The contact owns a 2014 Subaru Outback. During a rainstorm, water entered the vehicle through the sun roof and drenched the cabin. The failure caused $1,769 worth of damage. The failure occurred because a drain tube on the sun roof became clogged and caused the water to back up and enter the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to chatham parkway Subaru (7 park of commerce way, savannah, ga 31405, (888) 430-0231) where it was determined that the drains were clogged. The dealer cleaned the drains, replaced the carpet, and replaced the amplifier at the contact's expense. The manufacturer was not notified. The contact stated that the failure was missed during an earlier service visit with the dealer that could have prevented the failure. The failure mileage was 89,904.
