BOTH HEAD LIGHTS FILLED UP WITH SO MUCH CONDENSATION IT SHORTED THE BULBS TO WHERE THEY DID NOT WORK AT ALL....IN THE RAIN...LATE AT NIGHT!...ON THE HIGHWAY WITH CHILDREN IN THE CAR!! I WAS UNABLE TO SEE ANYTHING AND HAD TO USE FLOOD LAMPS ON MY DRIVE HOME WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR IN THE CITY AND ON THE HIGHWAY. LOOKED THIS UP AND IT IS VERY COMMON FOR THIS MAKE AND MODEL....THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. THERE COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN A CRASH OR FATALITY IF I WAS NOT COMFORTABLE DRIVING IN UNCOMFORTABLE CONDITIONS!

THE VEHICLE'S SUNROOF DRAIN HOSE MATERIAL SHRINKS DUE TO CHANGING ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS. THIS RESULTS IN THE DRAIN HOSES DETACHING FROM THE DASH OR SUNROOF MODULE. WATER LEAKS INTO THE VEHICLE DAMAGING INTERIOR COMPONENTS INCLUDING WIRING, ELECTRONIC MODULES, THE SOUND DEADENER AND CARPET. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME IT RAINS OR THROUGH CAR WASHES.
