The contact owns a 2002 Ford F150. The contact stated that the windshield was loose and water was in the vehicle whenever it rained. The water would short out the electrical boxes in the vehicle which had to replaced at his own expense. He took the vehicle to the dealer and was informed that the seal on the windshield caused the defect to occur. The dealer told him that even if he replaced the seal it would not guarantee that it would stop the leak. The manufacturer didn't offer the contact any assistance with the repair cost. The current mileage was approximately 130,000. The failure mileage was approximately 50,000.

I have had the 02' F150 since December 07' and have had major problems with the windshield leaking. I have found that this is a common problem with in the 97' to 03' F150 models via Ford forums and other internet sites as well as the local Ford dealer repair shop who worked on my truck. This leak shorts out the fuse panel in the cab that causes the loss of power to equipment including the windshield wipers which is a safety issue when driving in inclement weather. The leak also tends to short out the instrument panel causing the computer to be unable to read what gear the truck is in. This causes the truck to not start and even shut down while driving which again is a safety issue while driving in any condition. This leak cost me $1500 dollars in repairs due to damage to the starter, relay, alternator, computer, fuse panel, and having to replacing the windshield. I was told by Ford that this leak was not a safety issue and have only issued a special service bulletin! I can not understand how the windshield leak is not a safety issue yet a recall can be issued for fading paint?
