Consumer Description

WATER LEAK IN PASSENGER SIDE KICK PANEL FORD KNEW OF WATER LEAK ISSUE WHEN VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED. I HAD ABOUT AN INCH OF WATER ON MY PASSENGER FLOORBOARD AFTER A STORM. ALSO REAR BRAKES STICK AFTER USING EMERGENCY BRAKE. IF I EVER HAVE TO USE MY E-BRAKE IN AN EMERGENCY THE REAR WHEELS WILL LOCK UP AND BE EVEN MORE OF A HAZARD AND DANGER. BOTH THESE ISSUES ARE VERY SAFETY RELATED. SEARCHING THE INTERNET YOU WILL FIND LITERALLY HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS WATER LEAK AND E-BRAKE DAMAGE ISSUE. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. I AM CURRENTLY THINKING OF SUING FORD FOR THE WATER LEAK AND THE FACT THAT THE TECHNICIAN AT THE DEALERSHIP ADMITTED THIS IS A KNOWN FORD PROBLEM BUT NOT ENOUGH PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED FOR THEM TO CARE... *TR
