Typical electrical symptoms owners report
- Water or spilled liquid from the cup holder area seeps into the MMI computer module mounted under the arm rest, disabling radio, windows, and headlights in sequence.
- The MMI infotainment and navigation unit shuts off or reboots on its own while driving in the rain or after a car wash, sometimes at highway speed.
- Clogged sunroof drains let water reach the amplifier and control modules, killing the stereo and MMI functions and draining the battery.
- The vehicle stalls or misfires at highway speed and is slow to crank on startup, which owners tie back to water intrusion affecting electrical components.
- Rear speakers crackle and cut out, and heated-seat or fan-blower controls stop responding after water exposure, with symptoms fading in and out over time.
