Takata recall: steering wheel has smoked before lightly, interior lights have stayed on,steering wheel has done a 360 turn,corrosion on the side panel and panel(chrome) has fallen off. I'm not sure how late a recall time frame is but my car happens to be very old now so I'm wondering if this is the case I have pictures from what the car looked like and up to now also my car is now at 366.'- miles so this may not even be something to be turned in, this state has also done so much damage from the potholes..

When it rains the water runs off the windshield on the drivers side, the water goes down to the ground between the kick board and the fenders and properly drains to the ground. The problem is: on the passenger side the water from the windshield comes in through the kickboard area flooding the floorboard. This has been a constant problem. Water comes in and damages the carpet. Leaves a puddle of water on the floor.

During every rain water runs down the inside of the firewall on the passenger's side, behind the glove box, soaks the front carpet, and stands as much as 1 1/2" deep in the rear floor. Both carpets were very moldy. I have taken the car to dealers, body shops, and windshield glass experts, and nobody can fix it. If I run a small stream of water from the hose on the lower right corner of the windshield it will show up on the inside of the car within a minute. I have been trying to solve this problem for at least 3 years.

I have a 1999 lincoln town car. The windshield adhesive has failed apparently from having been parked outdoors for 25 days. The windshield has slipped down about one half inch and it is leaking. It is loose enough that it vibrates when the door is closed. I searched for a recall and although there was none for the lincoln windshield, I did see that the ford windstar mini van had a recall for using the incorrect urethane adhesive(campaign id number 00v020000). My lincoln towncar was built at ford's wixom plant where the windstar vans were built and near the same time.

When driving through a puddle, or even when parked in the rain, there is a water leak on front passenger floor that seems to come from up underneath and behind the glove compartment. This has been happening for over 3 years. And soaking the carpet more quickly than before. While we had no way of knowing, suspect the leak was there when we purchased. How do we find it?
