    Update: dealer called today.. said they think it's the cowl that's under the wiper blades? Says when they use hose they see it over flow instead of just drain and it goes into the interior from there? What is this shit??? I'm so curious since I don't have my truck I can't see where it would be pouring into when flooded... Should get back tomorrow. Sick of this Camry. Camry seats are so uncomfortable... But mpg was amazing... Let's hope it rains soon so I can test her

    This makes me think it overflows and gets into the cabin air system somehow.

    Simple as a seal in wrong etc?

    I'm glad to hear that, as it should be an easy fix.

    Absolutely take it back. Then bring it back for a separate visit. Lemon the sucker if they can't fix it.

    In the US you guys have awesome lemon laws. You can totally bend a maker over and either get it fixed or return the car. In Canada, were the ones catching.

    It's nearly impossible to lemon law a vehicle here.

    Don't give us too much credit. It's pretty tough to lemon something here in practice. Most people that "lemon" a vehicle actually just settle on a buy back, but those are also fairly rare.

    Here is a quote from a consumer group here:

    "Many consumers believe that BC has a "lemon law" that gives them the right to a refund or replacement if their newly purchased vehicle is defective. However, the truth is that the seller is only obligated to fix the vehicle under the warranty that was sold with the vehicle."

    So they can say they fixed the problem. It was a leak from blah blah and so and so. Then later it happens again, and they say We can't find it. Then later Oh look it was something different now and we fixed it. Then all of a sudden your warranty is up, and it's back again. Then you are royally hooped. I drive about 25K miles a year, warranty lasts me less than a couple years, and I've had nothing but trouble with extended warranties. My current strategy is to just trade it in if things are going wrong and start over. My Pro is my 4th new car in 5 years.

    UPDATE: just got truck back today.... manager said he took the truck home and hosed it over night.... for shits and giggles i use the wiper blade washers and drove around for an hour..... the drops and leaking have returned. same spot under glove, passenger side. already small pool of washer fluid on my rubber mats. im kinda saddened and surprisingly not enraged. i just have this feeling its going to be lemon law'd. (lawed?). FUCK. might end up going back to riced out hatch backs or mustangs... it did feel fking awesome driving manual for 1 hour.... i dont know if i can handle another camry for a week, so help me God. so now its been in dealer for 1 day the first time it happened. 8 days on the second visit. i believe its 30 days for PA lemon law?

    If you haven't opened up a case with corporate you need to. Geez, this is insane. I would be all over these clowns for this. Water leaks almost always carry mold if not handled quickly and correctly. Hang in there but stay on them. I've never seen one like this.

    UPDATE: manager calls me and says cars ready. they had to use epoxy on fire wall area, a connecter near the blower, and some on the roof. they then redid the seal on windshield because it was leaking there again even after they replaced it. i asked them if they were sure it was fixed. they replies yes. i drove 5 minutes to work and took a hose and showered her with it.... low and behold now its leaking inside from top right windshield.... im done. i called toyota and someone should be contacting me within 1 day. now im mad.... this is 4th time..... how? why? damnit

    I bet you are gonna get this one worked out, or hooked up large by Toyota. I really doubt they drop the ball on this, well past how it's been dropped.
