| Description of the problem | This car was purchased as a certified vehicle after receiving the emissions fix. After less than 10,000 miles and only one year of ownership, all my dashboard warning lights came on (including airbag error) and the floor mats were soaked when i started my car after a severe rain storm. I was told the sunroof drains were plugged and caused the electrical issues. The drain being plugged with debris is considered an external factor and therefore the repairs are not covered by the warranty of this certified car. The owner's manual indicates that maintenance on the sun roof drains is recommended at 40,000 miles. As noted, the car was below the 40,000 mark but had sat idle for over a year between the time it was bought back from the original customer to when it was sold as a certified vehicle. |
