So for a couple of weeks we noticed that upon taking a left turn, we would hear a loud slushing noise (like a fan was being strained). Only on left turns, not right turns. I noticed water was leaking into the passenger foot well, and upon removing the cabin filter panel in the back of the glove box, I noticed that things were wet in there. So I could only surmise that water condensating from the AC had somehow gotten into the duct system, and on turning left was hitting the fans?
Took it into the dealer, and the AC drain was plugged up with leaves, small acorns, etc, so the water had backed up like I thought. $200 later they had cleaned everything out.
Not sure why this happened, the only thing I can think of is that I had changed the cabin filter last year with the inexpensive TYC filter that you can find online. The filter seemed fine, although a bit bunched up in the middle, so not sure if all this crud got past it?
I ordered a couple of new filters, different brands (one by Pentius, the other by ATP), just to see if those are a little more stiff than the TYC. Or maybe I was a dumba** and somehow bunched up the TYC filter after installing it...?
Anyway, just thought I'd post this in case someone does a search for it, I couldn't find something similar in my search of the forum (then again, my search skills aren't the best).
