Typical body and structure symptoms owners report

  • Panoramic sunroof glass shatters or explodes without impact while driving, sometimes at highway speed, showering glass into the cabin.
  • Hood unlatches while driving and triggers the hood-ajar warning, or the hood's rubber sealant shrinks and raises concern about water entering the engine area.
  • Water leaks into the cabin through the front floor, windshield/cowl area, or body seam, sometimes reaching the wiring near the airbag and producing a burnt or wet-wire smell.
  • An 'Active Air Dam System fault' message appears on the dash after the driver's side air dam motor actuator shows signs of external damage.
  • Recurring water intrusion on the passenger side leads to mold and mildew even after dealer repair attempts.
