| Description of the problem | We have major leaks in both side rails right above the dash board. We noticed the leaks a couple of days after our car was delivered. It rains a lot in alaska, so basically our car leaks about everyday! We had taken our vehicle into two different dealers and one dealer said he could not find where the leak is coming from and the other dealer said to bring it back in the summer because it is frozen outside, since we took the vehicle in around october! I can't believe a car that is brand new has leaks! I am glad to see that another person has complained about the side rail leaks, i thought it was just my car! Maybe it should be recalled. I have other complaints about the vehicle regarding the steering wheel, which i have already complained about. But, my car has been at the dealer for two weeks now and they still can't figure out the problem. They first told me it was the steering wheel pump. Now they are telling me it's the steering wheel rack. |
