   I have a 2011 Mazda CX-9 that sat outside during some extensive rains. I   
   spent the better part of Friday cleaning the carpets (there was some   
   mildew inside, from a leak in the weatherstripping around the door). I   
   left a dehumidifer in the back to help dry things out.   
      
   Saturday I drove it for about 40 miles. Ran like a charm.   
      
   Saturday night I went to the movies, came back and got a check engine   
   light. I put my OBD2 reader on and got a code for an emission systems   
   leak (very tiny leak) - the reader's words, not mine.   
      
   Started it again and got the traction light on, 4wd on, parking brake   
   on, oil pressure light and TPMS warnings.   
      
   I figured it had to be an electrical glitch and limped home on a side   
   road.   
      
   Fingers crossed, Google tells me that there's an electronic box called a   
   BCM (body control monitor) that sometimes gets moisture. Replacements   
   are around $100 to $150 online, so it could be worse. First thing will   
   be to dry the existing box out, check for corrosion and water intrusion.   
      
   Overall, it's been a great car. I bought it for $1000 under blue book,   
   and it's fun to drive. It seats 7 people nicely, and with the seats   
   folded it's an awesome furniture hauler. I put Cooper Endeavour M/S   
   tires on it, and it handles like a dream in the snow. at 140K miles and   
   12 years old, I'm expecting some things to go wrong.
