Description of the problem | Sunroof leaked while closed filling the car with gallons of water, creating water damage and risk of electrical failures. The vehicle was parked in a driveway. There is an existing class action lawsuit regarding this problem, however the owners were not made aware, and the soonest dealership appointment to remedy the issue was 1 week from the call, with no sense of urgency. This is unacceptable for a vehicle under mfg warranty, which is not safe to drive in the mean time. |
