Consumer Description

ON 7/10/2020 VEHICLE WAS BACKED IN AND PARKED IN DRIVEWAY ON A SLIGHT INCLINE. WE HAD A HEAVY RAINFALL (ITS STORM SEASON) NEXT MORNING WENT TO GET IN CAR, THERE WAS 2 TO 3 INCHES OF WATER ON THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER FLOORBOARD MOON ROOF CLOSED, WINDOWS UP. WATER SEEMED TO BE DRIPPING FROM UNDER THE DASHBOARD. CHECKED VENTS UNDER HOOD, CLEAR. CLEANED IT ALL UP AND DRY VACUUMED. TODAY, 7/15/2020 ANOTHER ROUND OF HEAVY RAINFALL...CAR PARKED IN DRIVEWAY ON SLIGHT SLOPE, ALL CLOSED UP. CHECKED AFTER RAIN STOPPED, ON PASSENGER SIDE 2 INCHES OF RAIN, DRIVER SIDE 1 INCH OF RAIN. DRIPS APPEARED TO BE COMING OUT OF PASSENGER VISOR MIRROR. IMMEDIATELY DRIED IT UP WITH TOWELS. NO ACCESS TO NEIGHBORS DRY VAC TODAY (THEY ARE OUT OF TOWN). I HAVE ALREADY HAD TO REPLACE THE SEAL AROUND THE WINDSHIELD ONCE AND I BELIEVE IT IS POSSIBLY THE SEAL AGAIN. HAVE NOT GONE TO DEALERSHIP YET, I AM BUSY WITH A FUNERAL IN THE FAMILY. I SEE I COULD HAVE SENT A PHOTO, I WAS UNAWARE UNTIL I RESEARCHED POSSIBLE RECALLS OF THIS WEBSITE.
