I opened the back to put groceries in and water came pouring out of the grab handle when the hatch was fully raised. The latch also appeared to be wet. I wasn’t able to catch the water pouring out on video but you can see how wet the area is.

I took it into the dealer and they said they need about three days to diagnose the problem. We’ve had the car three months and it has about 2600 miles. Anyone else had this issue?

thanks!

This has been a problem for a number of owners everywhere, not me (so far). There have been numerous threads about it. Not quite sure what the remedy is as I haven't noticed anyone posting to say how it was cured.

Hi there! Would you send us a private message with your VIN and dealership name and location? I’d like to look into this concern on my end.

After 8 days at the dealership we got the car back today. Unfortunately I wasn’t there myself but my wife said they told her they replaced some grommets around the tail lights. He did say this was a common problem so I don’t understand why it took so long to fix. In any case, we will keep our eyes open for anymore leaks. Super happy to have our car back!

I hope I’ll have better luck when I bring mine in.
