They feel it is the HVAC module and are completely replacing it. However, they did not guarantee that this was the issue! Over $1,000 for everything! This seems like it should be a recall issue or something that I am not completely responsible for since it is happening in other vehicles....especially when they don't know for sure what it is and if this fix will completely fix it. What to do????

Hello Hoss777,

This is certainly something we don’t like to hear from our customers, and would be more than happy to look further into this A/C concern for you. Please send us a private message with your VIN, current mileage, involved dealership, contact information and any addition details you see fit.
Could you please clarify the following for us as well: Is your vehicle currently experiencing this concern at this time? Also, has your dealership performed their recommended repairs?

We look forward to your response, and are available if you have any additional questions.

2008 Chevy Malibu, approximately 70,000 miles. There is a massive amount of water pooling into the rear passenger floorboard, we cannot keep up with removing the water. I see that several people have complained about this,and I am wondering why there is not a recall on this issue?

Still having the issue with water on the floorboard

Looks like the last email on this thread was from 2016. I recently inherited a 2009 Chevy Malibu and it is having the same issue with water in the rear floorboard when the air conditioner is on.
Has their been a recall or a fix to this issue. It is reallly annoying and smelly!!

Thanks,
Kim

Same frustrating issue

I've had my 2008 Malibu since 2010 and have had the same issue forever. I've taken it to the dealer ship multiple times and they can't find anything or figure it out. If this many people are having the exact same issue and in different locations, how is this not a recall? My car smells and living in Fl, mold and mildew also comes with hot, dark, wet spots. I've had the carpets deep cleaned and the water removed several times already. Now, the interior is always humid, damp and clammy even when it's cold. If anyone has a successful resolution, please advise.

Thank you
