The seal around the trunk lid is leaking. There was a large puddle in my trunk from rain water, it leaked underneath into the spare tire holding area, then into the back seats and carpet in the car. The water could not be completely removed, and there is mold in the car now. Mold is a health hazard. The seal is faulty.

The seal around the trunk of the vehicle leaked, creating a molding smell around the trunk and rear seating of the vehicle. Also, the buckle of the seat belt was defective. The latch will not stay in the buckle. The consumer was told that the seat belt was not under warranty, and wanted the consumer to pay for the seat belt to be repaired. (the buckle had come out of the inner seat) the consumer felt that the damage was due to water and mold damage.
