SRS LIGHT STAYED ON CONTINUOUSLY WHILE CAR WAS IN MOTION. THE DEALER REPLACED THE SEAT BACKS, SINCE THEY CLAIMED THAT THE SIDE AIR BAGS WERE THE PROBLEM. THE LIGHT HAS NOT COME ON SINCE THE REPAIR. ALSO, THE STEERING WHEEL AIR BAG COVER DID NOT PROPERLY FIT. THIS UNIT WAS ALSO REPLACED. THIS REPAIR ALSO APPEARS TO BE ACCEPTABLE. AS FOR THE WINDSHIELD, IT IS LEAKING WATER INTO THE INTERIOR. THE DEALER ALREADY MADE TWO ATTEMPTS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. THE FIRST ATTEMPT INCLUDED RESEALING THE WINDSHIELD, AND THE SECOND ATTEMPT WAS AN ADJUSTMENT TO THE MOONROOF. THEY CLAIMED THAT BOTH OF THESE FIXES WOULD WORK, BUT I'M STILL FINDING WATER LEAKING INTO THE INTERIOR. THE LEAK HAS REMAINED AT THE SAME LOCATION, ABOUT 4-6 INCHES LEFT OF CENTER.*AK
