Hello all,
I went out to my Jeep and the entire inside was covered in frost. There was a 1/4 layer on the dash, the radio, everything. I looked in the glove box after haing the heat blasting for 2 hours and there was still frost all over my Walther P22.
It was 14 F. out the night before. I was not born yesterday, nor did I just buy my first truck last week, and won't buy "it's a jeep thing"
I have exposed many vehicles to temps way way colder than 14 F and never had had this happen. Ok, It happened once in the Rover but I left all the windows down. The jeep had all windows up, doors shut, not much snow on the floor mats.
Has anyone had this happen? I am thinking if this is a regular thing the jeep wont last 5 years before things start to fail in the dash.

0% humidity but it was 80% that day
It may be the weird weather we have had. It is very dry here, like light a match and it will all burn dry. The day it happened we had 80% humidity.
There has been little hints of frost since, but not as bad as the first time.
Everyone told me overs were crap when I bought mine and to get a Toyota or Jeep. I really do not see this Jeep lasting 260K like my Rover.

I'm pretty sure that if you leave the window open a crack it will actually make it worse. Mine frosted up inside when I forgot to do the window up one night. As for moisture, I'll bet the carpets are the culprit. Pulled mine out long ago. It's almost impossible to keep water and snow from getting on the carpets.

There is another thread on here that is about the wet carpets. Apparently it is a warrantied fix. Something about water running in somewhere and collecting under the carpets. You might want to look at the recent threads. Good luck. EDIT check the link below:
