I have the above titled and I have noticed whenever I run the air cold esp. around summer the floors for the co driver and sit behind it also get wet, I thought it was rain one time because I leave windows somewhat open, then it was ok for some months and now its back. tends to happen in summer when I have the cold air turned on nearly generally.cant live without the cold air.any advice.

The rubber vent hose behind the AC evaporator unit has come loose or is clogged. Simple fix, hard to see or get to. it's at the bottom rear of the unit that's under the right side of the dash. Use a good light and do a little probing. it's supposed to drain outside the car. Find the drain hole and put it back where it belongs.

Sounds like condensation from the A/C.

When AC is on water condenses. there's a drain hose going from AC evaporator to outside of car through firewall If hose is off, water drains into car. Lay on back on floor of passenger side. Should see hose going through firewall. on occasion hose gets plugged. May have to clean out.

You most likely got a leaf or something plugging up your drain.

I WAS A SERVICE MANAGER FOR TOYOTA for many years. it's typically THE AC DRAIN LINE CLOGGED UP. on occasion IF A PERSON SITTING IN THE PASS SIDE HITS THE LINE AND KINKS IT, it'll LEAK LIKE THAT TOO. BUT nine OUT OF ten it's THE AC LINE. YOU have to GET SOMEONE TO BLOW THAT LINE OUT. ALSO TO GET RID OF THE WET FLOOR SITUATION. TAKE YOUR CAR AND PUT IT DIRECTLY IN THE SUN, CRACK THE FRONT WINDOWS A LITTLE AND LEAVE IT FOR THE DAY. THE WATER WILL EVAPORATE ON own. IF NOT you'll HAVE THE MILDEW SMELL. MAKE SUE ITS REALLY HOT OUTSIDE.
