EXTREME WINDSHIELD LEAK HAVE TRIED TO GET FORD TO FIX. THEY REFFED ME BACK TO THE DEALER. LEAK ALL DOWN THE FRONT AROUND THE ROOF. WATER LITERALLY POURS IN AND I CAN NOT DRIVE ON A RAINY DAY. HAVE TO CAR MAX DEALER TWICE AND THEY STILL
1/2 OF THE WINDSHIELD SEAL FAILED LEAVING THE WINDSHIELD UNATTACHED TO THE VEHICLE. I NOTICED IT WAS LOOSE WHEN CLEANING THE INSIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD. THE NEXT MORNING I WENT TO A GLASS REPAIR SHOP. THE MANAGER SAID NOT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AROUND DUE TO SAFETY ISSUES AND TAKE IT TO THE DEALER BECAUSE THE SEAL SHOULD NOT HAVE FAILED WITHIN 3 YEARS. THE SERVICE MANAGER WANTED ME TO CONTINUE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AROUND UNTIL THEY HAD AN OPENING IN APPOINTMENTS. I WAS AFRAID TO DRIVE IT WITH ONLY 1/2 OF THE WINDSHIELD SEAL INTACT. THEREFORE I LEFT IT AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS. I AM AWAITING RESOLUTION TO THIS SAFETY ISSUE.
