Got a similar response from Fremont Toyota at the Auto Mall. The service guy was arrogant and not helpful at all. The car was 1-month and 2000 miles out of warrantee. I will never go to those guys again I've owned 7 toyotas and this may be my last one. There are lots of reliable options out there -- why would I want to take a chance on them again?
I hope there is some recall issued for this. The car is going to my son and I don't want him to have to deal with this. |

I have a 2008 Sedan and fortunately, I have not had this problem crop up yet but I am wondering (feel free to correct me I am wrong) if this would not work.........using a wet/dry shop vac - insert the hose that is located in the passenger seat floor area into the hose of the shop vac and turn it on - would it not be able to suction out the blockage and the water?

me today
Today my 2010 with only 16,000 miles and still in warranty started making a sloshing noise. When I got home the passenger floor matt was soaked. I took it out & put a towel in to catch drips. I have an appointment with the dealer tomorrow & they already said it wouldn't be covered if it was just debris blocking it.
I just found the black tube & squeezed it from the top to the bottom. Water is draining out from the bottom of the car now. Do I need to remove it & try to clean it out more & the area above where it is attached? Should I still go for the appointment? I do need to go in for the oil change. CTScott I have had the cabin air filter for 2 years & here we are. |

What came out of the hose that was keeping the water from draining?

CTScott, I don't know.
I did not detach either end of the hose. I just started squeezing it at the top & worked my way down, numerous times. Almost like milking it maybe. I did not feel any obstruction. Perhaps the pressure just forced something out. The water drained under the car & I didn't see any obvious debris in the brief look I made. It could have been a pint or 2. I wonder if I should remove the tube to see if it needs further cleaning? And then try to check if there is debris above the upper hose attachment?

CTScott
So you think I have to detach the hose? If so, does it just pull out, twist out, pop off, unscrew or ??? Or what else should I do? I think this may have been the first leakage on the mat.
Thanks. |

It just pulls off, but you can also just go up the hose with a large cable tie.

hose
Does this hose drain the water coming in the vents below the windshield? My 2010 has fine mesh screening the debris from going in there.
Does it also drain the AC condensate? I'll pull it off & check in a bit. |

The hose only drains the condensate. The vents by the windshield drain to the wiper tray. The air entering the A/C system goes down through those holes, back up and then straight back through the firewall. That path keeps water from entering.

Thanks CTScott. I'm at the dealer right now. They're doing the oil change & will check to make sure the bottom of the hose drain is clear & will show me where that is.

OK
The dealer said there were many spider webs under the car & that 1 one of them may have gotten in the drain & been the clog. They did clean it out from the bottom - no charge with the oil change.
That makes sense as I've had the cabin filter for 2 years to prevent stuff getting sucked into the airbox. They said to wash off the bottom of the car frequently to keep the spiders down. Last edited by Steveh27; 09-07-2012 at 11:58 AM. |

I have the 2005 hatch, and have the same issue of water draining over the front passengers feet.... It only started after driving through deep pools of water along a rural highway, during a very heavy rain storm a year ago... It's been happening every time after a storm since then, so i'm not sure whether the car may have some additional water collecting internally from the rainfall?
Thoughts? I'm keen to try clearing the hose though, and see if it helps next time it happens. |

Please sent me photo of the hose. The carpet was hard to remove, do you just tear it out? Thanks. |

There is a piece of velcro that holds the corner in place. You only have to pull it back a couple of inches to access the hose.
