Puddle on Floor!

When I went to get in my car yesterday, I opened my door and was greeted by a half frozen puddle on my floor! It rained Friday and snowed on Saturday, but the car has set out in heavier rain/snow. I know I must have a leak somewhere. Anyone else have a problem like this?

I had a leak between the firewall....drivers side.
If it was the passenger side, I'd suspect the a/c.

Both of which should be covered.

I have an 06 Cobalt LS. No sunroof. I thought it might be the firewall, too, since it's the driver's side.

It is in Fayette County. Uniontown is about 45 miles southeast of Pittsburgh.

I just settled with GM on a Breach of warranty for a similar problem. I took it to Tom Clark six times for a puddle on my drivers floor. They were blaming it on my aftermarket speaker after they replaced all the weather stripping and door seals. So, I put the stock speaker back in and it still was leaking. They put this crazy looking plate around the speaker to deflect the water. The water was coming from the inside of the door and pushing it self over the stripping under hte speaker. I believe that the drain holes in the bottom of the door keep clogging and it feels the door up then pushes through the clip holes that hold the door panel on. I saw the path when I took the panel off but they still wouldn't listen, which is why I called 1800my lemon.

It isn't leaking, but it had quit once before for a couple months. And if you mean about the suit, we settled out of court for a thousand dollars.

It was the highest they would settle without going to court, and since my car is an 06, it was considered a breach of warrant and not a lemon because a lemon is only in the first year in PA.

I had more water today. I did replace my factory speakers, so I took it back to the place that installed the speakers and they sealed them with dyno. You should have seen how wet the speakers were when they took them out!
