Water pooled on the rear floor and made it's way up to the front of the passenger side. The vehicle sat over the weekend from 11/26/2019 to 11/31/2019. I was not with the vehicle during this time.

Car sat a few days prior to me leaving for an approximate 750 mile return drive home from va to tn. I had the car heater on - the heater seats on - no modifications done to the car - 2 days later out on road noticed a strong odor ( more specifically like model airplane glue odor ). I was getting dizzy, sleepy, and very nauseated. Pulled over rested. Drove car with windows down, heater on as it was cold. Odor persisted and sick feeling continued entire drive home. …”
