It's in the shop today. They took it apart and decided to go ahead with TSIB fix, since the drain seems to be somewhat clogged. Hopefully it's done today.

does your VIN number fall in the range in the TSIB (posted last page)

I didn't bother to check, obviously the dealer did this morning (while I waited for 1.5 hours) and is moving ahead with the fix. Mine is a 07 model year.

Mine is 07 also, but I checked it was bigger so I might have the revised part already.

If you don't mine checking it..
is your VIN bigger or smaller than one of these. You either have 750**, or 720**

Will do, I'm hoping to see water on my garage floor from the AC someday. (I've never had wet carpets, not yet).

I'm glad they went ahead and approved the fix, since revised/improved parts are used.

Took my car to the dealership this morning for the same issue. No condensation under the car and the whole floor is wet. I actually found mildew under the driver seat. Disgusting stuff!!

Sorry to hear that, I assume your car is under warranty which is good thing.

Any updates on your fix from dealer?


Those that have the wet carpet is it on the passenger side?

Yes, the final verdict was the drain was partially clogged. So they kept the car that day and did the TSIB fix per attached.

So far, so good, but I will keep checking. I never had the wet floors/mats. I did report no drips on garage floor and severe window fogging when I turned AC compressor off while driving. Those 2 symptoms were enough for them to justify checking and fixing AC drain per latest TSIB.

I mean any drips now that you have it fixed? with the bay area weather, because I don't see any drips driving here but may the weather is just a bit dry.

Haven't noticed any yet, but I haven't driven the car much since fix and haven't been checking under car lately.

Over the next couple of weeks I will check under car more often and check for window fogging when I turn off AC compressor.

I actually expect that the fix was done properly (per TSIB). I was getting feedback from a good SA that morning while the car was on the lift and the diagnosis by tech was made.

Which dealer did you go to and do you recommend it?
I wonder if there is anything that they can fix/improve even if my VIN does not fall under that TSIB range.
