| Description of the problem | When it rains the floorboards fill with water (literal puddle) front and back, mainly on the drivers side. I purchased this vehicle new and have been the only owner, i did not notice the issue until after the mileage warranty had slightly expired. I contacted the dealer once i noticed the issue and they of course wanted $$$ to even look into the issue. In researching for a resolution on the internet this appears to be a very common issue with these vehicles. The main concern is health safety and possible electrical issues that can result from so much interior wetting. I had contacted the dealer again (bill byrd kia panama city fl) to ask if there was any new information concerning this issue and spoke with and allan and a chris at the site and was hung up on by both individuals. |
