Water leak in the spare tire tub of 2006 Pontiac...

[Pearl White King]

...Torrent? I purchased a 2006 Pontiac Torrent about a week ago with only 12,000 miles on it. I just discovered that there was aprox 2" of water in the spare tire tub. There is no apparent leak anywhere in the interior. The rear hatch seal seems in tact and none of the carpet appeard to have been wet. All I can do at this point is to vacuum it out and wait for it to happen again. Can anyone shed some light on this from similar experiences?

If the spare tire compartment does not adequate ventilation, moisture will build over a period of time. Provide a bleed hole, angled toward the rear of the tire well pan making sure that the tire does not cover the bleed hole when the spare tire is re-secured.

One word WARRANTY don't wast your time looking for answers on hear their is no reason why a new car like that should have that problem. I would beet money on it that the car was in an accident.
