Consumer Description

VEHICLE HAS A PROBLEM THAT ALLOWS WATER TO LEAK THROUGH THE SUN ROOF SEAL AND FRONT WINDSHIELD SEAL. THE WATER SEEPAGE IS CAUSING ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH CERTAIN VEHICLE FUNCTIONS; NAMELY THE INABILITY TO USE THE KEY FOB REMOTE TO LOCK AND UNLOCK THE VEHICLE. THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS AT THIS POINT APPEAR TO BE INTERMITTENT AND RESOLVE THEMSELVES SEVERAL DAYS LATER, PRESUMABLY AFTER THE WATER HAS EVAPORATED. WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE AFTER IT HAS BEEN RAINED ON, THE TRAPPED WATER WITHIN THE CEILING OF THE VEHICLE BEGINS TO ESCAPE AND FALL THROUGH THE AIRBAG PORTS ON THE A-PILLAR AND FROM THE INTERIOR LIGHT CONSOLE. THE ISSUE SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL WHEN READING VARIOUS REPORTS ON THE INTERNET. *JS
