| Description of the problem | I noticed a bad smell for months and could not figure out where it was coming from. Recently i noticed water coming in from the rear passenger seatbelt. I called the dealership and they had me bring it in immediately. They found mold and said it was due to the moon roof leaking. The carpeting was replaced by professionals since their employees could not be exposed to the mold. I had the car for over a year and drove it with my asthmatic child daily. No one has yet to address the health hazard this is. Not to mention the molding around the doors and several guards and pieces no longer fit properly and are sliding all over the floor as i drive. |
