire and pushed it in there and it started dripping and when i pulled it out 6 cups of nasty murky water gushed out and now everything is back to normal

These pics were exactly what I needed. A little tug and an air hose got it all cleaned out on me 2011 Patriot. Thanks!Finally fixed the water sloshing/hot water on the feet. It's just as described above. The drain tube had so much crud in there, I cant imagine how it got in. Here are some pics.
It's the L shaped tube next to the gas pedal.

Debris doesn't like to round the bends.

This is where it drains out.

All the crud! I took it inside, blew it out into the sink and rinsed it out.

Just to give reference on what size stuff can block up that drain tube, I pulled mine off to see what was causing water to pour into the car and found a .22 casing that must have been from our last visit to the range. Lol
