Trunk leaks when it rains. The plastic between the back window and ceiling lets water in when it rains. It allows moisture to get into the vehicle, which means in the winter ice forms on the inside of the windshield as well as the outside. Rain and moisture getting into the car has also caused a problem with the back speakers not working.

My vehicle had stand still water in my trunk, the water seeped through to the interior damaging the rear seats, water covered the floor, there are stains on the roof and the smell of aged water is throughout the entire vehicle. My vehicle was parked and unoccupied, the trunk was closed and the windows were up as normal as my vehicle was parked for the night.

When stopped at a stop light an electric motor kicks in for about 30 second and then the engine motor restarts making the car what to jump forward. If the driver has only a light foot on the break petal he/she could hit the car in front. I have notified both me dealer and gm as i believe this to be a safety issue in it design. It happens every time i drive and have to stop at a light and wait for about 30 seconds
