Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Passenger compartment fills with water (over one inch!) in heavy rains at freeway speeds. I determined (mechanical engineer) that wheel spray from rear tire penetrated poorly sealed body seams on passenger side. Took dealer four times to fix even though I identified the problem. I showed approximate area of leaking at foot level on right lower body and they replaced the window! Next time they sealed the firewall and finally two sealant patches were made in the area of actual leakage. Total of four trips to have fixed. Still slightly leaks in the heaviest rains at freeway speeds.”
