What owners say
Tl* the contact owns a 2017 ford f250. The contact stated that while driving in rainy conditions, water entered the vehicle. The contact believed that the water entered the windshield area and caused the electrical wires and cables located under the dashboard and the instrument panel to become wet. The water also drained onto the brake pedal, the accelerator pedal, and the carpet. The windshield became foggy due to the failure and the defogger was activated to clear the windshield. The vehicle was taken to midway ford (8155 w flagler street, miami, fl 33144, (786) 801-2969) several times for the failure. The dealer placed a protective seal inside and outside the vehicle windshield area and the dashboard area several times however, the repair failed to correct the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 41,000.
Body cab seam seal leak. New vehicles - the seals are cracking and allowing water to seep into the vehicles causing water and mold damage inside. Water enters cab into doors and underneath floor covering causing damage and potential health problems. This was found on my vehicle while performing recalls and a windshield replacement at the dealer. Dealer and ford trying to make me pay for mfg defect.
I am having the same issue as in case # pe18-011. My tailgate will open randomly on its own. The tailgate release will actuate over and over when the button is pushed once. Took it to a ford dealer and they confirmed that it is the same issue as tsb 17-2196. Water gets into a wiring harness. This should be a safety recall as the tailgate opening while towing could cause a limit to steering ability as the tailgate can make contact with the front of the trailer. It can also cause damage to the tailgate itself if it lands on something.
Rainwater leaks into cab onto floor board left and right side.

- What is wrong
- Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2017-2022 F-250 and F-350 Super Duty vehicles equipped with gasoline engines and aluminum driveshafts. Underbody heat and noise insulators may loosen and contact the aluminum driveshaft, which could damage the driveshaft and cause it to fracture.

- A fractured driveshaft can cause a loss of drive power, or a loss of vehicle control if the driveshaft contacts the ground. Additionally, unintended movement could occur while parked if the parking brake is not engaged. Any of these scenarios can increase the risk of a crash.
