LouEdge117 Posted July 8, 2016 Report Share Posted July 8, 2016 Purchased my used 2015 Edge Titanium in May and read about the Leak Recall shortly after so I took it into my local Ford Dealership since it's still under warranty. When I picked up my car at the end of the day they said that the Recall 15B21 for the leak was performed at another dealer. I certainly hope they were not lying, but is there any way to check for sure? I would like to see it documented somewhere. We've had a lot of rain the past week and a half, for the past couple of days I have lifted my rubber mat protection on the driver side and felt the carpet mat and it feels slightly damp. Not terribly damp, but still should not have that much moisture at all. There's no way my feet could go through my rubber protective mat and soak the carpet that much. I even lifted the carpet out and it has a slight mildew smell. Again, they claimed the repair was made. I plan to take it back in, but wanted opinions on here. It certainly looks like the carpet under my steering wheel has been moved around... it does not seem secure. I fear this car had significant water damage before I purchased. The metal steering shaft near the floorboard has a rusty color, which makes me immediately think of water damage, is anybody else's look like that? Appreciate any feedback or advice.

akirby Posted July 8, 2016 Report Share Posted July 8, 2016 Whether the recall was performed or not doesn't really matter - if it's leaking it's leaking and needs to be fixed and inspected. Try hitting the driver's side A pillar area with a hose for several minutes with the carpet pulled back and see if you can see water coming in.

LouEdge117 Posted July 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2016 Is the "A Pillar" where the door meets the front windshield area? I was just wanting some kind of documentation that is was "repaired" at some point in the past, and not just take their word for it. I will be returning it to Ford next week, but if this causes damage in the meantime or in the future I would like to have record that it was "repaired" in the past, so they can't say that ignored the recall. Could the moisture be coming from somewhere else? Lately I have noticed my A/C making a CLICKING noise behind the dash when I turn the A/C on. Could it be a leak from that? ( I will mention this to the dealership as well). Lastly, to anybody else who has had water damage...is your metal steering rod rusted at your floorboard??

akirby Posted July 8, 2016 Report Share Posted July 8, 2016 The repair is in Ford's Oasis system if it was done. Are you seeing any condensation below the vehicle on a humid day? If not then a clogged A/C drain hose is likely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LouEdge117 Posted July 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2016 No, I don't see any condensation below the vehicle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted July 8, 2016 Report Share Posted July 8, 2016 If you do a search here or on youtube or google you should find a lot of examples of how to clear an A/C drain blockage yourself - or take it to the dealer since it's under warranty.
