Description of the problem | Accumulation of airborne debris such as leaves and dirt in the drain tubes for the sun roof plugs drains causing water to run into cabin and accumulate (gallons) under carpeting on both driver and passenger sides. Yaw sensor is under passenger seat and fails due to exposure to water. Skid control system fails without input from yaw sensor. Much online research was required to learn cause of failure because dealer denied there was water and that failure of sensor was probably due to tilting the car on jack or other, unseating component in sensor. |
