I had my car park in the front yard. It rain on that date until the next morning. When I got into my car I notice on the front passenger side up under the dashboard that it was soak and wet from the rain that we got. I didn't leave any windows down. The only way the water could of got in is through a leak in the lining around the windshield. I never had it replace before. I don't understand how a car that you don't hardly rive could get flooded. I keep it covered up. Its just that 1 particular day I left it uncovered overnight and it get rain it. I know the lining or insulation should hold up longer than 4 yrs? that is I consider a defect.

The front chrome interior door handles on my 2011 Chevy Cruze that I purchased is peeling off. The edges of the chrome are extremely sharp. Both my wife and I have cut our fingers on both front door handles while exiting the vehicle. It is no paper cut either. Pretty deep and painful. I ended up placing tape around the handles as a quick fix from being cut. When I contacted the dealership, I was told it would be $150 for a new handle and that it did not include instillation. After reading numerous complaints online and observing a copy of a letter from Chevrolet admitting there is a defect in the handles, I wonder why there has not been a recall as of yet on this issue.
