Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2005 CHEVROLET EQUINOX THAT LEAKS WATER INTO THE SPARE TIRE COMPARTMENT WHENEVER IT RAINS OR VEHICLE GOES THROUGH CAR WASH. I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL GALLONS AND IT SLOSHES AROUND AND SATURATES THE CARPET IN THE BACK FLOORBOARD. GM HAS A BULLETIN 2198426 WHEREAS IT ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT SEALED PROPERLY AT THE FACTORY AND WATER WILL COLLECT IN THE SPARE TIRE COMPARTMENT BUT WILL NOT FIX UNLESS THE CUSTOMER(ME) PAYS. I CAN SMELL THE MOLD AND MILDEW IN MY VEHICLE AND FEEL THIS CAN ONLY BE BAD FOR MY HEALTH BECAUSE WE ARE TALKING ABOUT CONTINUOUS MOLD REGENERATION. I HAVE TALKED TO LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND CALLED GM ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND THEY WANT ME TO PAY TO FIX. I HAVE SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND ALL YEARS BETWEEN 2005 AND 2007 ARE LISTED AND MANY MANY COMPLAINTS. *TR
