Malibu 6-cyl

  • 60,000 miles
Condensed water from my cars air condition is draining inside the vehicle and accumulates behind the right passengers seat on the floorboard. I have notice it when the water was about 1 inches high. After cleaning the drain pipe, which is very hard to get to and $150 later, the problem is solved for a day. I feel that the system is not engineered correctly and is allowing mold, mildew, and algae to grow in my car. Driver and passenger are breathing contaminated air in a closed in environment.
