Consumer Description

FOLLOWING A MINOR ACCIDENT, NO DAMAGE, THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED BROKE THE WINDSHIELD AND DASHBOARD. FOR 12 MONTHS AFTERWARD THE PASSENGER FLOOR WOULD FILL WITH WATER DURING RAIN SHOWERS. I TOOK IT TO BE REPAIRED 4 TIMES WITH NO SUCCESS FINALLY ON THE 5TH TRIP THE BODY SHOP FIGURED OUT THAT THE GLUE OR FILLER THAT WAS PLACED BETWEEN THE WELDED STRUCTURAL COMPONENTS DURING ASSEMBLY AT THE FACTORY HAD CRACKED LEAVING A TINY HOLE THAT WAS SIPHONING WATER INTO THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. THEY APPLIED SEALANT TO THE SEAM BETWEEN THE PASSENGER DOOR PANEL AND ROOF AND SO FAR NO MORE LEAKS. *JB
