Trunk leaking badly in rain, caused mold to grow in the car with a very bad odor.
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. *ak (the buckle had come out of the inner seat) the consumer felt that the damage was due to water and mold damage. *sc
I have a 2001 dodge neon, with a water leak problem. The car has always stood uncovered in the rain and snow, and never before has had any water leaked in. And yes, the windows and doors were closed. The water has come in from somewhere above the brake pedal. The puddle was on the driver side floor. There were traces of water on the brake pedal. I thought purchasing an extended daimler chrysler warranty would be a good form of protection, since chrysler's are known to be inferior vehicles. The reason I bought the car was because it's all I could afford at the time. I regret it now and curse the manufacturer for not backing up their products or warranties. The warranty doesn't cover water leaks and the dealer wants $100.00 to determine the problem area. Don't buy a neon.
