My AC unit blew out and stopped working this summer, now that it is rainy season there is a puddle of water on the floor of my front passenger seat. Other people have had this issue call ref number: 03v087000. Complaint number: 10184014. I am not sure what they have done but it rains in washington state and my car is going to stink. The AC unit just up and stopped working, and the puddle of water only shows up when it is raining. I am unclear if this puddle gets bigger why driving but I would assume that as long as there is rain falling on the vehicle, that it is getting into the car.
