Definitely a problem! The passenger floor gets soaked and looks like it trickles in from the side of the glove box. Nothing inside the box gets wet, just the carpet and floor on the right side. You have to suck up all the water quickly out of the mats/carpet. My husband tried researching this problem and apparently it happens from the sunroof drains becoming blocked. There are multiple drains that can't be seen but he blindly tried blowing air from a compressor all around the sunroof and the past several times it rained I have NOT had any water come in. I was ready to get rid of the car over this issue!

Ran through car wash and discovered the sunroof leaking. Just bought this car and can not afford to fix all the problems that have showed up. It is very depressing that I owe money for a crappy car.

This is the third time we've had this vehivle in to be repaired for this problem. It's obviously a design flaw.
