| Description of the problem | There is a water leak coming from the roof area after a rain with vehicle parked outside. Most of it is coming down near the dome lights upon stopping from forward motion. It causes water to go into the dash and electronics panel and onto driver and front seat passenger. Sunroof seal was replaced by dealer with no result. I returned it to dealer for further inspection and repair. Major hidden water damage suspected. Dealer says they cannot get mfg involved at this time. I requested a replacement and was told it could not be done without a trade up for more money. |
