Chrysler Repair: 06 Stratus flooding, coolant level, core leak


Question
I'm having trouble with front passenger side flooding in my '06 Stratus. I've read all I could find on the subject, but nothing seems to fit. 1.This is definitely water and the coolant level hasn't been going down, so I don't think it's the heater core. 2. The AC drain tube is dripping at a healthy rate so that doesn't seem to be the problem. 3. We've had a VERY dry summer, so I don't see how the door or windshield could have leaked enough to bring the water level to the point of actually being over the carpet, as it was at one point.

Any suggestions on looking for something else?

Answer
Hi Dave,
You have hit on the two sources. Make sure that the fluid doesn't smell of antifreeze, which would be due to a core leak. And then make sure that the drain tube is not partially blocked still by putting a fine wire up the lumen in the backward direction. Other than a windshield leak I can't think of any other source. You may be under warranty still so consider that possibility.
