For the past 12 months starting in July 2017, I've had to bring it back 5 times (last week was #5) to the dealer due to flooding inside the front passenger side. Twice I was told it was the body joint seal (bulletin pi1090A), twice I was told my sunroof drains were clogged and once was because the mechanic didn't align my sunroof back correctly.

Please reference nhsta complaint number 10862571,10865740 see attached document that was sent to G.M. this vehicle made my family sick. I had to picket dealership where I bought car, because G.M head quarters closed the case and left me with this toxic vehicle. A lot has happened in my quest to have the car replaced. A GM dealership where I did not buy car from, bought me out of my lease and got me into a new vehicle. I physically picketed dealership I bought car from and others to get my point across. I still have contaminated clothing and the dealership is stuck with this vehicle now, and I still have health concerns about my family. I have called the epa, and other agencies and none of them can help. This vehicle should never get into another individuals possession. I have attached some pictures and files.

Exhaust fumes leaking into driver cabin, horrible toxic odor, family got sick from being inside of vehicle. Stationary, or in motion. Toxic odors and same health effects when not running. Oder on clothing, hair, skin. Immediate adverse health symptoms associated with being in vehicle are headache, chemical taste in mouth, sore throat. I noticed condition 1/22/2016 but it was present prior to this as I do not use vehicle often. My wife and youngest daughter had most exposure and it built up over time, for they were desensitized to the odor. After a few days of not using vehicle my wife did smell the toxic odor. An exhaust leak was the cause and verified by dealer. After repairs were made vehicle still has horrific odor and the same adverse health effects were experienced. Other people who were exposed to vehicle also experienced same health symptoms.
