Have started to see condensation develop on the casing and then drip water on the passenger side of my 1999 Tahoe. I took it into the dealership and they told me that the drain was clogged and so they cleant it and charged me $85 for the cleanup of the drain.
Well the $85 would have been well spent if that would have resolved the problem but it did not. The water is still dripping in the truck after condesation accumulates on the passenger side and so took it into the dealership again this morning. The story now from the service advisor after checking with his technician is that this is normal behaviour. I asked to talk to the supervisor and got the same story.
I can believe condesation occuring but not at the rate that this is happening and causing water to drip into the passenger side next to the feet. Also I did not experience this problem for the 3 plus years that I have had this truck and now suddenly have this water dripping in the cab.
Basically I have been told that this is working as designed and there is nothing that they can do to fix this problem. I am having a problem accepting that answer and so am going to take it in to another dealership or shop to see what they come up with.
In the meantime wanted to put this out here to see if anyone has any suggestions as to what the problem could be and how to solve it.
I just cannot accept that a $35k truck does this and I should just accept it. I like the truck and would like to have the problem fixed and hope that happens otherwise I have to look fo a better engineered truck which does not leak water like an old bladder.
What chaps me is that the dealership is putting the ownes on me to find why this is happening and not doing the proper diagnosis and figuring out the cause of the problem which is what the supposedly are trained to do.
