#731370September 13, 2000
STRUCTURE:BODY, LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:TRUNK LID:LOCK, VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD
WATER DEFLECTORS WARPED CAUSING A PUDDLE TO FORM ON BACK FLOOR ON PASSENGER SIDE. WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD TRUNK POPS OPEN FOR NO REASON BUT ONLY IF IT IS RAINING. WINDSHIELD LEAKED CAUSING WATER TO LEAK DOWN BY HOOD RELEASE AND UNDER DASH CAUSING ANOTHER PUDDLE ON FLOOR. I SHOULD ADD DEALER CANNOT FIND ANY REASON FOR TRUNK TO POP OPEN ALTHOUGH IT HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES.
