The sunroof leaks water from the dash the rear causing the ceiling to be soaked and malfunctioning of sunroof water leaked on floor of the whole car cans side rear views causes the dash electrical system to go out motor blowers is filling up with water so AC/ heater can not defrost car so visibility to drive car it is unsafe and can cause an accident and very expensive to constantly replace a blower that will constant fill up with water to to sunroof drainage constantly clotting and won't drain and floors flooding eventually this will cause corrosion or fire being water and electricity don't mix well I have 3 children I don't feel we are safe in our vehicle this is our only form of transportation the speakers go in and out due to the water leaked and soon come winter car will not be able to leaky drive being motor blowers will not be able to constantly be purchased due to going out because water back up and leaked and the car becomes drenched in water via seats and floor drive seat is electrical eventually water will cause a problem I just want my kids safe and secure in a vehicle and as I read previous problem some have experienced the same issues I'm going through as of right now. The car can be stationary or in motion water just leaks from ceiling on floor floor is wet as I drive I can hear water on ceiling moving around some water even run accross windshield while I'm driving a lot. Some runs on my leg while I'm driving where the brake pads and gas pedal are which have wires there that are electrical on top of the floors being soaked that's a fire hazard

Water leak from sunroof

Takata recall....water leaks into the car behind kicker panel on passenger side going directly into the fuse/relay box. It leaks in all door jams and the rear liftgate area. I have problems with my car not shifting. Throwing code p2723 which is transmisson pressure control shift solenoid e. I believe its due to water getting into the fuse box because there is a constant drain on my battery and when testing the fuses with a test light not all of them seem to be getting a good connection due to all the corrosion. Also sunroof leaks. All door circuits get wet. I have to dry evrything out before I can start it. The carpet smells and its full of rust. Common sense would tell you that this cannot be good from any aspect. Im to the point to going up to gm and making them look really bad because this is unacceptable. I cannot believe with so many common problems there is yet to be a recall. I hate gm and never will I ever purchase any gm product nor will I have anything good to say about gm. When all this occured my car was outside either in my driveway or a parking lot or driving down the road. I havr to cover the car up. The entire car. I bought the car sometime last year. I noticed this was happening about 4-5 months after purchase. Ive tried fixing it myself and I just fail everytime and its ridiculous.

Issues with my outlook alternator caught engine on fire, electrical issues with stabilizer/tracking controls, windows/mirror and mainly check engine light comes on while driving and transmission slips into low or 2nd gear.

Water leaks through sunroof, front window glass, under dash on feet of driver and passenger; water leaks via dvd system while driving and stationary. Alternator caught on fire while driving and I coasted into a driveway and lifted hood the flames started, fire dept. Contacted immediately to put out. Damage to vehicle wires, tubes, etc under hood. Passenger side front window and mirror will not push out of roll down due to electrical issue driving and stationary. Recall on struts for auto lift gate, but real issue is module to lift liftgate was a fee to be repaired. What did recall cover with lift gate? These issues happen no stop since 2012 when vehicle was purchased used. I drove on interstate and and check engine light came on, transmission went to low gear and I almost was hit because vehicle jerked when this happened and power/speed instantly dropped.

Upon raining very hard water leaks into the cabin of the SUV via behind the emergency break,airbag ports and from under the glove box onto the floorboards. My vehicle stays on when the key is out of the ignition. There needs to be a recall on this asap. The water leaks in while driving in the rain as well as if the vehicle is sitting outside while its raining.

We kept getting a service airbag warning, took it to a saturn certified mechanic and he said the passenger sensor in the seat is bad and could prevent the airbag from inflating in the event of an impact. Wondering why since he said this is a known problem that there hasn't been a recall. Also, the auxiliary amplifier went bad... He thinks this is from a leak, and the way the wiring harness was done apparently water gets into it and shorts the amp. Another known problem he said... Unfortunately, all warning/safety chimes do not sound because of this and all the speakers don't work except for the front tweeters.

Sporadically, water leaks from the ceiling air vents/rear view camera/ a-braces/ airbag covers and basically any other place water can come out of. I have had it to the gmc dealer 2x to look for the issue but they cannot replicate. In viewing information online (specifically edmonds.com) it appears that this has been a well known problem since the auto was manufactured - I am just lucky that mine has been sporadic. It has not effected components of the vehicle yet, but if it keeps happening I have little doubt that there will be issues - parts corroding, electrical issues, etc. As mentioned earlier, it baffles me that there are 18 pages of identical complaints, yet the manufacturer has never been made to do anything about it - an idiot can tell that there has to be some manufacturer defect to have that # of occurences. I really don't expect anything to come of my issue, but wanted to document what has happened in case there are more serious issues later such as an accident caused by equipment failure due to water damage - it is only a matter of time before this defect causes serious harm to someone.
