Default Leak from under driver side dash

Just completed 10 hour trip and had a drop of cool liquid hit my right foot about every half hour. It is clear liquid, not oily. I can't see where it is coming from. Anyone else have this happen?? I'm guessing it has something to do with the air conditioning.

It sounds like condensation from the A/C....don't know why it would be leaking in the cab though...

Have seen posts like this before. Do a search on condensation. It is no doubt a bad fit between the hoses leading into the cab.

why?! i thought they fixed all the problems with the 06's??? this is just nonsense! Hogwash!! Plus the firewall is straight up flat, i don't know why it would be leaking. Have to remove the front dash. The a/c tubes and hoses are right behind the radio.

That is probably condensate from thr A/C, and while there is a TSB covering the xB through some of the 2006 models, that particular problem shouldn't be getting any drops on the DRIVER's foot.

I assume you are under warranty. Take it in to the dealer, explain what happened, and explain you'd rather not have it happen again.

If you are not under warranty, it gets to be a lot more work.
