| Noticed water while raining was coming from the lighting/heating panel at top-roof panel that controls heating, air and lights after entering the vehicle. water continued to leak into the vehicle until the rain stopped, then lights inside the truck came on while driving at night which caused driver to swerve from lights coming on without warning. as of this date, truck is in body shop for repairs of water leak through the lighting/heating control switches. light switch had to be set to off until can be fixed or lights now continue to come on randomly when driving and continues to leak whenever it rains. also, note this started after the heavy rains of hurricane sandy. have owned other suvs by other makers and never had anything like this to happen! *tr | |||
