The contact owns a 2008 Nissan Altima. The contact stated that the front drivers side door filled up with water whenever it rained. The contact stated also stated that it sounds like a dish washer when driving the vehicle. None of the other doors have exhibited the failure. The dealer inspected the vehicle and stated that the plugs in the door were clogged which failed to let the water out. The contact had to continue to open the door and let the water run out of the vehicle. The failure caused the speakers on the door to make a buzzing noise. This is a defect because it can cause problems with the mechanics of the door. The failure mileage was 20 and the current mileage was 24000.
