Interior Water Leak
 
Love my xD, havent had a prob with it until recently. I found water leaking into the interior under the dashboard. Im assuming it is from the Air Conditioner, and maybe a clogged AC not letting water exit the car. Wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction to unclog this. I dont want to bring my car in to be serviced, and also definitely dont want any major electrical problems. Any feedback would be awesome. Thanks.

1st question would be do you live in an area that is experiencing high heat and/or humidty??

Is your car still under warranty? If it is Scion/Toyota should solve the problem for free. Until then, in case it is the A/C, don't run it. I know that's stating the obvious, but thought I'd mention it. If no warranty, at least try calling the dealership and ask questions. maybe you can stumble upon the problem. Keep checking here as someone with the answer might post up.

I believe that the A/C becomes coated in condensation during hot/humid conditions when the dew points are in the extreme. I may be wrong but I would like to know what part of the country Trammis lives in.

SciFion 06-29-2009 10:28 PM

Yeah, seems like I've seen some cars that were dripping condensation when stopped at lights or parked after running A/C on super hot days. Maybe the drip tube or whatever it is called is blocked with debris or pinched.

When we lived in the High Desert we had 2 cars that would do that in the summer. Condensation actually builds up in the vents/openings and eventualy drips down the floor board and the carpet gets wet. All due to heat and humidity levels.

I live in NYC. Although very hot, and especially humid over here during the summer, my xd's problem goes beyond that. Even was so bad the other day that when i made hard left, or right turns, i could hear the water moving inside of my car beyond the dashboard. I havent turned the AC on since, and the leaks have stopped. Wondering if anyone knew where the actual AC run off is under the car so i could maybe blow some conpressed air up there to loosen it up.

Don't know, but try tracing the A/C supply line through the firewall and see where it goes. How about the warranty?

I'd call Scion Customer Service and see what they can do for you. You'd be suprised at how far they will go for the owners to make us happy!

Trammis 06-30-2009 12:49 PM

Yeah, guess thats the best solution. Gonna call up Scion. Thanks for the posts.

Any time you feel a dealer tries to pull something or you need help with your ride, just call Scion Corp.
They get to the bottom of things VERY quicky!
