vojdiaz: Be rational nalang, i understand your demise, but getting mad at the dealership with such a claim will get you nowhere fast in this country. Try to ask them if they can facilitate some form of cleaning for free nalang, since the car is pretty new, and assuming you didn't have mud water seeping in, it should be pretty pain free.

Then get the grommet/plug replaced... Just keep your cool and enjoy your car...

Exactly what I have in mind, I don't demand nor expect for a new car replacement. Just to fix the leaks, shampoo the carpets, etc. But they want to charge me an arm and a leg for these.

As you can see in my post, I'm waiting for them to reconsider their decision to charge me. I just aired my situation to get a feel on whether what I'm asking (free cleaning) is reasonable.

try a lawyer for a second opinion too.

theveed: Demise? Somebody died?

vojdiaz: If they're charging that much, you can pull it out and take it to any reputable detailer to wash out the carpet. If that voids another warranty, then forget I said anything.

Just got a call from the dealer. All repairs due to water damage to be covered by warranty. They found the source of leak just below the dashboard. They're still not exactly sure where but at least the man up to their responsibilities.

For the benefit of other Tucson owners, please update us on exactly where the leak is as soon as you find out.

So, how high was the "water puddle" anyway?

Some carpets have adhesive on them that will tell you if the carpet was already been removed before. Youre right bro, how can the owner know if he needs to check those rubber plugs to maintain a good smelling car aside from going teh number one car forums like this one(suckup)

.

The last time i had my carpet cleaned cost me around 3k. But hell it smelled better than newly washed panties

This happened at the onramp to the Skyway right after Buendia going South. I usually gauge the depth of flood by looking at the mufflers of vehicles in front of me. I braved the waters since the water level hasn't reached the mufflers of the cars in front of me (although it's almost there). None of the cars and SUV that crossed that "water puddle" got stranded.

The dealer said they found leak just below the dashboard although their explanation were quite unclear. I'm just happy that they decided to charge everything to warranty.
