Water accumulated on your front and rear floor mats while the vehicle was parked, and white mold grew under the seats. The dealer couldn't identify the exact cause but suspects it may be related to the air conditioning water hose or the moonroof. When the vehicle sat in the sun for four days with windows closed, the mold spread throughout the interior. Addressing this will likely involve identifying the water leak source (A/C hose or moonroof seal) and replacing damaged components along with professional mold remediation.

Water has been leaking into your car's front passenger floor area due to a failed seal on the roof luggage rack. You noticed a puddle on the floor mat while the car was parked. Both the dealer and manufacturer were contacted but declined to help with repairs. The fix will likely involve replacing or resealing the luggage rack to restore the weatherproof seal.
