I took this Colorado 4 door vehicle to the dealership yesterday for scheduled "detail" work, and they discovered the cabin carpeting to be saturated with liquid and mold growing on the underside of the carpeting with free flowing "water" under the carpet throughout the entire floor front to back of the cabin. I have not driven the vehicle for several months because I currently am healing from a knee injury, but I noticed yesterday that there was condensation on the inside of the windshield when I drove it to the dealership. Only two dealerships owned the vehicle prior to my purchase of the vehicle from the second dealership owner in 2005, and it has been under good care by me. I was not aware of the wet carpet when I took it for the detail work yesterday; I had a rubber mat under my feet. The vehicle has always had rubber matting front and back. When the dealership reported to me yesterday the wet conditions described above, I researched the internet and discovered that there is documentation related to this issue that has been determined to be a structural defect in the Colorado. Other than this problem, the vehicle is in outstanding condition.

I noticed my floor was soaking wet after a long rain... I checked the windows and doors to make sure they were not left open...my truck leaks somewhere from within. My buddy said it is probably the firewall... now my truck smells like mildew and continues to leak, im afraid it might mold and cause me or my family to get sick. The windows always fog up as a result of the dampness, making it harder to see at night.
