This has been happening for over a year now. If it rains very heavy, I come out to find the driver's side floor of my car "soaked" and sometimes with a "standing water puddle" if rained hard enough. I have run a hose and searched everywhere for a leak and cannot find. I have used clear silicone caulk around the windshield and plastic trim pieces all around where the windshield meets the front hood / engine compartment, etc. This leak is significant, causing mildew smell in the car and of course, longer term damage due to rust and such.

My doors have also gotten water collected in them and I can hear the "slosh" in them. I have enjoyed this car up to this point, but this water problem is making me want to end my run of buying Fords.

Bought the car at Thanksgiving and reported the leaks on the rear doors on November the

first. First day of rain since new. Took the car to Ford and they said there was not a problem with the doors or windows leaking. I told them to put a water hose on it while I

watched and they refused.
