After it rains, ( in motion or standing still ) water comes through the light above sun visor, soaks the driver's side floor front and back, and goes into dash this is causing corrosion to all electrical components in the dash could cause failure to devices and a fire hazard. The touchscreen went black, so I pulled the fuse only to notice the fuses had corrosion. My feet get soaked making the pedals slippery. I did research online only to realize I am not the only one with this problem. The water on the floor has soaked through the carpet and pad to about 1/2" of water at the highest point. This could cause mold and mildew to be circulated through the car. The car has gotten condensation on the windshield after it rains and the sun comes out. The moisture inside the vehicle is starting to cause damage to all electronics.

Driving in a 35 MPH zone when I drove over a small pothole. The car made a long bang noise, car began to sway side to side uncontrollably. I learned that my coil springs were severely damaged and had bended my rims of the wheels inwards, and thus my rear wheels became deflated. Had to change the coil springs and rims, but I noticed that 3-4 months later, the coil springs and shocks are deteriorating once again and continue to have the loud bang noises and car drops heavily after going over speed bumps. Also, car is hard to keep steady in areas where there is wind even in the mildest forms, which is scary when there is high winds during my commute in the fall and winter. Car will be swaying side to side even when driving way below the speed limit (say 30 in a 50 MPH zone, or 40 on freeway).
