    In mine it was a stopped up plug in the engine compartment. It was filled with debris and clogging the drain hole up. Allowed water to stay in the vehicles body and come inside where the cabin filter is located. It requires removing the front tires and splash guards. On the front of the firewall near the tranny hump is a rubber gasket with small hole in it. Pull the plug out and allow the water to drain and replace the plug. Don't park anywhere around trees thereafter.
