I am experiencing serious water leaks in my 2005 Chevrolet Equinox awd lt. Whenever it rains, water accumulates in the spare tire well and overflows onto the floor under the rear seats. It also creates a disturbing short out of the speaker system. The carpet smells and I am very concerned about mold, as well as fire from the electrical shorting out. Another issue is that it causes the windows to fog up, especially when I run the heater to try to dry it out.
The hydraulic pumps that hold the back hatch open(up) on my Equinox just quit working with out any warning . The hatch is so heavy I can't use it there is no safe way of holding up the hatch to put anything into the back of the car. I'm looking into buying a new set ,one for both sides of the vehicle . If I find them I will keep the old ones. ,until I hear otherwise . . If I attempt to open the hatch, its slams down very hard because the hatch itself is so heavy . If a child happen to be near the hatch when it goes down they could be hurt very badly as could an adult. I no long can open the hatch as its too heavy to lift .

I am experiencing an extremely strong mildew smell inside my Equinox. It is so strong people comment outside the car. The smell also penetrates clothing so that others notice the smell. People will not ride in my car. I have had it to the dealer twice. Both times the odor improves slightly (they depdorize the hvac) but still others comment. I am concerned about driving my 3 year old b/c of the smell. We have found no visible wetness or mold. The rubber around two windows was loose but the dealer did not find water inside the door. The smell does not seem to be coming from the vents but mores so just from the car.
