I drove 2009 Toyota Highlander in Florida for a week with a/c on all the time. Today I found water puddle on the floor.Is this a clogged a/c drain problem?

On the carpet of the vehicle, or on the ground under it? If on the ground, that's normal. It condensates and drips. If on your car's carpet, that means there is a A/C leak and it is leaking refrigerant in the cab.

It's on the floor, under the carpet. If refrigerant is leaking, a/c wouldn't work but it works fine. It appears condensed water.

Delete the space between(2008- 20) should be (2008-20) for address to work properly.

I have 2008 Highlander Hybrid. Water was leaking on the front passenger's carpet and under the second-row seats as well. I found 3 missing grommet plugs under the rear bumper cover. I replaced those plugs and never had wet carpet again. You can see more pictures here: http://www.diy-time.com/automotive/toyota/fix-water-leak-inside-cabin-2008- highlander/

Seriously, why do people who obviously know nothing about cars answer these questions? Water is not a refrigerant. If you have not a clue, dont answer. Answer By Adam: "If on your car's carpet, that means there is a A/C leak and it is leaking refrigerant in the cab."
