In owners' own words
Leaking sunroof is ruining interior components, including headliner. Multiple fixes and service bulletins covered under warranty have not been successful. Very concerned it's going to lead to larger electrical, body rot, and mold issues, not to mention completely ruining any value the car has. Most recent photograph uploaded was following a rainstorm on 4/11/2021. Structure · reported at 30,000 miles
Panoramic sunroof leaks water into interior, causing condensation on all interior glass and making it difficult/impossible to see out. There is so much condensation that ac/defrost settings cannot remove it in a timely manner. It takes so long that one tries to drive even before full outward vision has been restored, increasing risk greatly. Structure · reported at 1,100 miles
Vehicle was stationary while being washed. Water leaking into the interior through the headliner on both the right and left sides behind the panoramic roof. Concerned for mold, electrical component damage. Could also be further safety issue if this happens when in motion. Structure · reported at 40,000 miles
