| Description of the problem | I have been taking my vehicle regularly to the dealership for service. I have not once had an issue until this time. During the rainstorms my vehicle leaked through the sunroof and the passenger front and back side got flooded. Filed an insurance claim and the insurance company came back and said we don't cover wears and tears of seals through the sunroof. The vehicle right now is at the collision shop and they said they don't know if the whole sunroof needs to be changed or the seal. They don't want to check because of liability issues. Called the deanship and asked if there were any recalls on the vehicle and they said no. My only concern is if the vehicle is being serviced for a full inspection why didn't the deanship once mentioned about the sunroof seals needs to be changed at least this many times in this many years. The insurance company is telling me the dealership should have noticed this and has to give a list of items that needs to be changed in this many years. Now i have to come up with whatever the cost is going to be out of my pocket during this pandemic times. If it leaks again then i will not have a vehicle to go to work. No work no food for my family. Just trying the get as much as help as possible. Thank you. |
