| Exterior Lighting problems |
The sunroof leaks and water pours down from the front overhead lights onto the dash, into the radio and seeps into the front carpets. This happens anytime there is rain, whether the car is stationary or moving.
Water leaks from the light above the dash. It is very dangerously distracting while driving, but also has fried my stereo/computer once already. It has now soaked all of the front interior and has started to affect my electrical system. Have taken it into the dealership three times in the last two years and they cannot find or fix the problem. It happens when it rains, but not always, it builds up and collects somewhere and comes out at various times. . While stationary or driving. . . The worst is while driving and turning corners, it wil pour out water onto the driver or the passenger side depending on the turn.
For the past 3-4 years all bulbs for signal light purpose do not last even 4 to 5 month after replacement. I cannot figure out the problem nor repair shop. Vehicle has been with me since brand new.
