AFTER PERIODS OF RAIN, SNOWMELTING ON THE CAR, OR GOING THROUGH A CAR WASH, WATER ENTERS VIA THE ROOF RACK AREA,POTENTIALLY EXPOSING THE AIRBAGS TO WATER. THE WATER CAUSED STAINING ON THE HEADLINER ALL OVER (A. B, C PILLARS). THE CURTAIN AIRBAGS FOR THE FRONT AND BACK SEAT WERE IN DIRECT CONTACT WITH THE AREA SATURATED BY WATER. I TOOKTHE VEHICLE INTO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED IT, AND THEY REPLACED THE HEADLINER AND ROOF RACK HARDWARE AFTER CONFIRMING THERE WAS A LEAK (3/4/21). AFTER THE REPAIR WAS DONE, A FEW WEEKS PASSED WHERE THERE WAS LITTLE TO NO RAIN TO VERIFY THE LEAKWAS ACTUALLY FIXED. YESTERDAY, (3/26/21) IT RAINED. I WENT TO INSPECT THE HEADLINER, AND THE PASSENGER CURTAIN AIRBAG ON THE A PILLARWAS SURROUNDED BY WETNESS. THIS POSES A RISK TO THE INTEGRITY OF THE AIRBAGS. PLEASE NOTE, NO MODIFICATIONS WERE MADE TO THE CAR- THE ROOF RACKS ARE THE OEM TOYOTA LOW PROFILE (FACTORY INSTALLED). THIS OCCURS (FROM WHAT I CAN TELL) WHEN THE CAR IS STATIONARY. IN THIS CASE, MY DRIVEWAY.

UP TO MARCH 17, 2021 WHEN I WOULD DRIVE BY SIGN WITH A POSTED SPEED LIMIT THE CAR WOULD 'READ' THE SIGN AND DISPLAY THE SPEED ON DASH FOR APPROX. 30 SECONDS THEN THE SPEED LIMIT SIGN WOULD DISAPPEAR. ON MARCH 18, 2021 THINGS CHANGED' 'WHEN I GOT ON INTERSTATE -75 AND PASSED THE SIGN WITH THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT 70MPH THE DIGITAL SIGN ON THE DASHBOARD READ 75 MPH. (PHOTO A) 'A SECOND CHANGE WAS THE DISPLAY DID NOT VANISH AFTER 30 SECONDS BUT REMINED DISPLAYED. 'AS I PASSED SEVERAL OTHER 70MPH SIGNS THE DISPLAY IN THE CAR STILL READ 75MPH. I THEN CANCELLED RADAR TRACKING TO SEE IF THE PROBLEM WOULD GO AWAY AND IT DID NOT (PHOTO B). 'I THOUGHT MAYBE IF I CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP THE 75MPH WOULD DISAPPEAR; IT DID NOT (PHOTO C) 'FINALLY, WHEN I PASSED A POSTED SPEED LIMIT OF 45 MPH THE DASHBOARD SPEED LIMIT UPDATED. (PHOTO D). MY GUESS AS TO WHAT IS GOING ON '. ON THE NIGHT OF MARCH 17, 2021 TOYOTA UPDATED THE SOFTWARE TO ALL CARS, SO THE DASHBOARD SPEED LIMIT SIGN WOULD NOT DISAPPEAR. INADVERTENTLY, TOYOTA SOMEHOW MADE A 2ND UNINTENTIONALLY CHANGE SO THE WHEN THE CAR'S COMPUTER SEES A 70MPH SIGN IT READS IT AS 75MPH.
