Showgun Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 Have water coming into the front passenger footwell, dripping down onto the upper portion of the floormat and puddling on the WeatherTechs. Really heavy downpour and car sitting in p/lot and not moving. Not noticed this b4 but wondering if anyone else has had this issue. No drips while driving home. Are there any TSB's or recalls concerning this problem? TNX Colin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHOdded Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 How high was the water in the parking lot? The vent tubes may be clogged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Showgun Posted June 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 How high was the water in the parking lot? The vent tubes may be clogged. Thanks SHOdded, Not that high -- only half inch or so -- no buildup of water but very heavy downpour. As you say there are vent tubes around the cowling that may be clogged -- I've have to see if it passes and maybe get Ford to look at it.

Showgun Posted June 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 Something else strange happened too during the ride home: the Collision Warning stopped working (displayed that message) and when I tried the cruise control It also was not working (also displayed) -- Wondering if heavy rain negates those functions or not. No other issues that I could detect. -- heavy rains on the way home .. C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalum Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 Do you have adaptable cruise? I've had mine stop working with an error while it was snowing. I presume the radar couldn't get a lock on anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalSHO Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 I have had the collision warning quit working for me during a very heavy downpour also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I presume the radar couldn't get a lock on anything. yes to adaptive cruise. Good to know -- thanks. I expect in severe weather the computers don't allow normal usage of systems. I did the garden hose deal while in the driveway tosee if any leakage but none -- couldn't replcate. Going out again and still rainging tho not so hard -- will see what happens next trip. Colin.

mjhpadi Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 Colin, I've had mine quite working and display the message, but I believe that is just the rain...I've also had it happen the one time I had the car out when it was freezing weather and the snow built up on the ACC cover. As far as the leak, also make sure you aren't getting a leak from the drains in the sunroof. Good luck...keep us updated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes sense that the ACC will stop working if it can't 'see'........ No more recurrence in my followup run but then it wasn't raining that badly -- I'll have to watch it and keep a roll of paper towels handy ----- I hate getting moisture in the car -- I'm so careful to avoid it all year round. Bout time I called ya ----- On the horn now. C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MNRubyRed2013 Posted June 30, 2013 Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 The ACC will be affected by heavy rain and snow/slush in the winter. I've had this happen to both my 2010 and 2013. Luckily I can turn the ACC off in the 13, if I need/want to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjhpadi Posted June 30, 2013 Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 Do you mean that you can switch to normal cruise control and not ACC in the '13 or just turn it off? I can turn off the ACC in my car but not switch to a normal cruise mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had that on my Lexus ISF but not on my '11. -- I only have ACC or nothing. C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Showgun Posted June 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 There is a tsb. I had a similar problem with my Limited. They had to install some type of rain hat. I can't remember the details but it was up under the windshield. What ever happened to the water dripping in foot well? What? oh yeah -- water...... Um it stopped.........and I've had the cabin filter out and checked that to make sure it wasn't plugged........ No more dripping so far -- it was probably the deluge we had that day -- It was unusually heavy. C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
