Wash it yourself, just kidding. Check the all the clamps on the air induction system. On mine the clamp nearest the throttle body came loose. Maybe some water is getting in when that big blower comes on at the end of the wash. I run mine through car washes in the dead of winter and have no problems.
I did a modified way zoodad that won't look so bad and avoid the sucking in of water. Once you remove the grill you will see the vertical support on the drivers side. The snorkel of the air cleaner is behind this in a closed space. Pull back the rubber hood seal and look down. You can use a lock set hole saw in a drill and drill a hole on the outside of this support below the level of the snorkel. Once the grill is installed you only see the hole through the side grill. |

well, i think its safe to say you are getting water where it shouldnt go. finding it can be tough. make your dealer fix it. dont be surprised if it takes more than one visit.

Your air filter is most likely getting wet. After your next car wash, pull out of the stall and open the airbox and pull out your filter to feel if it is wet or not. If you inspect all of the clamps and can't find something wrong, do like gearman says and bring it to your dealer.
