Consumer Description

Rear Window seal and Fin on top of roof failed causing large amounts of water to enter the car cabin flooding the floor around electrical components under passenger seat area and elsewhere,Floor was sopping wet many times before I found out there was a rear window problem.I fear since I live in tropical Florida Mold may be growing under my carpet ,plus we had a bad smell like nasty old cigars in the cabin when we get in ,No one smokes in my family..I took it to the dealer for repair who stated yes we know about it ,it is a common problem and we can fix it but it is not covered under warranty,I paid $183.84 to have the dealer repair my leaks as I was concerned about a fire from electrical wires shorting out.After they fixed it there repair causes water to flow from the dirty roof down the back of my rear tinted window causing me a loss of visibility out my rear window unless i climb in the back of my truck bed and clean my rear window regularly. Which is very hard for a [XXX] man who has had a spinal fusion to do .Because this repair they made fills in the water channel that moves the water to the sides of the windows and off the truck sides ,it now flows like niagara falls over the back of my window from the top of the roof causing a constant dirty window that blocks my vision on a tinted window worse than a normal window and is a safety hazard .The window was designed to channel the water to the sides to prevent that problem and keep the window clean and clear. it is very irritating to check your rear window when backing or looking to see if anyone's back there where the camera does not show and as your driving down the [XXX] and trying to change lanes at 70mph with a filthy tinted rear window its dangerous. I have not been reimbursed from the Manufacturer for the dealer repairs to my window after i sent in required documents to be reimbursed as stated in there letter to me that also extends my warranty on this. its been 9 months now INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U
