Fuel delivery module failed, blew egr line and loaded up rear exhaust beyond repair. Car only has 41,000 miles on it. "total care" warranty won't cover all of this.
The car leaks under the dashboard on the passenger side upper left corner. The car has been into the dealer four times in three weeks and is currently there now. They have replaced the casing and sealed it twice. Awaiting news on what will be done this time.
Consumer states that while driving and without warning there is water leaking from the dashboard and this is causing a distraction to the consumer's view. Dealer notified.
