My vehicle was stationary. My vehicle was parked in the carport for a few weeks. When I can back to the vehicle it was covered in mold. It was all over the dashboard and the seats. I looked online and a lot of consumers were experiencing the same problem. There is a water leak. The spare tire well has a lot of water in it. Gm has a document id number 2198426 describing how to fix this water leak. I feel since a lot of consumers are going through this; then it should be recalled.

Noticed the paint is peeling off the back lift gate. It has continued to peel since. There is no rust. Took it to a dealer and he said he thought there was a recall due to the paint not adhering correctly. It's the only area on the vehicle and it looks terrible. Please let me know if this is covered by gm. Thank you

I was driving my 2007 equinox yesterday when I had to hit the breaks a surge of water came from under my backseat soaking all the carpet. After that I looked in the trunk. The trunk was dry so I lifted it up to check by the spare tire and found a ton of water. My car has had a funky smell for awhile now. I am not sure how long the water has been collecting. But this is a major health issue. I have two small children and I have no idea how long we have been breathing in this mold and mildew. Gm please help with this issue. I have read many other cases here on the internet. This is a manufactures defect!

Extensive water intrusion in the spare tire well. This has been occurring more often in the last year. Approximately 4-5 inches of water is filling following a rain storm.

On 05/05/13 my 7 year old daughter noticed that the backseat floorboards where wet. It's been raining a lot so I shrugged it off without checking. On 05/06/13 I noticed puddling in the front drivers side floorboard. Remembering what my 7 year old had said I looked back to find standing water in the back seat floor boards!!! I researched online and checked the spare tire well as recommended. It had standing water! I called the dealerships service center and they advised me that I would have to pay $265 for a "water leak diagnostic". Then I would have to pay for whatever the issue is because I am not under warranty. I have 2 children and am worried about mold. Not sure how I am going to fix this without bankrupting. I sucked it all out with a wet vac and will continue to work on the carpet every day. Someone help!!
