| Interior Lighting problems |
Just began happening in April 2011. Rear cargo light collecting water after heavy rains. Took it to one dealership and they were not successful at correcting the problem. Took it to another dealership where the issue as so far been corrected.
Recurrent water leak through the interior cargo area light/flashlight. The interior light is flooded with water when it is raining or when the car is washed. The water accumulates inside the light and drips to the cargo area. The rear door rubber was changed and a roof seal was repositioned. The dealer has tried to fix the water leak 3 times. I am afraid a fire or short circuit can occur, when the vehicle is in use.
