Water under the floor mat in the cabin may be caused by leakage from a certain part of the vehicle body. Here are the details: Leakage location: It is necessary to locate the leaking part and repair it, and clean the water under the floor mat in the cabin. There are many parts of the vehicle body with water channels or drainage holes, such as doors, the front windshield, sunroof, trunk lid, etc., all of which have drainage holes and water channels. Blocked drainage holes: If the drainage holes are blocked, rainwater may enter the vehicle during heavy rain, which could damage the electronic equipment in the car. It is recommended that owners clean the drainage holes and water channels during regular maintenance.

I found water under the car floor mats, and this has been happening frequently during recent rainy days. It turns out that the door seals have aged, allowing water to seep in when it rains or during car washes. If not addressed promptly, this can lead to mold growth causing odors inside the car, as well as corrosion of metal parts and rusting of the chassis, which is very unsafe. I recommend checking all door and sunroof seals as soon as you notice any water stains. If there are cracks, visit a repair shop to replace the seals to prevent further water intrusion and avoid greater damage.

Water under the floor mats may indicate a sealing issue with the car, such as improperly closed door gaps or clogged sunroof drainage pipes, allowing water to accumulate beneath the mats. Especially when the air conditioning is on, condensation can also drip down. Prolonged moisture can lead to rusting of the car's floor and potential short circuits in the wiring, causing malfunctions. The simplest solution, in my opinion, is to check if the sunroof and door drainage holes are clear—using a fine needle to unclog them should suffice. If a significant amount of water is found, it's advisable to seek professional inspection and repair at a specialized shop.

There's always water under the floor mats in my car. Last week, I forgot to close the window tightly when parking, and heavy rain poured in. Upon inspection, I found water leaking through the window gap. I quickly dried it and replaced the floor mats, otherwise the damp environment could easily lead to mold growth, affecting health. Reminding everyone to pay attention to closing doors and windows when parking to avoid similar issues.

Water accumulation under the floor mats is really troublesome. Last time after washing the car, I found the mats were laid before the floor dried, resulting in dampness underneath. Later, I learned that the air conditioning condensate pipe could also leak water inside. It's recommended to purchase waterproof floor mats and regularly check the car's interior flooring, especially during the rainy season. Pay attention to door seals to prevent small issues from becoming big problems.

Why Can't the Car Key Be Turned?

Reasons why the car key can't be turned: The car key may not turn because the steering wheel has automatically locked. This is part of the car's automatic anti-theft system. When the vehicle is turned off, the steering lock pin engages with the steering column, preventing the steering wheel from moving. Even if the key is inserted, it cannot be turned. This is a safety feature designed to protect the vehicle. Here are some solutions: If the car key cannot be turned, you can unlock the steering wheel by inserting the mechanical key, pressing the brake pedal, and then gently turning the steering wheel. Although the steering wheel is locked, it can still be moved slightly. While turning the steering wheel, turn the key at the same time to complete the steering wheel unlocking process. At this point, the vehicle can be started normally.
