“The contact stated water had leaked onto the vehicle's carpet causing a moldy smell. This happened more frequently on a rainy day and when the vehicle was parked. The contact expressed that water had leaked through the front right passenger door, and the door latches could be the cause. The vehicle was taken to the dealership to diagnosis the problem. But they did not find anything that could generate a water leak.”
