| Description of the problem | Enough issues that a class action suit in new jersey for this exact matter is in process. Faulty sunroof rear drain tubes become pinched, looped, or otherwise unable to drain away water. When water comes forward (as in braking on the freeway and narrowly averting an accident) water comes down and through the a pillars and overhead console, and other areas of headliner. A bit startling when traveling in rush hour traffic on the freeway. After reading about the countless stories of other owners experiencing the same thing, i began contacting dealerships including the out of area dealership where the vehicle was bought used in december 2011. It became apparent that there would be no relief and i would bear most if not all of the cost of the repair of this design flaw that can create very unsafe driving conditions and cause accidents. |
