| Description of the problem | When parked in my driveway, at a slight incline, in the rain, the car leaks rain. The water fills the rear ceiling lamp and then spills out into the back of the vehicle. When significant rainfall occurs, the well for the spare tire has filled with several inches of water. This has created a situation for mold to grow, a mildewy smell, and i have concern about the water in the lamp. Vehicle was brought to dealership after first occurance and was "fixed", but during the next storm, it happened again. It's currently at the dealership awaiting repair for the second time. First occurance: 12/18/07 second occurance: 1/5/08. *cn |
