Description of the problem	I noticed my car has been cutting out and not having power when driving down a freeway. Ill put the pedal down it didnt move. I noticed my stereo started kind of flashing as well. I figured maybe it was electrical so i started looking around and i opened up my trunk and it was 4 inches of water where my spare tire is. Then i started looking around where my panoramic sunroof is and there's a huge spots of water that's wet. They did not disclose this to me when i purchase the car and i asked them if there was any problems of leaking. I think it's messing up my electrical system and my power. I felt very unsafe when i wasn't able to accelerate in the middle of traffic.
