OK, have it your way:
"So what haunts this novel is what haunts all of
Pynchon's books. They are there in the dump in Elmira
New York, car bodies piled up like the corpses of
Auschwitz. They are there when men of science and
religion and business experiment on baby Tyrone and
when Slothrop the soldier is injected with Sodium
Amytol."

The sentence structure is vague; I'm assuming you mean
that it's the "the corpses of Auschwitz" that haunt
Pynchon's novels, not "car bodies".
