webibeay Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Hey Folks - I currently own a 2012 Ford Fusion Sport with 13,000 miles on it. It's only dealer maintained and never been in an accident. I've recently started started having problems, and I'm wondering if anyone else has seen the same issue. Over the fall and winter, I've started noticing moisture building up on the inside of the car when it rains or snow melts. As the temperatures have dropped, things have now started freezing on the inside of the car - (windows frosting up on the inside when there's no frost on the outside) as well as the display on the center stack (which shows the radio station etc...) freezing from the inside (which is now cloudy from the frost). After it rains, the windows will fog up on the inside. I tore the car apart and could not find water anywhere.... but the windows continue to fog/freeze on the inside and now it smells musty. I brought the car into the dealer who has informed me that there was a leak on the seal from the rear window which needed fixing. I then got another call from the dealer yesterday afternoon stating that they found a second leak somewhere in the front of the car and needed to keep it longer to further investigate. Recently, I've started having electrical gremlins (Blind spot sensors not working and giving me errors on the dash that they were not available) as well as the Sync turn by turn directions (which I use often) freezing and not wanting to download/or cannot find my location (Problems which I've never had) - and I'm wondering if this is the result of this water/moisture, and now thinking about long-term what this is going to-do to all the electrical wiring/connections in the car. Anyone ever have problems like this? I'm rather concerned as I do travel long distance for work a few times/month (spent 8 1/2 hrs in the car on Monday) and with my allergies and the musty smell - now I know why I was all stuffed up etc... after being in the car. The dealer has been absolutely wonderful - giving me a new Taurus as a rental and I could not have a negative thing to say about them - very very accommodating in every way possible - I'm just wondering if I should get rid of the car - I can only imagine what this moisture has done to it... Anyone have any thoughts - I'm really torn here... and frankly not sure I'd go with another Ford product if this is the sort of factory defects I'm finding.... Thanks in advance everyone!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FusionDiffusion Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Do you have a sunroof? If you take out the cabin air filter behind the glove compartment is is damp? Is it wet under the trunk mat or where the spare tire sits? Has there ever been any work done on the car or do you have anything aftermarket installed? P.S. Please do not double post. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
