Unhappy Re: Engine misfires in the rain.

This has happened twice previously when the car has gone through the car wash. I've had the codes checked, and it's a misfire that causes the check engine light to come on. It's still under warranty, and I asked about it at the dealership, while they were taking care of some other things, and I was told that small cars like our are susceptible to this. I don't know how true that is. It's obvious that water is getting to the engine and causing one or more cylinders to misfire. Has this happened to anyone else? Any advice?
If it only happens when it rains, check to see if your filters are even present...
I sucked up some water and had to replace the Plugs; Filters; and MAF sensor.
