NHTSA Complaint #10794921 — 2010 FORD F-150

I PURCHASED A 2010 FORD F150 XLT ON 31MAY2010. ON 15 APRIL 2015, I NOTICED THAT CONDENSATION WAS ACCUMULATING ON THE INSIDE OF MY WINDSHIELD. SINCE THE WINDSHIELD HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN REPLACE, I ASSUMED THAT IT HAD A LEAK, AND HAD A NEW WINDSHIELD INSTALLED UNDER THE WARRANTY. AGAIN ON THE MORNING OF 4 MAY 2015, WATER WAS ACCUMULATED ON THE INSIDE OF MY WINDSHIELD, AGAIN THE WINDSHIELD WAS REPLACED. ON 2 NOV 2015, THE INSIDE OF MY WINDSHIELD WAS DRIPPING WITH CONDENSATION. I GOT ON THE INTERNET TO SEE IF ANYTHING OTHER THAN A BAD WINDSHIELD WAS CAUSING THE PROBLEM. I LOCATED TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS INDICATING PROBLEMS WITH THE SATELLITE ANTENNA LEAKING AND THE THIRD BREAK LIGHT LEAKING INTO THE CAB OF THE TRUCK. I THEN TOOK MY TRUCK TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALER, JOHNSON BROTHERS FORD WHO CONFIRMED THAT I DID INDEED HAVE A LEAK AT BOTH THE ANTENNA AND BREAK LIGHT, THE TRUCK WHILE ONLY HAVING 31000 MILES, WAS 5 1/2 YEARS OLD, AND OUT OF THE ORIGINAL WARRANTY PERIOD, THE EXTENDED WARRANTY DID NOT COVER THE PROBLEMS EITHER.I WAS QUOTED A COST OF $740. TO REPLACE THE LIGHT AND ANTENNA. I REPLACED THE LIGHT MY SELF, AND THEY CHARGED $440.00 TO REPLACE THE ANTENNA, I INCURRED ANOTHER COST OF $304. TO HAVE THE CARPETS REMOVED DRIED OUT, FLOOR TREATED FOR ANY MILDEW, OR MOLD, AND REINSTALLED. I COMPLAINED TO FORD, THIS IS A DESIGN ISSUE THAT HAS GONE ON SINCE 1998. FORD SHOULD BE FORCED TO DO A RECALL. I ALSO HAD A GALLON OF WATER ON MY FLOOR AFTER THE CARPETS WERE REMOVED. SOMEONE AT THE FACTORY PLACED TAPE OVER THE DRAIN HOLES OF THE FLOOR BOARD WHEN THE TRUCK WAS MADE. WHILE WE DID HAVE A LOT OF RAIN IN TEXAS THIS YEAR, WHICH MAY ACCOUNT FOR THE AMOUNT OF WATER IN THE VEHICLE, IT STILL STANDS TO REASON NO VEHICLE SHOULD BE LEAKING THRU ANTENNAS, OR BREAK LIGHTS. EVEN THE TSB'S DO NOT WORK AS MY ANTENNA HAD SILICONE ON THE ANTENNA FROM THE FACTORY. *TR
