I started noticing that water was soaking the floor mat on the drivers side of the car after it rained or i went through a car wash. I took the car to a repair shop and they notified me that the bottom of the car is not welded properly from the manufacturer, so the space where it should have been welded together has left holes on both sides of the bottom of the car. These holes provide an area where water leaks into…

Vehicle is 5 years old and there is rust on the inside lower door hem on three of the 4 doors. It has always been housed in a garage in the evenings and washed with relative frequency. Gm has issued a notice to fix this issue but for vehicles housed in canada only not in the us. It is obvious this is a design flaw that gm is correcting in canada but not the us.

Gm, used a felt like material on the 2010 equinox between the front fender and the fire wall for sound deadening . I have checked out their new models and they are using it on all of them now [trucks,cars,suvs]. The problem is that this material stays wet, collects salt, mud, etc. As we drive on roads where salt is used in the us and canada i have removed on the passenger side so far. The fire wall and fender both…
