Rubber weatherstripping around windshield glass is coming off and hitting the windshield. I had the car inspected by Safelite Auto Glass and they said the windshield needs to come out so they can replace all the surrounding parts that are coming off and they will also have to replace the windshield, since it will probably break when they take it out. It will cost $759.67 to repair. Insurance will only cover it if there is a chip in the windshield the size of a dollar bill. I understand you are already investigating this problem and I need to know if you are going to recall my car before something worse happens. I don't want to have an accident because windshield parts are flying off my car and hitting others.

Three times, we have had to replace the front windshield pillar trim-??twice is flew off during driving on the Interstate. It seems the weatherstripping peels back first and started flapping in the wind, and then the pillar trim rips off.

I recently had a deeply concerning issue occur with my 2013 Ford Explorer. While I was driving on the freeway my passenger side windshield trim flew off my car (No previous damage to the trim, it was not lifting before the incident).... almost hitting the vehicle behind me. In my eyes this should be a safety concern for the company and replaced by the manufacturer for the safety of their consumers (I reached out to Ford corporate, but they said nothing could be done). This is dangerous for the people driving around vehicles having this issue as a large piece of windshield trim can hit their windshield going 60 mph on a freeway or cause someone to swerve to not get hit by a flying object on the freeway. Upon reading up on the issue this is not uncommon so something should be done before someone is harmed.

The seals for the interior of the car fail causing water to leak inside the vehicle and down the back seat belts and pooling in the spare tire area of the trunk. This also causes mildew and mold in the carpeting.

- Lynnwood, WA, USA

My Explorer has been parked for a few days, after opening the passenger side, I noticed that there was a large puddle of water sitting there on the floor linear and on the flooring itself. I checked the moon roof, it was closed, no visible water so that is not possible. I checked the side door and seals, no issues. I noticed that water was from the top part of the passenger side inner footing area coming down so I checked the windshield area. And as assumed, water was creeping in from the windshield area due to bad caulking job/defective engineering causing water (rain/snow, etc) to creep in and soil the electrical area and the flooring.

- Silver Spring, MD, USA

Water leaking in through 3rd row driver side seatbelt, leaks down to powerfold electrical wiring, and accumulates under seat/carpet and into spare tire well. The water coming into contact with the electrical wiring can cause great harm to NY children who sit back there. The water on carpet causes mold and mildew which is a hazard to out health. The water in spare tire well can cause rust and subsequent exhaust fumes to enter into cabin.

The driver car door latch broke off and driver door doesn't close properly. The door flys open while in motion especially on turns and I have to hold it closed with one hand while trying to drive with my only other hand. Cannot get in or out of the vehicle! I have to climb in through the passenger or back seat to push the door fully open so I can get in to drive. The door ajar light stays on and the door can open while in motion. Ford said the recall has expired 7/2020 and refuses to fix my car door handle, very dangerous situation I want to sell this vehicle and the new owner will then be in danger however Ford refuses to cover this defect with their door handles that already had a recall on it. Please help me make others aware of this dangerous situation and any new car owners who will have the same issue. This is a known issue with this year Ford Explorer and they refuse to fix it and cover the expense to fix when it was part of a recall that 'expired'. I'm scared I may fly out of the door while driving and get hurt or run over by another vehicle because this door won't close securely.
