Body
My vehicle leaks water at the top of the back windshield. The water runs down the metal body into the spare tire well in the trunk. When i discovered it, there was 10 inches of water in the spare tire well. The body wall is rusting at the top, weakening the body wall and jeopardizing the integrity and safety of the vehicle. There are widespread complaints on the internet about this problem.
