NHTSA Complaint #11056586 — 2015 FORD EDGE

I STARTED SEEING WATER ON THE DRIVERS SIDE FLOOR OF THE CAR IN NOVEMBER 2017 AFTER ABOUT A WEEK OF RAIN AND AFTER THE CAR WAS SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS. THERE WAS ABOUT AN INCH OF WATER ON THE FLOOR AND WATER SHOOTING OUT OF THE VENT UNDER THE DRIVERS SEAT WHEN THE HEAT IS TURNED ON. ALL OF THE WINDOWS ON THE INSIDE OF THE CAR ARE SO WET & FOGGGED UP THEY JUST DRIP. AFTER GOOGLING 2015 FORD EDGE WATER LEAKS ABOUT 20 + ARTICLES POPPED ABOUT FORD ISSUING A STOP SALE ON SOME 2015 FORD EDGE MODELS MADE BEFORE APRIL 28TH 2015 FOR WATER LEAKS THAT CAUSE CORROSION, MOLDING, AND ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. MY CAR WAS MADE APRIL 8 2015. I TALKED TO FORD AND SINCE IT WASNT AN ACTUAL RECALL THEY WONT ADDRESS IT. I TALKED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO THEN TOLD ME SINCE IT OUT OF WARRANTY & THERE WASNT AN ACTUAL RECALL THAT THEY WONT EITHER. AFTER ABOUT A WEEK OF GOING BACK AND FORTH WITH BICKFORD FORD THEY DECIDED TO LOOK AT IT. I BROUGHT IT IN ON DECEMEBER 18 2017 AND THEY CONTRACTED IT OUT TO A COMPANY CALLED HOGLUNDS IN EVERETT WASHINGTON. ON DECEMEBER 20 2017 BICKFORD CALLED AND TOLD ME THEY DIAGNOSED THE ISSUE,THAT IT WAS INDEED A WATER LEAK IN THE FRAME OF THE CAR AND THAT THEY WERE GOING TO HAVE IT FIXED. ON DECEMEBER 22 2017 BICKFORD CALLED AND SAID THAT IT WAS FIXED AND READY TO PICK UP. WHEN I WENT TO PICK IT UP. THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY HAD WASHED IT AND HANDED ME THEY KEYS. WHEN I GOT IN THE CAR THE FLOOR WAS MORE WET THAT IT EVER HAD BEEN BEFORE BECAUSE IT WAS WASHED AND THE WINDOWS WERE FOGGED UP. AFTER ASKING WHY IT WAS STILL WET THEY TOLD ME IT WASNT THEIR RESPONSIBLITY TO CLEAN UP THE WATER AND THEY WERE JUST GOING TO FIX THE LEAK. I THEN CALLED HOGLUNDS AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE IS A HOLE IN THE FACTORY SEAM OF THE CAR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE ABOVE THE FENDER THAT CANNOT BE ACCESSED WITHOUT 30-40 HOURS OF LABOR. SO THEY HADNT ACTUALLY DONE ANYTHING WITH THE CAR.
