As I was driving my 2002 I-35 I started hearing water sloshing noises and noticed that it looked wet on the floorboard on the passenger side. I finally saw water running down from underneath the plastic covering the interior side of the car down from the dash and also got a cold splash of water on my foot that was on the gas pedal, water was dripping out on the drivers side too. Does anyone have any idea on what is going on and where this leak is coming from It is on passenger and driver side. It was not raining when this happened and my car had been parked in the garage. I will be taking it into the dealer tomorrow, it only has 57,000 miles.

Hmmmm....

A/C running? Could be your condensation drain is clogged up, not a big deal to fix.

As long as it's not hot, green water, you're in good shape!

Evaporator is sweating, usually caused by leaves and other derbis like hitman said.

I agree with that too. Pull off the glovebox and unclog the drain...

I thought that those cars had cabin filters before the evaporator, or is it before????

Dotn the I's have dual climate contorl?

Wes - I don't think the I has prefilters or dual-zone.
