| Description of the problem | We are aware that there was a different recall that did not include our car that caused corrosion in the paneling of the car from the moon roof and it was possibly causing air bags to deploy. We have been to the dealership to be serviced and they have explained to us that there is excessive amount of corrosion in the panels of the car and also the corrosion and water leakage has destroyed the electrical components of our backup camera/system. We are wondering if this has been brought up by other people because, although our car's vin was not included in the recall i am referring to, it seems strange that my car has these exact same issues. There is not an exact date attached to these issues because it must have been happening for quite some time. The only reason we know of the corrosion is because the dealership employee crashed into our car and they had to fix the damage. In doing so they discovered the excessive amounts of corrosion and could not explain the reasoning/cause behind it. |
