Example complaints

Electrical system: “This spring the right front (passenger side) sun roof drain hose came off while the car was sitting. Water poured down the front pillar flooding the electrical control box and putting approx. 2 of water into the floor. (found this out after it broke down) the car was dried out and not knowing the cause flooded again. I read about this problem after looking on the internet and reattached the hose. Several days later my wife was driving the car through one of the worst interstate intersections in ma, rt3 and 93 merge, and the car lost power and stalled. …”
