In addition, the plastic trim under the car is broken by the mud flap.

If you remove the carpet where it meets the firewall, you would notice some holes that go outside. Since the plastic trim under the car and the plastic mudflap by the rear wheel is broken, water gets into there when it rains making the situation even worse.

When I drive up hill, water starts to flow back out of the large crack in my plastic mud flap.

Ok, time to resolve the water infiltration pronto. If you flood the immobilizer located under the drivers seat you will throw big $$$ getting your car to run again.

Yeah I am working on it today since it is supposed to rain all next week in my area. Luckily, this is only happening on the passenger side.
