FORD: FULL OF RAIN DROPS... lots of them! Due to faulty manufacturer seal of sunroof (which I never used), I noticed rust forming on perimeter. Took it to Ford dealer where I bought the car, showed that I had the extended warranty for rustproofing and it had just lapsed ( of course) and basically the apologized that they were unable to help me. Now it's grown in size, where anyone that dares sit on the right front passenger seat will get a shower. I went to an auto shop and they said they wouldn't even tackle the job. So my option now is to blast FORD on social media, put signs on the car to say what a piece of crap it is, keep the door unlocked so homeless folks can have a private shower, or perhaps steal it...

There's now mold and it's probably unsafe to even drive. The air conditioning died a few years ago, so guess my option now is to drive it until it dies or until the roof collapses in on me, at which time I'll sue FORD! Found on Road Dead, yeah, now I get it...

water leaking into vehicle interior

I brought my car into the Ford dealership twice to complain about moisture being inside my car. Both times they couldn't find anything. I was told the moisture is a result of my getting in the car with wet shoes. Yes, he said that with a straight face. I wonder if he would have said that to a male. He continued to instruct me to drive with either the a/c or defrost on.

This has been a terrible issue in the cold mornings, my windshield needs scraping on the INSIDE (ice).

As you can see by the attached picture... the problem is deeper than wet shoes. I discovered this leak yesterday morning, after Seattle had a good rain. The attached picture is from the passenger back seat coat hook.

I wonder how much damaged has been done, to have water pooled up that high to leak from the coat hook.

Escape LXT 3.2L V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 39,768 miles

Last year my son bought this car but it was too much for him, so i had to put it in my name. This year i took the car in for bearings at the dealership and ask them to check them as well as to check the window seals around the windows. They came back and said repairs were not covered by warranty because it has 91000km. I understand, but it year of the vehicle is 2010, Ford knows the problem about the seals but they wont recall it. I called the head office and they said they wont fix problem! Do you think that's right? I don't think so

Took the vehicle through the car wash and the passenger front, behind glove compartment water started running onto the floor. The dealership kept my vehicle for 9 business days to fix the leak. They said the antenna had never been sealed.
