Consumer Description

Cracked rear window frame allows water ingress. This water soaks the seats and carpets creating risk of corrosion and mold. There are 4 airbags near where the water comes in creating concerns that they may be compromised. Water leaks into the rf hub causing it to malfunction. This has happened twice. The first time, 5/9/2022 the vehicle would not turn off requiring battery disconnection to turn it off. The second time, 9/14/2022, the vehicle would not start and the electric parking brake would not release. Dealership has confirmed under tsb 23-016-21. There are also 2 others, one for the 3rd brake light and one for the aux antenna. Vehicle has 13500 miles and is out of warranty.
