Consumer Description
The roof metal is defective. I brought my car to the dealership because the rain was pouring in all around the inside of the vehicle coming from the roof, they misdiagnosed it as rodent damage to the sun roof drainage tubes. I had another mechanic look at it who found that the water was coming through the roof rack. He was able to see inside of the car through the roof metal. Doing a bit of research, I found this is a common problem with these cars and/or Ford roof metal. There is in an open lawsuit from the collapse of a roof that resulted in the death of a couple. I drive with my 2 little children and I’m very concerned about the safety of my car and other Ford vehicle owners.
