Clogged drains can allow rainwater to accumulate in the plenum tray (at the base of the windshield). The water may leak into the vehicle's interior, brake booster, or electrical components, which can lead to major problems. Our technicians recommend keeping the tray clear of leaves, pine needles, and other debris.

water leaked into the passenger part of the front seat. this was due to the gaskets around the smog filter behind the glove box. I complained to the factory and they fixed it under warranty even though the warranty had expired. There is a trnasmission control module under the passenger seat. The water seeped into it causing the car to lock into second gear. estimated cost of repair was 1000 dollars. The factory fixed it
it for which I was thankful.Flag ThisLike0 -
