Since 2023, my vehicle has had water leakage coming from the back right passenger side from the seat belt opening and right side of the back trunk. This is a major concern because my son-??s car seat is seated on the right back seat where the water leakage is coming from. I don-??t want any mold to grow under his car seat or on his car seat. Also I gave jumper cables in the back of my trunk for safety. What if they were to get soak and wet then they are not able to work. Also I put my groceries in the trunk of my car. I don-??t want them to get spoiled or become contaminated.

The vehicle was involved in a rear-end and front end collision, the vehicle was stationary at a red light with another vehicle in front. The vehicle behind me rear-ended the Jeep Compass at approx 50 mph pushing me into the vehicle in front of the Jeep Compass. No airbags deployed and the vehicle's seat belts failed to lock causing myself to hit the steering wheel.
