Consumer Description

THE CONDENSATION FROM THE AC DOES NOT DRAIN OUT OF THE VEHICLE PROPERLY. IT IS A "KNOWN" DESIGN FLAW THAT DOES NOT PROVIDE A DRAIN 'TUBE" BUT THE WATER IS SUPPOSED TO DRAIN OUT A HOLE AND OUT THROUGH THE FRAME BEHIND THE DASHBOARD. THE HOLE CAN BECOME PLUGGED. THE WATER RUNS INTO THE VEHICLE UNDER THE CARPET AN UNDER THE FLOOR ON THE DRIVER SIDE. THE CARPET CAN HAVE STANDING WATER MAKING THE FOOT WET AND SLIPPERY ON THE PEDAL. ALSO THE WATER HAS NOWHERE TO GO. THE WATER WILL THEN EVAPORATE AND RECONDENSE ON THE WINDSHIELD, OBSTRUCTING VIEWS. I CAN NEVER COMPLETELY DRY OUT THE WATER AND I AM WORRIED THAT MOLD IS GROWING IN THE CAR. ALSO THE WATERLOGGED FLOOR STINKS HORRIBLY. I HAVE A YOUNG CHILD WHO COMPLAINS EVERYDAY ABOUT THE SMELL, BUT I WORRY MORE ABOUT THE MOLD AND THE OTHER SAFETY ISSUES I DESCRIBED ABOVE. *TR
