Bmw - 525 :: Water Leaking Into Car During Heavy Rain

I have a 2003 BMW 525i. A couple of years ago, after a heavy rainstorm, I found water in the footwell of the backseat behind the driver’s seat. I took my car to a mechanic and he mentioned the door’s vapor barrier and the vapor barrier was resealed. Again a heavy rain storm, back to the mechanic and the vapor barrier was resealed. This has happened three times and I feel that there is a problem somewhere that has been overlooked by my mechanic. Normally, my car is garaged, but when out of town, my poor car is at the mercy of the weather.

Passat (B5) :: Water Is Leaking Into Car Through Both Rear Doors In Hard Rain

A few months ago I purchased a 2002 4Motion wagon with 62,000 miles on it. I've discovered that in a hard rain that water is leaking into the car through both rear doors.

It seems that the water is coming in right where the rubber L-shaped bracket is located at the bottom of the door. I've removed those L-shaped rubber brackets and the problem still exists. It seems that the drain plugs on the door are not clogged.

I'm concerned that it has been going on for while prior to me owning the car and that a floor that has been frequently wet is going to be a problem long term - rust issue.

Tiguan :: Water In Floor In Front / Rear Passenger Side - Sunroof Leaking?

I found water in the floor in the front and rear passenger side of the car. I cleaned it up thinking the sunroof may not have been closed all the way at the dealership when they washed it. I drove it today in the rain and the front passenger side is wet again next to the console and near the seat. Where are the drains located at?

Lexus ES 2007-12 :: Water On Carpet Of Driver Side All The Way To Backseat After Heavy Rain

In my 07 ES350 I had water on the carpet of the drives side all the way to the backseat! I was gone for a coupla days when this happened and with the heat it sure did have a musky odor when I opened the door!

I have looked all around the sunroof and cleaned the edges could not see anything that would leak although under the sunroof at the front there was water in the tray.

Then I looked all around the windshield. Could not see anything that could cause a leak. Lightly hosed off the car today and had water dripping down the driver side pillar and the covering for the pillar was wet.

This car has never had a leak anywhere until now. Gonna have to have the carpet removed and steam cleaned I guess to get rid of the odor, but not until I stop the leak!!!!

Lexus RX 2004-09 :: 2008 - A Pillar On Driver Side Leaking During Heavy Rain

The A pillar on the driver side started leaking during a heavy rain. The water leak started where there is a seam on the A pillar. My RX stays outside and I would not surprised if a vent tube or hole has clogged up and thus made the water back up instead of draining but that is just a guess.

Sonata NF (2006-10) :: 2009 - ESC Malfunction In Heavy Rain

I have now twice had the ESC malfunction in my '09 Sonata (manual Transmission). The last two times I was on the freeway and we had a deluge coming down, the ESC light (dash) kept flashing on and off and it felt as though the ESC was engaging and disengaging rapidly. IN addition, the car started losing power where my speed dropped from 60-65 mph down to 45-50 mph even with my foot buried. As soon as the road dried up a little, it went back to normal. My mechanic checked it out but could not find anything in the codes or anything else wrong.

Tiguan :: 2016 - Rubbing Noise When Drive Through Puddles Of Standing Water During Rain

I have a 2016 4 Motion 2.0T auto transmission with less than 9000 miles on it. During heavy rains or when I drive through "deep" puddles of standing water the car will start to make a rubbing noise. It seem to be from the front passenger side. It will fade away as I coast or slow down but on acceleration it because louder.

I've checked twice now to see if there was anything stuck in the wheel well or axel area. I've made sure the wheels are aired correctly, balanced and the lugs are TQ'd to spec. I can not come up with any info as to why it only happens in the rain.

There is no power drop and I can't feel any type of resistance while driving, the noise being made would be best described like a mud flap of small branch is stuck in the wheel well. At times on the high way it sounds like I'm riding on a rumble strip.

The only difference in the car since I bought it, is the engine now sounds deeper and I can hear a more defined idle, I chalked that up to it breaking in and haven't thought anything of it. The car is also completely stock.

Toyota - Scion :: 2009 XD - Rubbing Noise After Heavy Rain And Flooding

Not a car person! I have a 2009 Scion XD and we have recently had a lot of heavy rain, including flooding. My carpet got wet and I'm probably going to have to get that detailed if insurance will cover it, but I also noticed that I have a rubbing noise when I make sharp left turns - the sound seems to be coming from front right tire - and noticed it immediately after the heavy rain. Could they possibly be related? I recently had tires rotated, two worn out ones replaced, and belts changed. So, I do not want to take it in again because money is tight right now.

Accord :: Water Getting Into Car In Rain Around The Driver And Back Seat Door

Water is getting into my car (1995 Accord LX) somewhere around the driver and back seat door. This causes the carpet on the driver's floor and back seat on the driver side to be wet. It only happens when it rains, so I think its a broken seal, or water is not draining properly.

I've tried spraying water on the car to see if I can figure out where its getting in, but no luck.
