Is anyone having problems with Ford F150 leaking water in cab
This is the last F150 I will buy.
Truck 1 yr 9 months old and when it rains my plastic huskey liner floor pans fill up with 2" of water and my carpet soaked. During one storm the water was over flowing from my huskey liner on the carpet. It wasn't a drip it was a flow of water from under my dash. Thought it was the AC condensor so took it to the Robinson Brothers Ford where I bought the truck. Found out not covered under warranty. Ford told me tuff luck even though the seal defective it and it is their fault the seal doesn't fall under the Ford warranty. I asked does it fall under my Ford Extended Service Plan they said, No! :pissed: Ended up filing a claim with State Farm and they are fixing the damage. After 4 Fords in 14 years I am done buying F150's. Ready to buy a new truck in 3 months and it will be a Dodge Ram with Hemi. |
You have trees at home don't you. That "screen" below your windsheild has drains on either side. They're clogged. They run just to the inside of the fenders.

Sucks Ford is screwing with you
|
Claim it and wait for a dry day and trade it in. Let the next dealer have the headache. That ins check may make a nice down payment!:D
Or, bring it to me!:D |
Could be the windshield leaking. Take it to a glass shop. If its , they can cut it out and re-urethane it
|
Its not weather or tree junk. They found the problem its a seal that just was bad has nothing to do with windshield its in another spot. The seal was bad, but not written in their new vehicle or Ford Extended Warranty. Robinson Brothers running away saying well its a seal and they go bad. I guess Ford not made to last more than 1 yr before they start leaking. Ford excuse is that seals break and since its a body issue they will not cover it. They charged me $484.00 to replace the seal and state farm 100% on the interior flood damage. So much for Ford standing behind their trucks.
One trip to Lafayette my wives feet got wetter in the truck than walking from the parking lot at Academy on Ambassador into the store. Like I told the guy I am driving a Dodge Ram 4-door with a Hemi for a rental and I am really impressed with the truck. Rides 110% better than my 2009 Ford. In three months my payoff will be enough to trade it in on a Dodge Ram. |

State Farm doing well taking care of me.
They understand and agree that this sounds fishey like Fords walking away from their problem. They got their procedures to go through. Personally I feel Ford should cover it. The dealer admitted its a bad seal. Sad part is I am not the only one probably with a bad seal. Ford is refusing to cover it due to not in the language of their warranty. Not worth fighting. I am just going to try Dodge Ram and in 2 to 3 years if they take care of me then I will buy another one. Ford likes to sell trucks, but their service is horriable. |
im suprised , i bought a few trucks from robinson brothers they ave always bent over backwards for me . i drove this last truck for a week b4 i realized i forgot to give them the check for it!!!

Bought my king ranch from Robinson bros. Andy Perrino was the salesman. Great service when I bought mine. You wanna make them boys jump, report them to the BBB. Had a nightmare of a time with bohn. Bought my wife a new Acadia and within 3 weeks in was in the shop 4 times for a sun roof leak and engine problems. They wouldn't do anything. A friend of mine is a GM of a dealership, he said report them. I did and within a day the company that owns bohn bros was calling me.

My 05 Ford leaks around the 3rd brake light . Had to seal it up with silicone .
|
Mine would get water under the back seats. There was some bolt that broke off and water spray would come up & soak into the carpet. Has carpet ripped out and redone. Ford covers it bc the bolt broke off.
Also my gas tank hose connection broke and I was leaking gas for 2 weeks. It only leaked when i was driving and fuel was being pumped to engine. I didn't realize there was a leak until it went to the shop for an oil change and it was leaking on the guys under the truck ...... Took it to bill hood in Hammond ..... Wouldn't cover it. Got it fixed 400$..... 3 days later got rear ended and tank had a puncture hole in it. Insurance fixed truck & tank. Ended up trading truck soon after. Now ford is issuing a recall on ford f150 fuel tanks..... Go figure. |
Wes was my salesman.
My service has been horrible with Robinson brothers. Air sensors on my tires went out Chad lambert service writer said it was not covered and cost $275 ea to replace. Called ford and it was covered. Next week another tire pressure has same issue with Chad. Had to call ford again and they had no issue in fixing it. I have dealt with David monk for years at Allstar ford and he was great. They even beat tire stores on tires. Robinson brothers once wes sold me the truck it was good luck not our problem. Not worth the aggravation of paying 30,000 for a truck that smells moldy, carpet wet, have to get out in the rain to drain floor pan, and ford/ Robinson brothers walks away from it and truck not even 2 years old. That not good service to me. |
It's NOT a wear and tear item. I have no idea why they would not cover under warranty. You need me to send The Iron Man over there to speak to some knee caps?

For a 1/2 ton get CHEVY Silverdao......Dodge will go out at 75K miles and well Ford is still Ford! I laugh when people say I am not getting a Chevy since OBAMA had to bail them out. Well if that is case, I guess none these same people got bank loans when Bush had to bail the banks/wall street out! BTW, I am not an OBAMA fan!

Ford said not their problem even though the seal bad due to not written in warranty not mechanical. Jack new car sales manager said it's a ford what do you expect they break. It's a seal and they go what do you expect? I said for ford to build a truck that last 3 years He laughed. It's not funny to me I would run from Robinson brothers they act like oh well it's my problem. Funny in a down economy they wanted my business. Never again these guys are A 1 selzy salespeople Live up to car saleman image true scum |
Ask for bill Bradford, dude calls me once a month just to check up on me n the truck.

Yeah my salesman Wes stopped calling me after I had my 1st issue. Service is horrable and service manager an idiot. When my air sensors went bad in tires they wouldn't cover it under warranty. Called ford an lady gave me a claim number for it and said she called them. Chad lambert service writer and service manager said no one called them and refused to call the lady. Took it to Allstar to David monk no problem item was fixed under warranty he didn't even have to call ford.
Truck us at Allstar right now and they are trying to figure out why charge $484 to fix a leaking seal. To them looks like no work was done. They are also replacing my carpet not letting it dry out and putting it back in. My Carpet had white foam all over it. Robinson brothers wanted to do a piss poor job. Typical of them. Attitude toward customers is so what. Love Salesmanager jack telling me my truck probably won't last 3 years without major issues. He don't even believe in ford product line. They are glad to push them though like sleeze bags. |
Buy a CHEVY!!!!!!!!! Im on my third chevy in 9 years and never had 1 problem with any of them. Sorry to hear about you bad luck with ford though, thats gotta be very frustrating to say the least

I am still a GM fan. Always have been, always will be. I'd be willing to bet that some of those who complain about bailout money have some of their money in a bank that took bailout money at one point.
If you do consider GM, go see the guys at Duplessis in Gonzales. They're a great group of people there. I do a lot of work with these guys and so, I am there a lot. Todd Suprun, their service manager is top notch. Their service advisor, James is as good a guy as you'll ever deal with. Drop me a line and I'd be glad to introduce you to them personally. I've seen em cover things that really didn't qualify. They are quick to put a customer in a loaner vehicle to keep them on pace with their day. Their sales group, although still salesmen, is top notch too. Mickey Chauncey, New car manager and Mike Orth, used, are both stand up guys. |
I really hate to say this much less post it,I have owned 7 F150's,1 F100(the best one yet),and two Ford Explorers.I am currently driving an 01 F150 4x4 and we're in the market for an Excursion b/c of increase in family size however my nest truck will be a Dodge! I have too many friends with new Fords and nothin but problems!

Went to the dealer servicing my truck to check to dodges out.
Monday I will be in a Dodge with a Hemi tired of Robinson Brothers and Ford. Found out from service department if you got a 2009 it not if you will have a water leak it will be when you have a water leak. Common problem with Fords and I don't want a truck that leaks all the time. |
2 Dodges and around 200000 miles between them and only time I put on in shop was due to bad diesel, one was oilfield company truck that you can believe was abused on bad roads daily. I have been through 2 Fords in oilfield that did not hold up that saw close to 200000 miles each and lived in the shop but I now have a King Ranch with 115000 miles and so far its good except it leaks when in a car wash, its a 2005 so it sounds common but I do like this truck. I have owned 2 GM trucks and they were good never in the shop but both were pre Obama 1990 models. I would hate to buy a new truck right because it would be tuff.

Don't use silicone. Use urethane.
|
took whole light out and sealed where it touches cab. Also check gasket where lens touches light base.

My ford receipt says installed
TA 32 sealant - silicone cost & $7.98 Body seal right side lower trim panel retest. That must be the area they said I had a huge opening. Mine poured enough to see it come under glove box area. They said common with my truck. |

Water leaked in my 2001 F150 and my 2010 F150. Its the seal on the light above the back window. Bolton fixed it for me both times no problems. I had to pay for my older one, but they fixed the new one under warranty.

Robinson brothers take them 5 hours to do oil change at $39.95 and by time do tire rotation $79.95. They are a rip off. Now when bought 07 ford from Allstar in Denham springs the oil changes were fast and price $34.95 for tire rotation and oil change.
|
Where I buy my tires in Moss Bluff, I can go back 12 months later and get a FREE trire rotation........even if I only bought a couple of tires.

This guy did a youtube video on his F150 leaking and claims the white stuff on the carpet mold. My carpet had the same thing for 6 months I was wondering if it was glue due to I didn't think mold was white.
Anyway I am in a Dodge Ram and it doesn't leak, runs pretty good, and actually rides nice so no longer my problem. |
My computer fried this week,guess Im goin get a Dodge too!
|
Bolton Ford charges $15 for an oil change, and will rotate tires too. I'm telling you can't beat their service!
