“THE PROBLEM STARTS WITH HEAVY RAIN LEAKING THROUGH THE SUN ROOF. ACCORDING TO THE ED MORSE DEALERSHIP REPRESENTATIVE, THE SUNROOF IS PROJECTED TO PASS SOME WATER (VERY FEW) THAT WILL DRAIN THROUGH THE DRAIN TUBES LOCATED AT THE FRONT AND REAR COLUMNS (SIDES OF THE WINDSHIELD). HOWEVER, THE TUBES MAY GET CLOGGED AN THE WATER STARTS LEAKING INSIDE THE CAR THROUGH THE COLUMNS WERE AIRBAG ARE LOCATED. NEVERTHELESS, THESE TUBES ARE NOT LONG ENOUGH TO DRIVE THE WATER UNTIL THE BOTTOM OF THE CAR SO THE WATER WILL LEAK INTO THE INNER FUSE BLOCK, WILL DAMP THE CARPETS ON THE PASSENGER AND DRIVER SIDES AND MAKE MUCH MORE DAMAGE THAN YOU CAN BELIEVE.

“SUNROOF LEAK: I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT GM HAS FAILED TO ISSUE A PROPER RECALL FOR THE ONGOING PROBLEM WITH LEAKY SUNROOFS! I CAN HEAR WATER "SWOOSHING AROUND" THE SUNROOF AFTER IT RAINS. IT HAS COMPLETELY DRENCHED MY WIFE (WHILE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT) AND IT LEAKS THROUGH THE AIRBAGS. I LITERALLY HAVE PUDDLES (ON THE DRIVER 'S SIDE) FLOOR IN MY VEHICLE AFTER IT RAINS! THE WATER LEAKING OUT WHILE DRIVING IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND POSSIBLE MOLD SPORES DEVELOPING IS A HEALTH ISSUE! PLEASE RECALL! *TR”
