“During a torrential downpour my car began leaking while parked on the street. The leaking subsided once the rain stopped. The headliner and my heated seats both got wet due to this issue. When I contacted the dealer in regard to this issue I was informed that this was a known issue and I would need to file a claim through my insurance or pay out of pocket. To my knowledge the windshield has never been replaced and this is the first time I have experienced this issue as I previously kept my car in a garage.”

Also roof shade very wet. Called rr dealer. Tild me to bring it in. Never told me it was not under warranty.
