| About february 2004, two months after i bought my car the windshield seal poped up from the bottom of drivers side. dealership placed a new windshield and sealed it back. a month later the seal came off again on the same side. i went back, this time they just resealed it. then, my sunroof began to leak,through the ceiling lights, i went back again, they looked it up saying its nothing-vents needs to be cleared up. after that procedure my windshield began to leak!now after each time it rains, inside of my car accumulates water-my radio/cd buttons failed to work anymore, plus the interior starts to get ruined by water spots. its a problem to me , not only because i'm leasing the car, but 'cause it takes away my millage going back and forth to fix it, plus my time. ps. i have a slight problem, at the time of purchising the car, dealership told me it was leased to one owner (year before me), but i went to carfax.com and found out it was not only leased to two other people, but it was used as a rental car at the very beginning. if i had known those facts as i was buying the car, i would have never signed papers for it. when i got back to the dealers with this information, they told me it wasnt a big deal and that nothing could be done about it. i personaly do not like to fix problems on this new car of mine, after other people might have been responsible for them. thank you for your time, i hope to hear back from you soon. *ak | |||
