Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The body seam putty on and around the windshield and firewall dries out, then cracks, and allows water to enter the interior of the car. As a result, my front floor pans on the passenger and driver side are rusting as is my firewall. My front carpet is most always wet and musty smelling unless I pull the carpets back after every rain to allow the interior moisture to dry (this happens whether the car is driven in the rain or parked in the rain).”
