WHILE CLEANING VEHICLE INTERIOR ON 10/07/2001, I LIFTED THE REAR SEATS UP TO CLEAN UNDER THEM. SOME TIRE CHANGING EQUIPMENT AND A VINYL TOOL BAG ARE STORED, AS ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT, UNDER THE LEFT REAR SEAT. I LIFTED THE VINYL BAG TO CLEAN UNDER IT AND DISCOVERED THAT THE FLOOR WAS RUSTED THROUGH UNDER THE BAG (OVER 6 INCHES) AND EXPOSING THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE TO EXHAUST FUMES AND THE DRIVER AND THE PASSENGERS TO CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING. I WOULD NEVER HAVE DISCOVERED THIS PROBLEN IF I HAD NOT LIFTED THE VINYL TOOL BAG.*AK
