Spare tire cavity was full of water. This caused the spare to be rusted as well as the floor under the tire and the jack. I have never had to use the spare so I dont know how long the water has been there. From the amount that was in there, I would say it has collected every rain drop since I have had the car. This caused me to have my car towed instead of being able to use the spare. This could have been very bad if I had been in a rural area or if I had no car phone. If there's anything you can do, please let me know. A rear taillight was replaced under warranty when I first got the car due to water intrusion. Maybe this is what caused the problem.
