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.

Interstate, 4 lane rush hour, no where to go and I can't see. Lucky to be alive this is the 4 th time this motor has gone out. 4 times in 18 months. This is too dangerous and ford needs to be held accountable before somebody dies. This is a duplicate complaint because I left out some information on previous submition.

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.

Heater core failure. This causes vapor and odor from the engine coolant to leak through the vents and to coat the windshield with an oil-like substance making it impossible to see through the windshield. Heater core was replaced 10/04/04. Went out again 11/24/04. Ford motor company acknowledges that this is a recurring problem in this model vehicle. $737.54 to have heater core replaced. They 'think' they can prevent this from occuring again if they do something else that will cost me an additional $547.00, but 'no guarantee' that it won't happen again and no additional warranty on the heater core.

Car has a problen in the steering box. Took it to a specialist and ford discounted it. They sent a lincoln rep down and he just lied to me about the problem said it was a factory flaw and could not fix , then I took the car into the dealer for a pinging and they said they couldn't hear it (nothing was done)then later on a trip it went haywire sounded like a big diesel truck on the highway and ran like crap , sucking gas also, then changed dealers and they said they coulden't find a ping . I grabed me a mechanic and we took a little ride and before I could get it back it was pinging (took them 3 weeks to fix with me coming up almost daily to test it, and nobody can adjust the head lights on the car that is bad its idiot proof
