Not knowing what just happened she started looking around. The next thing we heard was glass breaking and falling on to the sunroof liner of the car. Luckily we were only a mile from a rest area. …”
NHTSA complaint #10547258, filed 2013-10, 26 miles“This morning I was parked in a lot outside of a store with my trunk open. I was leaning in the trunk moving items around.

My husband began hollering to hit the button which I still had. …”

On numerous occasions it has backed up, leaked into left rear (driver's side) floor causing carpet to get wet.
