Consumer Description

FOR A WHILE NOW I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING AFTER RAIN - WATER FLOWING THROUGH THE PASSENGER SIDE FIREWALL AND ALONG THE PASSENGER SIDE KICK BOARD WHERE THE SMART CONJUNCTION BOX (FUSE BOX) IS. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO A FORD DEALER WHO SAID HE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT AND WOULD BE $95.00 TO START LOOKING IN TO WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. THIS PAST SATURDAY, I PARKED MY VEHICLE THE KEY WAS STUCK IN THE IGNITION AND THE CAR WILL NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK. AFTER SEARCHING ONLINE IT SEEMS THIS ISSUE CAN BE DIRECTLY RELATED TO WATER DAMAGE. WATER SEEPING IN TO THE FUSE BOX. I ALSO FOUND ONLINE WHERE THERE ARE A NUMBER OF MODEL YEARS THAT HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE. NOW I AM GOING TO BE STUCK WITH A GIGANTIC REPAIR BILL FOR A DESIGN FLAW THAT FORD KNOWS ABOUT AND COULD OF ISSUED A RECALL FOR.
