Consumer Description

WATER IS GETTING IN THREW THE 3RD BRAKE MOUNTED ON THE REAR WINDSHIELD. THE LIGHT IS FOGGED AND WATER IS LEAKING INTO THE MAIN CABIN. THE VEHICLE CAN BE IN MOTION OR STATIONARY. I FEEL IT IS UNSAFE BECAUSE WATER COULD BE SITTING SOMEWHERE IN THE MAIN CABIN, AND COULD EVENTUALLY PRODUCE MOLD. ALSO, THIS IS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE DO TO WATER SHORTING IT OUT.
