Water entering interior of the vehicle. Points of entry include: side air bag openings, foot emergency brake(which is located near vehicle electrical components) shoulder seat belt openings and through dvd screen. This is the second time my vehicle has been service for this complaint. The headliner was removed and repairs have been attempted. My concern are with the damage to air bag output in emergency due to water, electrical component damage such as dvd player and electrical component by emergency brake and also the moisture the interior of the vehicle has been exposed to for mold and mildew.

Gm instituted recall campaign #08207: customer satisfaction - sunroof water leak-install drain tube extensions ' dated: aug 27, 2008. Campaign was preceded by numerous tsbs linked to the same type of water leak. After first leak in oct08, brought vehicle in for the recall and experienced 2 subsequent leaks since the initial recall repair as a result of the same condition. Have had mold in the carpet and padding on 2 separate occasions. Have had significant corrosion in one of the 2 main fuse blocks to the point where srvc. Tech at the dealership could not turn vehicle off using the ignition key. Vehicle leaks after driving in rain. Have service invoices stating that dealer performed water tests after each repair and found no leak yet vehicle has leaked after every repair. Have detailed color photos of soaked wires, saturated headliner, mold damage and corroded fuse block. Vehicle was only driven a total of 689 miles from date of the initial leak to date of the third leak. During third leak, water also dripped from vehicle's rear display onto third row seats. I feel that gm knew about this problem from the beginning because their aug08 #08207 recall actually identified VIN breakpoints of the affected vehicles. Instead, gm chose to deal with it on a case-to-case basis and it has become a very serious issue. The consequences of the water damage can and have already been far-reaching and potentially could injure, kill or affect the health of owners of these vehicles. Consider opening defect investigation, order gm to do safety recall to fix problem before someone is seriously injured. This deserves some press.
