Consumer Description

AFTER A RAIN AND ICE STORM WATER LEAKED AROUND THE WINDSHIELD CAUSING ELECTRICAL FAILURES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND THE HEADLAMPS. WATER ENTERED THE ENGINE OF THE VEHICLE THROUGH AN IMPROPERLY SEALED WINDSHIELD CAUSING THE POWER DISTRIBUTION BOX AND THE GENERIC ELECTRONIC MODULE TO GET WET. THESE COMPONENTS CONTROL VARIOUS ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS IN THE VEHICLE. THIS CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO STOP RUNNING. ELECTRICAL DAMAGE HAD TO BE REPAIRED AND A NEW WINDSHIELD HAD TO BE INSTALLED. THIS CAUSED THE OWNER TO PAY OVER $2000 IN OUT OF POCKET EXPENSES. *NM
