DUE TO A ENGINEERING FAULT WATER IS A GETTING INTO THE AIR INTAKE AND SOAKING THE BOTTOM OF THE AIR INTAKE WHERE ITS DETERIORATING THE FILTER AND ALSO ENDANGERING THE ENGINE OF SUCKING UP WATER AND HYDROLOCKING. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND HAS CAUSED OTHER VEHICLES OF THIS MAKE AND MODEL TO LOCK UP AND DISABLE THE ENGINE. IT IS NOT DUE TO DRIVING THROUGH WATER BUT SIMPLY FAULTY ENGINEERING THAT ALLOWS WATER TO FLOW FROM THE FRONT OF THE CAR DOWN INTO THE AIR INTAKE.
