Consumer Description

THE VEHICLE HAD WATER DAMAGE FROM 'CLOGGED SUNROOF DRAINS', WHICH CAUSE WATER TO RUN ALL DOWN THE SIDE AND BACK PANELS CAUSING AN EXTENSIVE AMOUNT OF DAMAGE FROM ONE HORRIBLE DESIGN FLAW. SOME OF THE THINGS EFFECTED WAS ELECTRICAL COMPANY'S SUCH AS ELECTRONIC PARKING BREAK WAS ENGAGED AND WOULD NOT RELEASE CAUSE THE VEHICLE NOT TO MOVE! NEXT WAS CORROSION ON SEVERAL OTHER INSIDE WIRES HAVING TO DO WITH STEERING AND POSSIBLY AIR BAGS, BUT WHO KNOWS IF THEY WILL BE EFFECTIVE UNTIL THERE IS AN ACCIDENT AND IT'S TOO LATE TO FIND OUT IF THEY ARE DMAMGED. OTHER SAFETY FEATURES SUCH AS SIDE DETECTION WAS CORRODED SO IT TOO MALFUNCTIONED. THERE WAS A LOT OF OTHER ELECTRICAL THINGS DAMAGED BUT THE CAR IS IN THE SHOP AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE COULD BE A HUGE SAFE CONCERN. THERE IS NOW SO MUCH MOLD WHICH IS DANGEROUS TO BE BREATHING IN IF NOT TOTALLY REPLACED. THERE IS AN EXTENSIVE AMOUNT OF WATER IN THE SPARE TIRE WHEEL WELL THAT IS CAUSING RUST AND THE INABILITY TO USE THIS SAFETY FEATURE IF NEEDED! THIS BECAME A HORRIBLE SAFETY CONCERN FOR MYSELF AND WHOMEVER MY BE TRAVELING IN MY VEHICLE. PLEASE DO RESEARCH INTO THIS BECAUSE I COULD NOT BELIEVE THIS COULD HAPPEN TO A CAR WITH ONLY 70,000 MILES! MY CAR IS IN THE SHOP SO I CANNOT TAKE ANY PICTURES OF IT! PLEASE HELP!
