 The turn signal clicker continues clicking after the signal has been de-activated. this defect leads to people not using the signal as they do not want to risk listening to the annoying clicking that sometimes goes on for hours.

 Sunroof drains clog causing backup of water to settle on floors ruining carpet, causing mold. water gets into door frames causing buckling of doors during winter months. water damage also caused an electrical wiring short which caused an airbag failure as well as ruined two batteries. i have not used or opened the sunroof since for fear of more problems. i was informed that the cost to replace the carpeting again would be charged to me if the car had another water problem again due to the clogged drains. *tr
