Consumer Description

Opened my trunk two days ago and the carpet on the driver side was soaked, as well as the carpeted panel that covers the spare tire. The panel is warped and moldy. I removed my spare tire, to find that my jack was completely rusted out, along with a pool of water in the bottom of my trunk. I then put my back seats down and could see the metal beneath them was also rusted out. Apparently, it’s been leaking for some time. I then proceeded to clean the rest of my car out, and found my rear and front driver side floor boards were also soaked. I do not know where any of the water is coming from but I believe it’s causing electrical components to fail in my vehicle, such as: Doors won’t lock or unlock using the lock switch inside the car Driver door won’t look or unlock using switch inside car or remote Power mirrors only move up and down, not side to side Half of the controls on radio don’t work and it doesn’t display all the info that should be available Radio does not turn off after turning off ignition and opening driver door and removing key Power outlets stay on after car is off
