HELP! Car issues....

Razz · 07-17-2007, 08:33 PM

Ok...This is strange. At least it is to me.

My car is an 03 Neon. (I know, that was my first mistake) and it was never in a car accident.

So this summer every once in a while the carpet in the back seat would be wet. I figured Aida didn't tighten a water bottle lid or something and it leaked. After about the third time I said no water in the car. Well, yesterday I get in the car and there is nearly an inch of water standing on the back passenger floorboard! But nobody had water in the car. Nobody went through a water puddle that big and the windows weren't down. Today it looked like the water seeped out some. But when I got in the car this afternoon, the back DRIVER side had a bunch of water standing in it!! It didn't even rain!!

WHAT THE HELL?!

Possibly your air conditioning drip line.

Check the seal around your door. It may be leaking.

Sounds like the rear glass. Open your trunk and take a look in there. Meanwhile, go to the car wash and vac that water out. It's goona rot the carpet.

03 Neon? Warranty?

if it's not a problem with the weatherstripping (does it happen when it's NOT raining at all?) then it might be that somehow the A/C line, like Wayne said, is the problem. Usually that collects in the front, but I don't see how else water could be getting in there if it's not from rain leaking in.

Our Jeep Cherokee was doing that for a while; a cap had worked its way off the drain and the water was spilling onto the floorboard.

You may need to have a drain unblocked, but I sure wouldn't know where to look for it on that model.

No warrenty.

I'm not sure if it did it even if it wasn't raining, like I said I just thought Aida had spilled some water or something. But I will check those ideas. Thanks, ya'll.
