Consumer Description

MY COMPLAINT IS FOR A POTENTIAL PROBLEM. I HAVE A 2003 FORD WINDSTAR THAT HAS A WATER LEAK IN THE ROOF BODY SEAMS. I TOOK IT TO A DEALER ON 5/19 WHO HAD A SPECIALIST COME IN TO LOOK AT IT. THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T DO IT AND SUGGESTED TAKING IT TO A BODY SHOP. I DON'T THINK BODY SEAMS LEAKING IS NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR AND I'M AFRAID THAT IF I'M IN AN ACCIDENT, THERE COULD BE DEADLY CONSEQUENCES DUE TO THE STRUCTURAL DEFECT. FORD IS NOT BEING HELPFUL AT ALL. I'M A SINGLE MOM WITH NO MONEY, BUT I GUESS I HAVE TO TAKE IT TO ANOTHER DEALER THAT HAS A BODY SHOP AND HAVE THEM TEAR IT UP. HELP. THE CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT AND I BOUGHT IT NEW. IT TOOK A WHILE FOR ME TO FIGURE IT OUT BECAUSE THE WATER THAT COMES IN GOES RIGHT INTO THE HATCHBACK/TRUNK CARPET. I KEPT THINKING THAT MY KIDS SPILLED SOMETHING OR I LEFT THE WINDOW CRACKED, TRYING TO GIVE FORD THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT. I DON'T HAVE TIME TO BE BRINGING MY CAR IN. ANY OTHER COMPLAINTS? *TR
