| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Water was noticed in the floor board on passenger side. a few days later, 2/20/2007, my blower motor went out. i called local ford dealership and was told to bring it in. turned out to be a well known water leak problem stemming from a design defect leaks at the base of the windshield. it allows water to get into the blower motor and the rest is history. i paid $324 for the repairs and the replacement cowl still bows so the water can continue to enter with the same results. i returned my car this morning 2 23 07, (the day after picked it up in the dark) to express my dissatisfaction and was told to come back monday. how can a car manufacturer of 100 years not know what it is going to leak...at the base of the windshield??!! ford needs to correct this problem. thanks. *jb |
