Consumer states that she and husband have been everywhere to try to get help for 2002, Dodge, Dakota pick. Truck fills up with water, and no one can find out where the water is coming from. Consummer states that they had windows/seals/vents, and whole truck gutted out a number of times, but the problem was still there. Truck has been serviced 9 times, 6 of those times for water damage.
