I have recently given my 2004 Dodge Stratus RT coupe to my daughter because her Dodge v8 4wd truck was getting about 14 mpg. I had the RT for nearly 10 years and loved it. There is a strange problem with it that I would love to fix. It leaks water on to the drivers side floor front and rear. I thought about drilling holes in the floor but decided against that. I had all four sunroof drains checked…all clear. Next check was the AC condensate drain line…all clear. The floor stays damp most of the time and sometimes a wet dry vac is needed to get the water out. Also no cats or dogs have access to the vehicle. The water has no smell. I haven’t tested to see if it tastes bad but I suppose I could. The RT is such a fun car to drive, I hate to see my daughter get rid of it. Any ideas other than drilling holes as noted above?
Check your firewall rubber plugs,your door seals,the caulk around your windshield,rust holes under floorpan.Did your car ever had a recent windshield replacement?
Check the door drains. Pull the door cards off and see if thif re is water collecting inside the doors, front and rear, on the driver’s side.
I thought I mentioned that I had all four sunroof drain lines checked and they were clear.

Might there be leaves plugging up the cowl area drain in front of the windshield?
