Consumer Description

IN LATE JUNE I STARTED TO NOTICE A MUSTY SMELL EVERY TIME I ENTERED MY CAR. HOWEVER AFTER SEARCHING FOR THE SOURCE I COULD FIND NOTHING AS THE SMELL CONTINUED TO LINGURE AND BECOME WORSE. THEN WHEN CLEANING OUT THE VEHICLE FOR VACATION I DISCOVERED A BUILDUP OF WATER IN THE SPARE TIRE COMPARTMENT, THE PADDING BETWEEN THE BODY AND TIRE WAS COMPLETELY SATURATED WITH WATER. I HAVE NO IDEA HOW THIS OCCURRED BUT QUICKLY TURNED TO THE INTERNET TO SEARCH FOR A RECALL, ONLY TO FIND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM WITH NO ANSWER AS TO HOW TO STOP THE ISSUE. *TR
