Still letting water in

My door is still allowing water to seep in the bottom . Every time it rains water is sitting under the door then slowly drips onto my hardwood floor and warps it .. the door also is warping at the bottom and the thin veneer cover is bubbling at the base and sides

Pictures of the actual damage/puddles help a lot, but at first blush I would say you may have a bad sweep, or the expander on the threshold itself needs to be adjusted upward. I don't know the exact door you're referencing very well, but am 15 years in window/door service with many other brands.
