Neon

The trunk seals leak. Excess water is collected in the spare wheel and surrounding carpet. The carpet begins to grow mold. This is a problem because a lot of people will not realize that there is mold growing in the spare tire section of their trunk. Mold can be toxic and even deadly. I have cleaned this area once, but now I will clean it again to try and kill of all of the mold.

My car is leaking water in to the trunk, spare tire well, under my back seat and the back floors. My mother had the same problem with her Neon. I just spoke to a woman who owns a Neon and she is having the same problem. There has to be a defect somewhere for this many people to have the same problem.

Every time it rains my spare tire well fills with water and the interior has puddles on the floor. My car smells like dirty socks and is growing mold. I am still looking for a solution.
