Gm instituted recall campaign #08207: customer satisfaction - sunroof water leak-install drain tube extensions dated: Aug 27, 2008. Campaign was preceded by numerous tsbs linked to the same type of water leak. After first leak in oct08, brought vehicle in for the recall and experienced 2 subsequent leaks since the initial recall repair as a result of the same condition. Have had mold in the carpet and padding on 2 separate occasions. Have had significant corrosion in one of the 2 main fuse blocks to the point where srvc. Tech at the dealership could not turn vehicle off using the ignition key. Vehicle leaks after driving in rain. Have service invoices stating that dealer performed water tests after each repair and found no leak yet vehicle has leaked after every repair. Have detailed color photos of soaked wires, saturated headliner, mold damage and corroded fuse block. Vehicle was only driven a total of 689 miles from date of the initial leak to date of the third leak. During third leak, water also dripped from vehicles rear display onto third row seats. I feel that gm knew about this problem from the beginning because their aug08 #08207 recall actually identified VIN breakpoints of the affected vehicles. Instead, gm chose to deal with it on a case-to-case basis and it has become a very serious issue. The consequences of the water damage can and have already been far-reaching and potentially could injure, kill or affect the health of owners of these vehicles. Consider opening defect investigation, order gm to do safety recall to fix problem before someone is seriously injured. This deserves some press.

Involved in frontal colision with major damage pushed into the drivers door making it difficult to open. The airbags did not inflate. Also issues with the battery that it would go dead every so often. This was look at by my dealer and I was told there was no issue. The battery went totally dead and we were unable to call for road side assistance and had to use my cell phone. Other issues todate the remote start works only when it wants to and at times the cruise control and all other steering wheel controls will not work. Then start working with out any reason.
