problem #10

F-150 Lariat 4x4 5.4L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 18,800 miles

A month after buying this good looking low mileage truck from my neighbor, I started noticing the carpet is wet after it rains.

Took it to Ford and they think it's coming from the 3rd brake light over the back window. Est repair is $400. No thanks! I guess I'll try to seal it one of these days when I am bored- which is never.

That's why I don't buy American trash. My parents bought only USA and we were constantly taking them to the shop. I am too busy to spend more good money on an over-priced F-150 to then forfeit time & more cash to fix stuff that should be reliable since we paid a steep PREMIUM for their "quality."

Guess I should stick to 5 yr old Toyota Corolla and live complaint free.

We live in Florida. At the end of the summer season it rains EVERY day! We are driving down the highway and a particularly bad rainstorm hits. And the kids start complaining that they are getting wet. the slider window in the back of the truck is steadily dripping water, a LOT of water!!!

F-150 Super Crew V8 Tritan 5.4L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 88,000 miles

On Sat. my husband and I were driving through a severe thunderstorm and just happened to notice that the middle back seat was soaked. With further investigation we realized that the water was coming in around the seal of the back sliding glass window.

While attempting to look up a solution online to fix this problem, (Which is going to cost us anywhere from $200-$500) I have found over 100 other people with the exact same problem. But according to not only all those people but the Ford Motor Company too, this particular default is not covered under any manufacturers warranty or any dealer replacements deals.But like I stated this is a extremely common issue. So my question is what the hell is their problem?? Without us as customers they wouldn't have a dime and now they are refusing to even acknowledge that there is a problem. This will be the absolute last Ford vehicle I own. If anyone else happens to know a way to get anywhere with Ford then please pass it along!!
