2010: “My vehicle was sitting outside my home for a couple weeks. I then decided to take the vehicle for a drive only to see several features in the car malfunction and not working. After taking it to the dealership I had learned the trunk of my car filled up with lots of water due to the drainage holes being blocked withh debris. This resulted in a massive circuit shortage in the rear electrical and sound system located in my trunk rendering the vehicle undriveable.”
