Default Under Passenger Seat Wet?

This am my car smelt weird and underneath my passenger seat was soaking wet. I know nothing was spilled. Im assuming it may have something to do with the heating/cooling feature. But i never use that side. Anyone ever have this problem or had it happen. This is the first time. Thanks

i dont think it would be the cooling system for the seats. I was under the impression that the cooling system is just fans that push air up through the seat.

The car doesn't have air conditioned seats, just vented ones. (i.e., a fan blows air through the perforations)

My guess would be that the condensate drain for your air conditioner is clogged. In this case, the water would be coming from A/C evaporator (located behind the glovebox), but could be running down under the seat.

Are your fender well liners fully intact? If so, it's probably the A/C issue. I even think the previous owner of my 350 had this issue. All fixed though under the factory warranty.

If the dealership won't do it for free, call Lexus corporate and explain that your tired of these kinda issues coming up with a Lexus. If you've done all the scheduled maintenance bring it up...tell em you do all the maintenance yet the car is having other issues. Corporate will usually help you out
