Why driers side front & back floor floods with water only when driving & raining. It doesn't do it if just raining.
Why getting gallons of water on drivers side front & rear floor & under back seat. Stayed wet under gas pedal, even after I got it mostly dried, it became wet again 1/2 hr. after & I hadn't driven anywhere. Thought it could be from windshield or door not sealed good, but all sides of carpet were always dry. After dried 2nd time, I moved car few feet & parked front end on slight incline. Hours later only back floor under seat in corner filled with inches of water & it wasn't raining? Maybe backup water still draining both times? After dried up again, it rained for 2 weeks & nothing got wet! If cow, wouldn't it gotten wet when rained then? It seemed to happen only if I'm driving when raining. Checked under car for holes/open plugs. All fine. Other day, I drove 12 miles & it wasn't raining. It was real cold. Only thing in common each time is I used the heater/defroster control, but this time only cold air or no air was coming out. The other heat controls blew hot. If from heater/ defroster, Where is water coming from that only goes on driver's side front & back seat?

Check the cabin air intake. Chances are the weather strip that lines part of the opening has come off. The intake should be accessible beneath the trim at the base of the windshield on the passenger side.
so if i were you i would be checking drain plug or drain opening in front of wind shield. probably it is under plastic grill next to wipers. it transfers the collected rain water infront of windshield and direct it to ground. if it is clogged flooded water can drain into cabin.
I had the same problem with a 1994 Taurus. Within the front fender was 10 years of pine needles and leaves blocking the drain backing the water up in and over the fire wall and into the front passenger seat floor. I took a LONG pair of needle nose pliers threw the passenger side door, and was able to remove enough debree. After pulling out out about 5 fist full's of yuck, 1 gallon a water that was stuck some where poured out flushing out the drain. I did the same on the drivers side. After that I had no problems with floods. I hope this helps. If not check your back door weather stripping if you have one. I have heard water leaking behind the passengers seatbelt and onto the floor from under the seat. Got to love Florida's rain season(s)
Firstly is it rain water or coolant? dab it with a kleenex and see if it is coloured if it is then the heater core is leaking, if not then you have to hunt for the leak, water will travel from the front to back so see if water is coming from the bottom of the door trim and flooding over the rubber seal, otherwise look carefully around the screen, then you have to search under the dash, it is a detective job. has anything happened recently to the Jeep?
Water goes between the front and rear window and is supposed to go through a trough and drain out of the bottom of the car. often the drains along the bottom (4 very small slits) get clogged and water will back up into the floorboards. just drive a flat head screwdriver in these slits and it will let the water out! (watch out about 2 gallons came out of mine!)
when whe got our 1999 chevy caviler ours done that to around the windows on the left side. we ended up hafing to replace the seals around the left side windows the wondsheild and back windo.
