"roof drain leak"

Anonymous, NJ (2013 Infiniti G X 3.7-L V6)

""In the past two years I have had issues with the brakes squeaking, like a sensor telling you that you need new brakes. But TWICE I have brought the car to a dealer and they have told me how much life is left in the brakes (plenty) and that I do NOT yet need new brakes. The brakes function perfectly. It squeaks loudly, daily, but not every time that I am braking. Mostly at lower speeds around the neighborhood. Other than the brakes squeaking, I LOVE this car, even after a decade and 74,000 miles.""
