: the contact stated that upon entering the vehicle, there were noticeable water puddles on the floor of both the driver and passenger sides. There was also a noticeably foul smell coming from the interior carpets. The manufacturer was notified, who referred the contact to a service dealer. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was determined that the air conditioner drain elbow was missing. There were no repairs made. Updated 10/25/06.

Purchaused used (6 months old) have now owned auto for 2 years. At 38000 miles transmission starting shifting harsh at times, had to replace transmission. Engine has started acting as if it is going to stall for no apparent reason. Radio has been replaced 3-4 time, due to garbbled display. Most recently however, I had door locks repaired, and was told that the wires to the locks were damaged due to the water intrusion caused by the air conditioning leak into the auto instead of outside the auto.
