F-150 Lariat SuperCrew V8

  • Automatic transmission
  • 19,600 miles

After a hard South Florida rainstorm, I noticed that my backseat was wet. I called the dealer, who immediately knew what the problem was, the third brake light needed to be replaced (it sits at the top portion of the outside rear cab). Apparently, the gasket around the light fixture, shrinks up and allows water to flow into the light down into the cab. The part was $65 and the labor was $20, in all honesty, I could have done the fix myself but I did not realize that at the time. Ford quality sucks, and they refuse to stand by their produce (my truck just turned 4 but had only 19,000 miles). This should never happen on a 19,000 vehicle that is typically garage kept. My next truck will be a Toyota Tundra.

Cargo light leaked when it rained. This happened shortly after I bought my truck, it rained and I noticed my back seat was wet, after inspecting the situation I noticed drips of water on window. This was fixed under my warranty but still left a stain on my back seat.
