I have a 2002 ford f150 during the last rain we had water leaked in from the front windshield and got into the fuse box and shorted out the battery, fuse box and a module total cost was over $1,000.00. Insurance said they could not cover it because the service manager said this is a common problem with ford trucks so the adjuster said it sounded like a defect and ford should correct the problem. I talked to ford and they said no recall has been issued and no reimburse ment could be made, but if this is a common problem with ford trucks why hasn't a recall been issued.
