| Description of the problem | Water leaks from the light above the dash. It is very dangerously distracting while driving, but also has fried my stereo/computer once already. It has now soaked all of the front interior and has started to affect my electrical system. Have taken it into the dealership three times in the last two years and they cannot find or fix the problem. It happens when it rains, but not always, it builds up and collects somewhere and comes out at various times.. While stationary or driving... The worst is while driving and turning corners, it wil pour out water onto the driver or the passenger side depending on the turn. |
