CAR LEAKS WATER INSIDE,COMING FROM BOTH A PILLARS .THIS IS WHERE THE CURTAIN AIRBAGS ARE LOCATED. THIS CLEARLY IS A SAFETY CONCERN. I HAVE DONE A LITTLE RESEARCH AND VOLVO OF NORTH AMERICA WHERE SUED IN NJ FOR THIS TYPE OF WATER INTRUSION PROBLEM. THIS OCCURS WHEN IT RAINS AND CAR JUST SITS WHILE PARKED .
