Model Year	2012
File date	30/11/20
Component	ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Water is leaking from the sunroom on the passenger front side when it rains. I am concerned because it is soaking the area around the electronics, and has flooded the footwells of the front and rear passenger side of the vehicle. In addition, now the right side of the hvac system is not functioning properly and i cannot de-fog the entire right side of the windshield while driving. There is also significant mold build up from the damp areas, and it doesn't seem like a good idea to breathe that in. Water drips and soaks the right side of the vehicle when stationary or in motion in the rain. Leak has been getting progressively worse over the last several months.
