Recreational Vehicle Lpg Tank Valve/gauge Problems of Cadillac SRX

After a heavy storm, I attempted to start my car that was parked in the driveway, but nothing in the car would respond to the key fob or push to start. After jumping the battery, we were able to start the vehicle, however, the electrical systems were erratically shutting off and restarting. The gauges and system lights kept blinking and turning off. The engine began to smoke, so I turned the vehicle off. There was a musty smell which provoked me to search for water intrusion. The front floorboards were soaking wet. I couldn't get the liftgate open, so I climbed into the rear area and found compartments that had standing water. The rear carpets were also wet. I had the vehicle towed to the dealership, and they informed me that the storm caused debri to clog the sunroof drains causing the overflow pans to pour into the vehicle. This caused the liftgate module to initiate a perpetual signal to the battery causing it to die. I also had water and fogging built up in the headlight covers reducing the lamp output. After researching this issue, I found that it is a very common design flaw that gm refuses to admit or even cover repairs beyond the initial manufacturer's warranty. This is very disconcerting because I'm sure the issue will happen again when there's a rain downpour, and it's only a matter of time before the water corrodes the liftgate module or other electronic components. Water avoidance is not an option. I feel that gm should own this problem they created and provide a permanent solution to the issue.

The idiot light or gauge light came on indicating that there was an electrical problem. We brought the vehicle right back to the used car dealer and he sent the vehicle down the block to the gm dealer who found some corroding wires , he supposedly fixed them. A couple days later the light came on again and w brought the vehicle back to the used car dealer who again brought it to the dealer where the cadilac was found to be heavily corroded in the harness area by the drivers side. . They told us that there might have been a leaf clog by the windshield and the wipers preventing proper drainedge. And the water backed up into the car. They supposedly changed the harness under the drivers mat. A couple of months later we noticed that the whole drivers sidewindow was very wet. . We dismissed this incident with a mutual befuddlement. A couplpe of months later the whole drivers side window was frozen on the inside of the car. Wekind of figured it had something to do with the drivers window being wet monthe earlier. Now here it is in March of 2014 and my wife was looking for something in the car and she happened to touch the passenger front floor matt right after a heavy rain and she found the floormat soaked she got out the wet-dry vac and pulled near a half a gallon of water from the rug underneath the floor mat.
