During hard rains or the auto car wash, water pours through the top of the back window. By using a garden hose we found the third tail light was leaking between the two layers of the plastic lens. The lens fills up and then leaks into the cab and drips out by the edge of the headliner. Puts enough moisture into the cab that the defroster cannot clear the inside of the windows, which makes a BIG SAFETY HAZARD!. Not to mention the soaked seat and floor.

Called Ford dealer - there is not a recall - said someone must have pinched the gasket while replacing a light bulb. But that is not the problem.

Ford Motor Company come up with a fix for this!

After go around with moonroof, see previous complaint. Continued to have water showing up on back seat during rain. Turned out it was the third brake light/cargo light. Bad seal. Once again a common complaint/problem with F 150. Seems a manufacturing defect or engineering blunder in designing the darn thing if seal is constantly failing. Makes you sick when you spend that kind of money on a vehicle and some stupid design or manufacturing flaw ends up costing you more, just after warranty expires.

went to ford to get fixed and all they did was caulk around the light to stop it for awhile, this lasted about a year and now it is doing it again. They could have put in a new light but it wasn't under warranty and they were back ordered at the time and was going to cost about $250 just for the light! Now a year later it is leaking again and has damaged the inside lining in my truck with water stains. I do believe ford needs to do a recall on this, there are many complaints on the internet about this and Ford knew exactly what was wrong with it when i brought it in...... Plus the light are back ordered????? why would they be back ordered if it wasn't a problem. I found a light on ebay for $50, guess I am going to try it don't know if it will fix it. I have read that they make the lights the same so probably wont make much of a difference will more than likely start leaking within a year. Wish I knew how to get Ford to fix this problem.

We bought both our trucks, new in 2010, for almost $80,000. If it was a beat up truck then whatever I'd slap the "caulk" on...no problem, but its not. If only one truck had the problem...well...again no problem, but its both and it turns out that there are A LOT more F150 owners who have the same problem and even when we took it to the service department they said they had a lot of F150 owners that came in to have it replaced for $300! Yes $300! I am frustrated because we paid a lot of money for these trucks and we expect it to....well...not have this kind of a problem. We are now considering getting rid of BOTH trucks and never going back to ford...ever!

During rain, or when washing the truck, water apparently leaks through the 3rd brake light (cargo light) leaves a stain on the headliner and drips onto my rear leather seats. I noticed the drops on my leather seat the night I purchased the vehicle at Beach Ford Suffolk. Driving home during a heavy rain, I noticed water on the rear seat and attributed it to my playing with the button that opens the rear window. Unfortunately, I've noticed water on the seat three times since. Does Ford have a repair for this??
