Water leak around the clutch

Well it was raining pretty hard last week, and I noticed water dripping on my left foot by the rest pedal. I figured this couldn't be good since alot of wires and sensors are under the steering wheel. A couple hours later, my car wouldn't start and to make a long story short, $460 later from the dealership the car is running again. Apparently, there was a faulty hose from the sunroof that was supposed to drain excess water, and it leaked into the driver side of the car and messed up the electronics.

There are drain hoses that drain down the A pillar and C pillar that drain any water that gets onto the sunroof frame. If that hose somehow got re-routed, that sounds like it could be your problem.

Sounds like they just waited for it to dry out and tried again. I'd make sure that it doesn't happen again and they repaired/rerouted the hose.

Yeah the tech said that the hose had a slit in it and it was causing the water to reroute towards the harness. The hose got replaced everything got dried up and the car runs great now. All I need to get done now is some bodywork
