Description of the problem | During a recent long rain event in the northeast i entered my car to find a 1/2 of sitting water on the passenger side front floor area. The water was trickling from the top portion of the floor mat where it meets the dash. Upon removing the glove box and pulling out the cabin filter, i noticed the water coming down through the ac system. Dealer looked at the door jams and the hood, and found nothing. No resolution at this time. Similar complaint filed on service bulletins. Car was parked on a 10 degree angle nose end down. Water leak through and near electrical components and near passenger side airbag. Loss of airbag integrity with unknown damage if any. Mold and mildew damage is a potential heath issue as well. *jb |
