Ok, not quite flooded, but the entire carpet (front and bacK) of our 2 month old, 2009 Civic is completely wet.
We don't have a garage, so it's parked outdoors year long. Since we bought it in the winter, we didn't really notice it until the trunk/fuel cap latch under the driver's seat stopped working because it was frozen. This happened after a lot of heavy snow, unseasonally mild days, and refreezing. At first, we thought it was from snow tramped in by the driver, which melted and froze. Fastforward to this past week with lots of rain and over a week of mild weather.
On Friday, we removed the rubber mats to discover that the front carpets were wet. It rained all day yesterday, and this morning, the water has reached the back.
So, obviously there is a leak. My question is if anyone's had experience with something like this, and if so, what did you do?
How fixable is it? We don't want to take it back, have them say it's fixed, then have to do it again next winter/rain storm.
We'll be taking it back to the dealer on Monday, but it's a family car, and the other people driving it have lost confidence in it. One has suggested trading it in to get a brand new car, writing off a couple grand if necessary (I went WTF too). It's two months old, has around 550km on it, and in pristine shape.
Thanks.
