Description of the problem | Substantial amount of moisture collects on the inside of the windshield after a heavy rain. Both the driver's and the passenger's seat track assemblies started to rust as a result. The car smells like mold. Took the car to a ford dealership (in nc where i was stationed at the time) in november 2012 and it was discovered that the drain holes in the right ride door (rear) were never punched out. That was corrected; however, the moisture problem continues. At the nc ford dealership, it was also discovered that the rear hatch window gasket leaks. It was resealed, but not replaced. Took the car to a ma dealership in august 2013 for same leak issue. The gasket needs to be replaced. Why was this not done before in november? A window gasket is supposed to last 5-6 years not less than 3 ! Car is still collecting moisture - problem not solved. |
